Edit November 8th,
Hi there!
Thank you for everyone's support. We already sent out all S46 GB orders, and most of them have received his kits, you can check more pictures from our discord S46 gallery. We want to share the extras for anyone who missed this GB.
Here is the Product Page (https://notfromsam.com/products/s46-custom-kit)
Update: May 15th
Thank you for everyone filling in our IC form regarding the bottom case, over 80% of people chose the PVD bottom case and only 50% for the anodized bottom case. We will still choose the PVD Bottom case as the default bottom case.
GB Time:
We still can't confirm when the PVD manufacturer is able to carry out normal production. Maybe we need to wait for the update until next month. Then we decide to start the GB during this period and place the order to them asap when they restart production.
GB Time: May 18th - June 1st
Shipping time: 3 Months (2 months production+1 month order processing)

Hi Everyone,
Thank you for following our product! We have received a lot of feedback this month.
Update
We still can't confirm when the PVD manufacturer is able to carry out normal production. We are considering if we can offer an anodized bottom case or a Brushed Stainless Steel bottom case. Please share with us your idea to fill in the IC Google Form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe6_1uEqbaAlXP8anLqTeWasoRuiH7j-gtkyrsSRGTI4F1w7w/viewform).

Where's the case color samples?

Interested

That price seems very optimistic, especially for what you plan to offer. If you truly can achieve that price, I might buy two just to help reach that MOQ. I love my MB-44, so getting a 13u version with a spicy bottom would definitely be nice.

Where's the case color samples?
We are informed that due to the city being blocked to fight COVID-19, the factory has to be closed and unable to carry out normal production, which will make a delay in the S46 prototype, and we are trying to find another way to make it happen.

Thank you.

Very clean design, I like it for a 40. GLWIC
-
Been looking for a while for an affordable little brick mostly to display and add to the collection since I can't live without a numrow, definitely interested!
Concerning the brass weight I have also had my eyes open for something I could eventually send in for a patina job and I believe at least a PVD coating would have the be removed to get that done. Not entirely sure what the requirements on the weight material are (and kneedeep's form is closed down atm so I can't check there), but if brass can be used for that I'd be down to grab an extra for that.

40s fans will love this. Pricing seems very cheap but if you actually manage to pull off under $200 you can count me in!

Thank u. Stay tuned.

OMG love this layout! Interested!

I want to like this, but please consider supporting more layouts. The right shift placement alone is pretty much killing it for me, and that's ignoring the opinionated bottom row - give us choices!
