Title: [GB] Ouroboros
Post by: Bachoo on Sat, 08 July 2023, 18:35:15

Original Post has been moved to the post below to prioritize updates


Updates will be in a MM/DD/YEAR format:

08/05/2023 -- Project has closed out. It was a really rough one -- so little people bought the board that this is basically a private run lmao. Because of my manu being so kind and striking a deal with us for this GB, as well as I told Mekibo to remove my cut from the project to buy out the rest of the boards. THEY WILL BE MADE. There will not be many if any extras so this board is pretty limited. On the bright side, since there as so little units there qc and speed of the group buy should be quicker than expected.
09/01/2023 -- TOP & BOT pieces are done machining, weights are under CNC now. (Zoomin')
10/05/2023 -- Boards are currently being ano'd :3
11/08/2023 -- All board are finished completely and first pass-through of QC from manu went by smoothly, they should be on route to mekibo, might start shipping out very soon™️
12/07/2023 -- All board on route to mekibo. :3
01/01/2024 -- Boards are still on route to mekibo.
02/03/2024 -- Boards should be shipping out to customers this month.
03/2024 -- GB Concluded.

Ouroboros
