We note the discussions regarding the use of Aluminium maze cores and the issue found in the Black Pilot regarding being able to "hop" to the 1.5mm depth ledge.
We found that the pin shoulder inside the can make the pin length in the maze too short. This was approximately 0.27mm shorter, so the pin was not reaching the bottom of the 2mm reset channels.
Some people found their cores to be okay while others, through force managed to get to the intermediate level. The reason for this is that the inside of the sleeves which is made from a tube, varies in size and may contribute to the issue.
We can assure everyone that we know this problem and have identified the correct lengths to ensure all pins reach the full depth of the reset traps.
In addition, by getting our engineers to make the sleeve, pin, and can, we can have reliable and consistent sizing. This ensures a smooth internal of the sleeve to allow the O-rings on the maze to do the correct operation needed to run the puzzle.
The Brass maze will have no benefit if the problem with the pin exists. The prototype I've been using of the original Aluminium core is smooth and fully functional, even after a large amount of time and effort.
By using our engineers and fully testing to ensure correct tolerances are being manufactured, our mazes will be fully functional. In addition, we are only applying 3 levels (1.mm maze depth, 1.5mm intermediate depth, and 2mm trap depth).
Regarding the Brass cores, these will give a premium feel to the maze as we found using the Handmade and the original REVOMAZE 1, that the maze core becomes smoother over time, as long as no excess force is used.
We will be ensuring ledges, and ramps, are of adequate size to ensure reliable operation. We found some people when confronted with too steep a ramp, wear the ramp out, making the maze un-functional.
