It's less about jamming glue and tape in there to fill the empty spaces, and more about manufacturing new parts. There's 3 key pieces in there that like to wear out. They can pretty easily be taken out and replaced if the parts were readily available. My goal is to make those parts available.

Well its shouldn't be too expensive to get those parts manufactured... they are small plastics right? shouldn't be more the 2.50 ~ 5 bucks a piece.. build some protoypes then send it to china and they'll make a few thousand for even a better price... then build a cheap website where people can order them..
|
If it costs $5 a piece, I'm going to scrap this whole idea. That's 3 pieces plus some packaging. Not to mention my time and money for putting this all together. I'd be in $20 a unit. No ones going to fix their controller for $60 each.

.. that would be just the first ones.. once you get the right protoype build send it to china and they'll make it for a few cents a piece..
then spend money on a good graphic designer who will make a fine instruction manual and just sell the parts and instruction manual from your site.. no need to make those adjustments yourself..

A few cents would be fantastic! I'm trying to get a few quotes from people right now, but no one wants to give me a quote until I've given them a 3D model file. And I can't do that until I find a factory sealed controller to work from. Right now I'm exploring the idea of making an instructional video on how to do it, and making sure its posted on the product page. And Youtube. And have a link to it on the package just to make sure people see it.
