UPDATE:

Hey everyone,

The groupbuy is now live. Unfortunately, the GB post hasn't been approved yet but we are live!

Groupbuy Thread Approved! Link

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

on May 13, I launched an interest check for my first project: TYPEAU.40 Planck Edition.


First of all, I want to thank everyone who paid interest in this project. I did not expect the amount of attention this project and all of the super positive responses.
However, after the time of prototyping, a time comes where a groupbuy is launched  😃 And, with that, I'd like to tell you, we're go for launch at the 1st of September until the 1st of October!
From then on, you can preorder the TYPEAU.40 Planck Edition, a high quality, chunky, angled, high profile aluminum case for the OLKB Planck.
Preorders will be placed trough my website typeau.com and manufacturing will start on halfway trough October and is expected to take 4 to 8 weeks.

The case is compatible with both DROP and OLKB PCBs, mid/hi plates and screws. An optional brass or stainless steel plate is available for order during the checkout and will be manufactured by Laserboost.

Based on 2 Cases incl. Plates. If a large quantity order is placed, I could send an extra charge based on quantity.


NOTE: I can't say this enough but there is still some confusion: This groupbuy does NOT include a Planck PCB. PCB are currently available on DROP and in the future on OLKB.

The Preorder button appears at 00:00 CEST September 1st on my website: typeau.com

What is the difference between 6060 and 6063, for example?

You do realize that "Planck" is a registered trademark, right?

Came here to ask if that was the case lol

[typeaudesign]

This is a case for the Planck, hence Planck Edition.
I have clearance from Jack using the name in this way, so we good!

Does it mean I can't use the Planck constant in my calculations now?

Ah cool! Just figured I'd make sure you're aware as this has caused trouble in the past.

You can use the glyph for it, that's not patteroni'd.

Appreciate it, It's the first thing that came up in my initial IC haha

All set for starting tonight?

Hell yeah!

Hell yeah!

Excited!

Neither is the name Planck in any other context.

Besides that anyone is also free to design any case and say it's Planck compatible, so really no need to play trademark police enforcer here. Especially when it's already cleared with OLKB.

Well, originally I ran with TYPEAU.40 Planck which is a little more infringing. No bad intentions ofcourse, I just completely didn't think of it. Then I ran it by Jack and we agreed on Planck Edition being fine.

The groupbuy is not limited, right? Like, if I order in 3 weeks, I will still get it, right?
