here the answers of the Q&A
-Custom res is something we will have a closer look at after shipments have started, we have asked faggan to do a mad manifold-type-solution but honestly we have not had time to look at it.
-dust filters are have not been finalized yet
-we will need your updated address within the 10 coming days not to affect delivery time. If addresses do change after the end of August we will find a solution but it might be that the case has been shipped to the wrong continent and will take alot of time to find it's way home.
-2:nd batch is planned to start soon, we will need to await the initial feedback and make sure there are no major changes needed before we push the button. But we have perfected the case for so long now I'd be very surprised if any major changes will find their way in.
-This project is continuously evolving, directions change and opportunities arise along the way. It is hard to say where we will end up but the ambition is definitely to keep on pushing the expectations and over time be less dependent of crowd funding.
-US shipments will be shipped to a distribution center in the US, the same way EU orders are handled. The time line will be affected in the same way
-VAT should not be an issue for EU or US backers, meaning it should not affect you
-IO-tophats is another project that has been put on the back burner to free up more time and resources to focus on the fulfillment of the case itself. With things taking longer than anticipated the financial strain is increased and we need to be very careful with how we spend our (your) money.
-currently we 2,5 FTEs working directly for LOUQE + suppliers, no one is taking any salary (if that's what you were asking)
-Yes, the rest is done. Riser, PCB, power cord etc
