Yah had to resolder
Did the switch break?
good for you, well we all know they are knock offs but for the price you still want a decent product! I'm still holding off till they fix a couple of the problems. And till I even think about ordering a pair! (Even though they look so good) hope they help you sort your problem (I feel it for you) all the best
This one is really bad... I wonder if this was on the qc pics ?
could you post some pictures of the box ? With close ups on the angles and what lies under the foam ?
I wouldn't pay that. I'm still waiting for the seller I'm working with to get back to me when my size is in stock. If it turns out to actually be V2.1 it will be sub-$200 price.
I wish they had just put the RC tech in the V2.1 body.
So I know everyone scared to wear v3 cause of el panels. So here. Not glued or anything but here are the fake panels I designed so they will never break. They are brighter than the els and can see in daytime nicely. New electronics most likely is needed but when I have time I will think of a way to wire into your system for minimal cuts. But hey here you go. Perfect color in person and looks great.
Thanks for the kind words mate. Will see what happens.
EDIT: just compared the QC Photo to the photo I took of the Shoes I received....no strange material underneath the sole [emoji848]

@Kevzie this is perfect thanks for your time !!
It's definitely there in the photos, you were never going to pick that out though. It's the angle the photo was taken at that's disguising it.

Yeah, I saw that too. @Jedifyfe posted it on the previous page I think. I can't see any site releasing them on their site as yet which was previously mentioned, especially in their obviously unfinished state. I know you're working on a system, will be great to see your take on it.
I see the EL is not really being practical for a long term solution.
would someone here really bite at that pricepoint? that's a nice way to send $1500 down the toilet when they break and need to be fixed just to be wearable like the non-autolace V3Well with only one site offering them and no confirmation from David, we aren't going to be jumping on these just yet. Once David's site offers them with pictures and videos, then we will bite.
I keep seeing this, and it's simply not true. airair did mine, and it just requires you to make the semi circles a few mm smaller than the originals. I also used cavxs clear soles, which tend to protrude a little from the soles which gives it room to flex. There is no reason that EL panels should break if done correctly. However, I would suggest adding sturdy insoles, followed by a soft one on top. This stops the shoes from flexing in the middle, causing the small bridge to snap. It's really quite simple logic.
Alternatively, add the EL panels as two separate pieces instead of the bridge and black tape.

Been a bit busy, so posting has fallen by the wayside. I have acquired several items that will be put to good use in the future. I bought a vacuum chamber with a two stage pump. It is probably overkill, but whatever. I have some 20 lbs of silicone, enough to make a fair reproduction of Pamela Anderson. I also bought Clear Flex 50 urethane. It is UV stable, and the Shore hardness should be right in the green zone for comfort plus durability. I have the proper blue So-Strong colorant, so I will play with getting the varying levels of blue tint before committing to the specific color.
I reviewed the molds made by @WizardBTTF and compared them to the ones used by @cloneprops. I am interested to know why Wizard opted to separate the outriggers whereas cloneprops cast that entire section as one piece? I very well might make a version of both to see how they physically compare, but I will need to settle on a semi-permanent adhesive solution if I plan to wear test them. Freesole is strong stuff! That said, its setup time is a bit long for my tastes. Given Wizard reporting it will develop air bubbles if you are not careful, there must be a viable alternative that sets faster. The adhesive industry is massive. I recognize a two part mold is the ticket, as well dropping the Clear Flex into a pressure chamber will result in the best chance for being bubble free. I have not pulled the trigger on a pressure pot, so any guidance on a suitable one is appreciated.
I have more thoughts on a practical lacing system. Nitinol has some limits I have found, but I believe they can be overcome with reasonable accommodation. I have smiled more than once thinking of the irony of Mags and utilizing magnets. The useful life of the material includes thousands of actuation. It is seriously strong being an alloy of nickle and titanium. I see no real barriers in applying it to this application, it will enable a movie accurate lacing, and strap without the hazards of multiple moving parts. I believe the key to longevity and durability requires minimizing the number of points of failure. The controller board will handle the timing/sequence, and the Nitinol plus magnets are not mechanisms to break as they are not "moving" parts like a motor.
