Quick update: thank you, everyone, for completing the invoices! I've submitted the production order to the machine shop on Monday, and they are quoting me for an early June delivery to the bead blasting shop in ATL. With any luck, we may be able to start shipping these out in mid-June. More to follow. GHVery exciting! I'd appreciate a shipping info confirmation before shipment as I expect to move in mid June. I would be wary of USPS forwarding to be honest. Please do add a note to my order!

Post by: hayt on Thu, 31 May 2018, 15:17:25
So bummed I arrived late to this beautiful party :'(
Any chances of round 2?
Maybe! Not really sure yet, I would really prefer to find an outsource to Asia for a larger QTY production run, if there is a demand for it. Also a potential for a very small run of 9x12 (108 slot) case.
Going through all the nylon bolts, as they have a bit of extra nylon thread here and there that I either clipped or shaved off. I imagine over time, the nylon heads will smooth out nicely.

How much savings do you think a round 2 produced overseas would have. I really like the screws and other features this case has over the evil box or even my crappy tackle box case.
Great question man!
Once we are through with this group buy I will do a deep dive into outsourcing overseas. I need to determine how much cost I can shave off, reduce the retail price, and hopefully garner a larger amount of interest to get a good run size going. More to follow for sure!

Thanks, man. Appreciate the kind words :)
These are awesome, are you ever making any more of them?
Yes, once this GB is finished and I can garner some feedback from the community, I will work to conduct a larger scale second run.
By way of an update, I picked up the test sample from the bead blasting shop today, and happy to say that the cloudy finish looks great. The rest of the batch will be ready for pick-up in a weeks time, so I anticipate next weekend I will be busy wrapping up and preparing for shipping. More to come.

A few notes on the parts received:
1) Out of the 50 cases ordered, I have identified 10 that I find have unacceptable machining defects from the manufacturer. These include sizeable chips in the perimeter of the case, cracked bottom, and chipped internal partitions. I have a note out to the machine shop and will await their direction for either replacing or refunding these defective parts.
2) Of the 40 that are in good shape, I will begin shipping these out this week. I will go by invoice order for shipping.
3) If you are in the tail end of the invoices (40-50), we will have to sit tight and wait to hear back from the manufacturer.
4) There is some slight variation in the thread tolerances on the nylon thumb screws. If you receive a case with a tight thumb screw, it will loosen over time with a bit of use. Some of the later cases may ship with an alternative steel threaded bolt (plastic head).
I appreciate everyone's continued support. If you have any questions feel free to contact me directly on Discord or Slack. More to follow

Three quick updates:
1) The first 27 cases have been dropped off for shipping today :)
2) I plan on dropping off the next 14 cases on Thursday, some of these will have steel threaded thumb screws in place of the originally specced nylon screws.
3) The remaining 9 defective cases have been shipped back to the manufacture and awaiting their inspection and feedback. More to come.

Are our invoice numbers also our case number or did you assign slots based on something else like when the invoice was paid?
Invoice #36 aligns w case # 42, through invoice #45 aligning with # 50. This was done due to a few early supporters who bought more than one case.

The only thing I could think for improving the design for travel purposes would be to make the bottom be able to click some switches in then the artisans would be stuck in place vs free to bounce around the case if they're smaller artisans.. but this would mean a bigger case overall...

The shop is a little more backed up than they were earlier in the summer, they are quoting me ~2-weeks out before they'll be ready for pickup. If everything goes as planned I would like to have the final 7 shipped out by the end of week 7/30.
There may also be a few leftovers available (not many, like 5 or 6). After all of the GB cases have shipped I'll RNG off the remaining few in this thread.
Thanks all for your patience! GH

There is a possibility for an R2 in the future. Playing around with a few ideas including switching from acrylic to aluminum for the body, and magnets instead of screws. At some point, I'll post up a new IC thread.
