Phoenix LTX Reload Mechanism Replacement

thingiverse

The Phoenix LTX laser tagger boasts an innovative reload mechanism where a component drops from the base of the grip, requiring users to slap it back into place. This design is particularly neat until it malfunctions due to one of several reasons, forcing users to dismantle the device and lubricate the slide. They must also tighten certain screws without over-tightening them, which can cause binding. Moreover, users need to ensure they don't lose the spring and that everything remains in place during reassembly. I developed expertise in disassembling these devices and performing the necessary repairs. However, the process is still extremely laborious. Now, there's an alternative solution - a replacement component for the part that drops out of the device. This new piece features a mounting hole for a pushbutton and only requires minimal modifications. Users need to cut two pairs of wires and solder extensions onto the wires connected to the switch before attaching them to the new switch.
