2x3x4 LED and SIP socket Group Buy - Round 1 Cyan | Pink | Sky Blue

[Synjin]

Yes we did and at a good price compared to non GB prices.

[Dreamre]

That's why I ordered em, I wanted the SIP sockets.

[ceflame]

That's good then .

I just looked in the topic post and it was right there too, interested to see some comparisons to the shorter ones once this GB ships out then 

[slickmamba]

I feel like I shouldve ordered more sip sockets, haha.

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of updates recently. I've been mega-swamped with work leading up to my trip. There will be more SIP sockets available for purchase before shipments start. I just need to update my tools to support add-on orders. I had to boost orders to meet our nice price tier.

This has taken longer than I anticipated, but hopefully the point of the group buy is still to save money with bulk ordering. I'm not sure I'm up to doing another round though, it is *exhausting*.

If you have any other questions for me please let me know.

[Synjin]

Signing up for more once we can =)

[heedpantsnow]

Group buys *always* take longer than anticipated no matter what the organizer says or expects. It's not anyone's fault it's just how it always goes.

Its all good dude.  This is to be expected.  GBs are a **** TON of work.  Honestly, I have avoided doing them because they are way more work than I am able to do at this point.  If the progress has not moved in a month or two, it will be an average GB.

I never did any GB but I can only imagine the **** ton of work needed to complete one. The logistics of it all explodes my head off.

If this wasn't clear by the lack of jubilant screams of happiness, the LEDs didn't arrive yesterday but should be arriving any day now.

Thanks for the update. Way to be on top of it even with your busy schedule 

[nuclearsandwich]

LEDs arrived last night but too late for me to do much about it. I won't be on GeekHack a lot this week but please PM me if you have any questions or concerns.

[exitfire401]

[slickmamba]

[asdfjkl36]

Your reward for a nice vacation?  Sorting tiny ass parts!

Welcome back.

[radio_killah]

Hopefully we can get moving on these  I got some keyboards that need building!

Just wanted to chime in here and report that I used LEDs from this vendor (these actually) on my Octagon 75% build this weekend (no sip sockets) and they look amazing -- super bright.  I had no duds.  They fit perfectly in the space on a Cherry MX switch and were otherwise really easy to work with.  Couldn't be happier.  You guys are in for a treat.

Not that I had any doubts, but that's definitely reassuring. Thanks!

  Sorry if I missed this already, but I was wondering if you already placed the SIP order?

I forgot to post an update when I placed the order, but yeah SIP sockets arrived while I was away and are here.

Addon Orders

If you have an order in this group buy and wish to add items to it. The following information is for you. If you want to place an order but don't have a paid order in this group buy your time will come later.

How to add to an existing order

In order to prevent delays in shipping, add ons to existing orders need to be placed by Pacific Midnight on Friday 27 February. To add to an existing order send me a PM requesting the number of each item to add to your existing order. Don't send me the total or your second invoice will be too big.

Example:

Please add

100 CYAN LEDs
50 PINK LEDs
20 SIP Sockets

to my order. Thanks!

There's no need to send any additional information. Once I process your PM, you'll receive a new invoice to the same paypal email from your original order which needs to be paid within 24 hours of receipt. Otherwise I will cancel it and your order will ship with its original allotment.

Any orders that remain unpaid after Saturday 28 February will not ship until Monday 9 March.

If we've discussed adding to an order and you haven't paid for the add on, I'm sorry to say that I've totally forgotten that conversation. Please forgive me and start a fresh PM thread. :heart:

General status

Sorting is happening and the big box is packed. It's taking a bit longer than expected due to my scale not being as nice as I thought. I'll work on replacing the scale today. radio_killah stopped by before dinner yesterday to pick up his stuff, so that's one order delivered.

Speaking of sorting, adult.app (aka Sunrise Calendar) reminds me that I am attending Accessibility Camp on Saturday so the weekend sorting party will be Sunday sometime. PM me for location. There will be coconut water and cold brewed coffee available.

If I could afford it, I'd do it in a heartbeat. That would be a blast.

Thanks for the update, I have the perfect build for the pink LEDs.

[nuclearsandwich]

Invoices for add ons are sent out. I know there are folks with late orders. I will be handling y'all after GDC next week.

[slickmamba]

Paid ty to everyone involved in packing!

[radio_killah]

Got in a good couple hours of sorting. There is still a lot left to do though. If you are in the bay area and can spare a few hours let Steven know. The more people the better! 

[Evi1_0ne]

 Are you guys weighing the LEDs in order to count them?  If so what types of scales are you using, brands and models?

[radio_killah]

Neither of us had scales with high enough accuracy lol. We resorted to just counting them and separating by hand.

  That's crazy.  A scale with .01 accuracy is like $20.  Imagine the time savings.

Yeah it would have definitely helped but we only had a limited amount of time together so we just decided to do it by hand.

  So how did the LEds arrived packed in bulk?  by the thousand?
