4/4/2018 Progression updates:
A purchase order has been sent in for the gaskets. They're cheaper than I expected, so now I'll make $27 from each board instead of $11. Go me.
It turns out that my anodization contact has told me that their anodization shifts from metal to metal and batch to batch, so they won't be able to get me consistent color chips at all. Nevertheless, I have been assured that the quality is quite high and I will see for myself when I order the prototype.
Speaking of the prototype, I have quotes coming in this weekend and expect to place an order for the prototype after the prototype pcbs have been tested and confirmed working. The parts are on their way to be assembled and tested as of today.
Also, here's a handful of renders using
JTK Yolch and
JTK Red Riot, because I gotta cross-promote to hit MOQ these days.
