And anotha' one. First off, apologies for the delays in the last month on updates. I will try to tell the whole story for full transparency.
I submitted payment for the Prototype on Oct. 12, 2018. Back then the understanding was he needed to make some changes to his machine and pick up a few extra parts. No problem. Fast forward to 2019 - I launched the IC post as he was nearing completion of the modifications on the machine. I was asking weekly for updates, but consistently the proto was not completed. It seems his new job had eaten up too much of his spare time. This worried me, that if we did get the proto done and then got into GB phase, I would not be able to rely on timely completion of the final product for all of you to enjoy. In light of this, I should be receiving a refund for my prototype payment shortly - irregardless of this I have already begun working towards getting this manufactured elsewhere.
I have high hopes that this will actually open up the options and decrease the overall cost of the base kit. Good news all around. Bad news, it'll take a bit more time. Once I have a new manufacturer locked in, I'll post up the new options and final kit design based on feedback I've received thus-far and this should allow us to blast through prototype to GB phase. Hoping to have these in your hands before the summer meet ups! Thank you kindly for your patience. Stay tuned for a OG post update with updated info and perhaps a new input form. My ultimate goal here is to get you guys an awesome product that you will love to stare at for endless hours everyday, this is just a speedbump with more rainbows on the other side.
Your snaccboi,
BAS1C
