**Update**
Changelog from prototype to final unit.
  • Removed mounting point directly under PCB. I am doing final testing with 4 mounting points on top and bottom instead of 3.
  • Adding 1 piece of poron case foam to the kit. I think the board sounds really nice without it, but it does improve the board sound slightly.
  • Working on securing horizontal alignment. Right now there is a small bit of space from left to right, so will build in tabs to secure this spacing.

After seeing Clackbait Images, you should consider at least one more dark colors; i.e. Maroon/Burgundy.

Why is this group buy running again?  Did the first run not meet MOQ?

Manufacturer kinda ghosted us. While we switched to new manufacturer (DDS) and got things lined up, we re-opened for those who missed it.

Hi all,

Due to issues with Mechs & Co, this GB has been cancelled. I am sure everyone is aware, but wanted to update here. Join my discord for info or message me there, @streamline.

I have made virtually all information, even from private DMs, public for complete transparency.
