Any update on the new timeline? No rush or anything - just waned to give my F5 button a break
Hah. Hahaha. Hahahahaha
I'm going to need a lot of solder
Hah, I'm looking forward to seeing it,
@Damascus.
Alright, so here's the situation. I know this is pretty last minute (I wasn't expecting it either), but it's very likely we'll be going with a slots vent pattern for v2.
In short, some machining problems arose when punching out the holes for the current vent pattern, involving all the perforations deforming the entire sheet of steel out of dimension. So changing back to a slots vent pattern with fewer perforations will solve this issue.
Here's what it would look like.
It's not 100% identical to the original slots pattern I used on the prototype (slots are now longer and spaced a little closer together), so I thought you fans of the slot pattern would like to know.
Looking at you, @gunpalcyril
People who liked the hole pattern shouldn't worry though. It's possible we can offer side panels with the hole pattern as another option for the case. We just have to get those panels laser cut instead of punched.
Yep, that's all. Hopefully I'll hear something from Kahlin this week on the status of the cases. He told me that the internal parts of the case were close to being done. The only thing holding us up is this side panel issue. We're very, very close guys. Sorry about the delay.
