well the unit atm is basically the size of a hardbox of 20 stinkies.
I think we need to call on all the Reonauts to say where they prefer the fire button.
In my view, the position of the fire button can make or break this whole device.
The only box mod I have is the MVP. Its fire button is on the front face near the top. Works quite well with the side of the thumb which comes naturally to rest on it when holding the device. It is also a bit recessed and requires quite a press with the side of the thumb. Sometimes it is a bit difficult to press though.
I think we need to figure this out carefully and I agree with @Matthee's previous post that this is important.
What do the REO owners say about their fire buttons at the top?
Also, the REO fire button sticks out quite a bit.
Doesnt that make it more convenient and easier to use? Just saying. I am not a REO owner unfortunately...

Side button like a vtr is the most natural imo

There's a place in Cape Town that lets you use their 3d printer for free , just need to remember the name
ok what i did not take into account with my estimates was the fact that the atty side of the tokkie is rounded and will therefore feel much smaller in a persons hand, even my smallish ones so you will have a better grip and reach with your fingers
AAAAAH I REMEMBERED ! It's government subsidized , they've got a couple machines that may come in handy , not sure 100% how it works , but send them a mail .

My suggestion is to leave the holes out for the 3d print. This way we can send the model around and get some suggestions for fire button and up/down button placement. Always better to have it in hand to figure out the small things. What do you guys think? We can always just drill the holes our selfs if we feel happy
Or have all three down the side AND all three on top for a more realistic feel when testing, or is that not technically feasible? If not, I agree with TylerD's suggestion.
just a question to the development team if the measurement were correct it is 5cm plus , the dna chip is 1.3 cm and you can fold over the screen to lay on top of the chip. could you not place the chip and screen on the top of the device next to the atty? you could save on some width this way?
if you are squonking with your middle or ring finger you can fire with your thumb and do adjustments

Okidoki!
I'm going to prep the casing for 3D printing.
I will be leaving out the firebutton and up/down button and screen holes.
When we have it in hand and can get a feel for it, then we can just make the holes etc.
Atleast we can then start fitting the insides and see if we have enough space inside etc.
In this way, we van also see if we can shuffle things around etc.
I think the first part now is to get something in hand to get a good feel for it.
You all ok with this? What do you think?
