    Eye questions

    Ive gotten back into paintball after a long time away. My very modified E-Xtra has a scenario dreams board with a reflective eye, which a lead came off at the eye when I tore it down recently. I cant find a replacement reflective eye. Anybody know where I could get a replacement? Its just a four lead one, but idk if finding an eye by itself is doable or if I need to start looking for vision imp and eblade eyes is where I need to go. I dont have a setup to drill precisely enough for break beam.

    I'm no eye expert but I have a set of eyes for a Virtue board. Would they work for this application?

      The issue is it being a single, reflective eye. Break beam eyes are generic size and not hard to fine the component. The single unit in the right size with a emitter and receiver is the issue.

    Most of that stuff can be saved. They are fairly generic parts you just need to track down the actual parts you need

      Trbo323 the issue is using a reflective eye, im not able to find the part. Finding a 3mm circular bound beam eye has been impossible for me to find. Amazon is the only real place I know to look. Ive looked at some other b2b minded sites but they didnt have it either.

        Would any of these work? Opto Components [ZDSPB Store]
        Ydna is still around, but i would contact him before buying directly on the site.

          The reflective one listed there is the best option I've seen so far, but is still less than optimal. Right now, it has a 3mm cylindrical eye. The one there is 3×6, so id have to enlarge the hole and would kill any chance of doing break beam in the future if I ever do get my stuff set back up to do that. Thank you for finding that, though. If I cant find the actual part, I may end up going with that.
