Hey everyone,
Mandz and I are now done with most of the testing for the Scarab prototype 1. However, the manufacturer made a mistake during the production of the prototype. The Scarab has 2 "posts" in the middle area of the case that require a custom design screw. Although we provided the file for the custom screw, the manufacturer unfortunately did not produce these screws for us and simply threaded the screw holes like the rest of the case. It's near impossible to screw down the PCB in those 2 areas without wanting to punch a hole in the wall, even with a magnetic screw/screw driver. Although it still works, it's not ideal.
Nonetheless, in light of this, Mandz and I have been discussing this with each other and are deciding if we want to move forward with this universal design or if we want to explore the possibility of an O-ring mount with perhaps a custom Scarab PCB/plate option instead. We're weighing both options and taking into consideration feedback, timeline, costs, manufacturing, logistics, etc.
We will keep you updated as decisions are made and things move forward.
