Not much to say right now unfortunately. I think we'll have one or two more pics next week but that will be it until we're ready to show off the new design.

Apologies, we've had a lot going on this past week! However, I think I can share a few more photos...

Here, we have some prototype parts on racks, already powder coated, and ready to go into the kiln.



And here you have the controls for the kiln. The top modules control temperature, which is held very steady as the paint is cured. Note that the powder coatings themselves are dry as they enter the oven, and dry as they come out, however - the temperature is what causes it (the powder) to chemically react, and bind temporarily, creating the coating.

Haha, sorry to be such a tease. We timed things poorly and ran out of pics before we're ready to show off the case, so you'll have to hang tight and wait a bit longer while we finalize a few things :)



This is just too perfect :p

We're going with a fine textured powder coat. It looks and feels very nice.

Hngggg that black, beautiful, cant wait....

It looks really, really good in person. The matte texture looks and feels fantastic, and it has just the right amount of sheen (barely there, but enough so as to add depth to the color).

We went all the way with materials and coatings, and it shows.
