Finally back to States...
China’s vpn banning situation was really bad
Happy to report that Think6.5 is progressing along smoothly. Will monitor progress and provide shipping time estimates late August/early September.

First look of the full brass think6.5 (black PVD).

Relaying from Discord/Wechat:

Think6.5 Progress:


Transparent PC: 370 sets of CNC are all processed and then sandblasted immediately.


Aluminum alloy shell: 180 sets of CNC have been processed, 90 sets of case have not been completed, and the top case is expected to be completed on September 25.


Brass : inspection found some of bumps, go back to plating, re-grinding and re-treatment.


Black PC: 90 sets of bottom case have been completed. The deformation of top case is huge big. The yield of good products is only 20%. More than 80 stop case of black PC have been scrapped. Now the problem is being solved to improve the yield.


Name plate & counterweight:
800 brass badges & 920 brass counterweights, all CNC processed, is polishing.

1100 aluminium badges,CNC all finished processing, is polishing, and other aluminium case processing will be oxidized together.

Namebadge boxes: 130, CNC complete. To be sandblasted with the case.
6.5 The overall number is too large, so there are some delays[Sob]. I try to complete some shipments of PC cases by October or early October.
It should be shipped in batches.

I'll check the PC's shell first, and then give it to my partner, who will deliver the goods.

I'll go back to merchandise oxidation.

I'm sure there will be a lot for sale once they ship since there were so many participants, but certainly too late in the game to get a GB spot (and I don't think the runner is supported spot swapping).

Think6.5 update: PC cases done, expect to finish all Alu cases by 10/1. Some delays for full brass (some PVDs are again re-worked). Will share address change form soon and expect shipping invoices from airpotter.

There are no spot sellings iirc. You'll have to wait until people receive theirs and sell.

Is this shipping like the E.65 method? That arrived in two days I think, might have been some DHL or something.
