Hello everyone!

We’re back to show everyone what we’ve been working on since Series 00, our first product.

This interest check is for Series TY, a CNC machined aluminum tray that sits on your desk. Its weight park itself and is not easily moved by accidental bumps with a soft silicone bottom. Wide opening for easily viewing your contents, sorting, and pouring objects in and out of the tray.

Today, we’re finally ready to show you Series TY Type-00.

We hope you like what you see, and as always, feel free to leave any feedback.

Where are your protos? It's a tiny slab of machined alu, surely it's not that hard

why do you need a new account to post this?

I hope this is a late april's fool.
There are already plenty of options for in stock trays out there, not sure why anybody would join a 6-9+ months GB for a tray.

Idk the point in this really nor do I understand why someone would join a gb for it.

imo trays are already pretty pointless and this one doesn't even look that great to me...

I would like to get feedback on which design variation to make the prototype of. It's true that it's not hard to make, but due to the pandemic, the prototype's lead time has increased significantly.

Prototypes will be made and I'll take photos of them for GB!

This is Cubic's account as the previous one is loop's.

There are always other options for trays, but not that many are in-stock options nor may fit their current desk setup/theme. I would like to provide another option for the community to choose from. The targeted GB fulfillment is 5-6 months!
