Another quick update
:
VioletI'm preparing
shipping of the batch 1 violet orders this weekend, here some pics of the parts:
It reasonably matches the desired color (Pantone 5115 C:
███), it's a bit brighter, but it has the right hue, containing more red than the first prototype, which went much more towards lavender:
I know it's a bit of a trope, but it really looks even better in person.
BlueSadly, the color matching for the blue parts didn't go quite as good. 3DHubs QC caught a significant difference before the parts even got to me.
Below is an image illustrating the mismatch.
It's a little brighter and more saturated than 533C should be, but most of all that shade of blue is just way off.
I know a lot of people ordered the blue BMEK together with Hammerhead (as I advertised it), and I felt it just wouldn't be a good fit, so I asked for the parts to be redone.
Obviously this will take some extra time (expect ~2-3 weeks), but I hope everybody understands why I made this choice instead of just keeping & shipping as is - even if you may have liked the blue as it came out first.
