I didn't read through all the posts, so if this has been mentioned I apologize for repeating it.
I think you should consider a simple brass slab for the weight. certainly do some engraving if you want, but I think the full thick slab is a crucial part of what makes the Singa and the 910RE sound so good.
^Very much this! Originally joined E6.5 for PC but ended up not to due to the lack of a thick brass slab on a PC case. Polycarb without a thick heavy brass slab can't be good imo.
Bummer that you dropped the original weight design. Grills kinda looks like kbd67's weight which I hate. Could definitely reduce the detail to reduce machining cost, but I still ship the original brass slap concept much more.
Thanks for the feedback. This is very helpful!
The motivation to change to the current version was definitely not due to costs, but feedback on the original patterns. I was actually not aware of KBD67's weight, but looking at it now, it is similar and I am changing it. We have several design ideas for the brass weight and working hard to converge to one.
The weight design is not final, and because I designed it to be my own endgame, the case + weight will be heavy enough to qualify as an endgame
I also agree the weight on E6.5 is too small for a PC case, it's going to be too light, albeit I think on aluminum it's fine.
