LMAO, this thread is 1.75 years old, and y'all STILL think this will ever happen.
I didn't start this damn thing. If I had, I would have had stuff lined up before it was ever posted.
There was no thought given to whether this was a practical design - just that it looked pretty.
Cost is prohibitive in the US unless done in quantity.
I worked with one person for over a year - he didn't answer for weeks at a time, changed factories and anodizers at least twice, tried to force me to use his PCB that was untested, and bumped the price so it would be prohibitive to sell.
I'm working with someone now who has a good price, has the cutout weight, the PCB is arranged, and we are negotiating the price.
If you don't want any part of this - please DON'T participate because I don't want your business. I'm not talking about all of you just ATXTider.
As for money - look who started this group buy and guess where all the deposits are? I haven't seen any of that money except for the first prototype.
Assuming I survive this - this should happen - hopefully shortly. If not - I'll close it down.
As for selling and buying spots - STOP IT! As long as the factory will produce them in large enough quantity you will have an opportunity to purchase a board. As for the numbers - I have no idea what I'm going to do about those - that was a terrible idea and for as many as were sold each would have to have it's own CAD file for it to be machined onto the weight.
This is the last update until after I recover from this next surgery.
