I have seen all the threads relating to the scubagenv3. are these available? can I get one? I think from what I have read I have to build it correct?

link to the whole thing?

I don't think there's any co-ops going for a new batch of SGv3s right now. You'll probably have to keep an eye out on the classifieds.

Edit to add: Dan released all the dimensions etc so if you want you can always find a local machine shop to turn the SS pieces for you.

PKZap27 does a great build, but I would think you could do it yourself. I wouldn't sell it if I were you, set up right it's a great Atty.

Does anyone know who rebuilds them and is it a lot to do so? I want to sell it but at the same time I don't lol

I've built a few, no issues at all other than they are a bit large. Takes about 30 minutes start to finish. I'm sure if you stepped back and started over you could built it easily ;)

Well I was thinking of doing this, machine a connector with a press fit. Machine a center pin that goes through the center section to the top insulate it with delrin pressed in, drill and tap the center pin to 0-80. There I can run a small wire screwed on to the positive to the positive post. In my head sounds like it will work but I don't know. And what can I use for the positive post insulated and all that but that won't come undone? Negative well i can just press in a post drilled and tapped. Positive is my main issue.

I bought a 0-80 stud that I screwed into a tethlon tube and then slide that into the Bic pen piece. Works good with nuts and washers. For the negative connection I just took the spring pin that was included in our co-op and made a small cut perpendicular to the cut up the middle. This allowed me to pinch the nail with pliers and leave the bottom open larger so it could be pressed into the SS body. On the nail I'm using two washers and a nut as PKZap and others have done.
