Hey Everyone! It's has been a crazy couple months so far. I have most the parts I need to make another case, this time with air cooling. At the current time sourcing for manufacturing has been a huge hurdle since the covid situation. Factories in China are becoming very picky. The quote I've received from the first factory is not accurate to an honest/realistic quotation. We will communicate with them about certain areas to improve manufacturing process. Will have to widen search for factory sourcing. It's really just the situation we are in right now. With so many companies on hold from the US right now some Chinese factories are having to close doors and others are only wanting business with very high MOQ numbers. This is still considered a niche product area, but we will get through this. I'm looking into doing local sourcing and maybe even a "made to order model." This could drive the cost of the product up a bit but could be better for the long term. What do you all think? How many of you would be willing to do "made to order" or pay a bit more for locally manufactured parts?
