just curious but what are the shipping date estimates for this and weaven?
Oh I have a horror story was about to tel everyone.
We are expecting some delay (about 1.5-2 more week compare to estimate 7-8weeks) due to acrylic blocks that I bought was not thick as spec said.
Our acrylic case thickness is 21.5mm from case bottom to a little bit higher than keycap bottoms. For that thickness, 25mm thick block would be sufficient, we think it will actually run from 24mm to 24.5mm. When they arrived, almost half of the blocks are only about 23 - 23.5mm, which is not good enough since we need to machine the surface for uniform thickness. After some unsuccessful to get the acrylic provider get them replace, we decide to order the replacement needed from someone else, with myself measure them with digital caliper before paying.
Surprisingly, most of them are close to 24mm or even 23.8. We can only measure the edge of the un-cut sheet so no way to know if they're all thick enough at areas far from the edge. After some calculations, we decide to go for 30mm thick acrylic so plenty of room for thickness error.
But that's come with a cost other than little higher material price. Most of them are true 30mm, not an block thinner than 29mm! I was expected them to be around 27 to 27.5mm (due to our experience with 25mm thick ones).
Now we have downtime due to halting for faulty ones, wait time for those new 30mm arrived, and 5mm more to shave down each block which is a lots since we run carefully so no chipping on acrylic - a hard but brittle material.
