Has the GB for this started yet or did I miss it?

Yes, GB has started! I posted about it on Reddit and a couple other places but don't have enough posts here to make a GB post. It's open until November 25th!

GB was a success! We hit the MOQ last week and the GB closed yesterday. Ordering everything from the manufacturers today.

Got an update from my case manufacturer yesterday. All bottom parts have been machined and they are currently working on machining the tops.
