PSA: Attack of the clones aliexpress edition
I just saw one of my designs in aliexpress, after another post of clones from rabbitlabs here:
interesting redesign with screws
For reference, my design is slightly smaller, with a screwless snap fit case that took hundreds of iterations to get "perfected" 😬
but of course both designs are based heavily on all the designs around this geiger-müller tube so not really complains here.
It is the third time I see some design cloned (hackrf portapack case, mayhem camera thingy and now flippenheimer). Clones don’t reaaally bother me, they act like a weird flatterring. I know I am very lazy making batches in this hobby, and these are quiet reminders that the design was kinda worthy
What do you think about this type of clone? which is much cheaper to get, slighty less cool looking (my personal opinion?) for your flipper?
