i can't belive i still get involved in posts about this ****
anyway
the samples were to prove the supply chain worked (which was the biggest obstacle), production samples should come in march (or earlier)
so, these were newly manufactured, but with a slightly different piece of tooling, which was a communication error
the only part of the original mold that was damaged was the runners, so the gates and sprues are fine
the entity that made the mistake here was massdrop for not communicating, and there has been assurance from md that communication will be improved in the future
other than that, i know as much as you guys do
there's a lot of misinformation being spread, which isn't doing anyone any favors
i will also say that personally attacking anyone doesn't do anything to solve the problem. the best thing you can do right now is to vote with your wallet
cancelling a massdrop order is as easy as sending a support ticket, maybe easier
the dates for most of this had been planned out before gsus even entered IC, so it's just a case of unfortunate timing on both ends, i seriously doubt md is intentionally being shady to gain sales
but im sure there are plenty of you who won't believe me anyway and i'll probably get a few more pms on discord telling me to harm myself in creative ways because some of you get way twisted about ****ing keyboard switches
occam's razor applies
