Protective case

[erikh5014]

Well, decided to build a protective sheild today and was so excited to try it out. Got home and it wont read a single shot. Tried to raise the unit to see if i needed to lower the holes or what not and cant get a read. So i attatched a pick so someone that has one working can eye ball it and tell me if i need to raise the holes or lower etc... thank u in advance


i tried to take the pic at a level angle but if u need more let me know

I would start with getting a file and slowly start trying to make the bigger rectangle holes a little bigger on the bottom to extend downward and go from there. There was a little trial and error with mine as well. I just kept making the holes a little bigger at a time until it worked with still not letting a ball through.

Alright will do. looks like some elbow grease tomorrow haha

How thick is the lexan and do you have the skytrak right up against it?

[erikh5014]

It's 1/4" lexan and the skytrak is right against it. I plan on adding some 2mm foam strips for extra protection,

I had to enlarge my holes at the bottom to get it to read consistently. Still won't let a ball through.

Alright i'll work on lowering them today. I did slightly and had a few shots read.

Another thing on the instructions it says to remove the film cover on the lense but there was also a big paper with the instructions that said do not remove film. What should i do there

I removed the film cover on the back of the skytrak and left the one in front alone.

same.. removed thin plastic sheet with the tab asking to get pulled. leave the harder plastic one on the front

Where are you guys getting your 1/4" or 3/8" lexan?

[erikh5014]

Got mine from amazon 12"x12" free shipping with prime

[allen2be]

did you go with 1/8", 3/8", 1/4" What do you recommend?

[erikh5014]

I went with 1/4" because davrays design was 6mm which comes out to almost 1/4"

Did you make sure you printed out the paper at the correct size and measure the line? I believe it was 50mm or something like that. If not, your holes may have been too small due to incorrect printing size of the paper.

[erikh5014]

I am pretty sure i did. I unchecked the fit to page which automatically checked original size. I also measured the line which came out to 1 31/32 almost 2" so thats real close to 50mm.

After filing the holes down a ways it started to read shots.

[wbond]

That is strange, hole size must be quite sensitive. I did mine freehand with a dremel and due to that they may have been slightly bigger than the template So far it hasn't missed a shot.

[erikh5014]

Must be nice. I bet i lowered mine 1/2". It was weird too because i would hit a few shots without the screen to make sure it was working properly. Then i would attatch the screen and it would stop reading. I would then take the screen off and it would still not read until i disconnected and reconnected. Probably bought a lemon haha.
