We are working with various manufacturers to figure out a way to keep costs reasonable. That is where we're at right now. I feel like we're close with a few of the vendors; so hopefully, we'll have the first article in 3 or so months for testing.
Busy is an understatement Thanks, Eric |

We do not have anything to share right now. We didn't have prototypes when we started the thread, which is a good thing as we ended up switching mindsets after hearing what the community was after. We'll share more when we have more to share, I promise. These things do not just happen overnight, though, or even in a few months. A lot of work, time, and effort goes into such a product. Thanks, Eric |

No, there is nothing new at this time. I will update the thread when something does come to physical fruition.
What we're looking at right now is a prototype around the end of May, hopefully. *IF* that works out well, we'd probably be able to do a production run by the end of July/August. This is a product/project we're not rushing, so if you're looking for something sooner than August, I would recommend going to another vendor's wing for the time being. Thanks, Eric |

Yes we ordered the tooling for the prototype. It is still going to be a while out as we will have lots of testing to do even after prototypes arrive.

Exciting update!
This is a photo of the plug (CNC machined from our geometry, the white piece) and the top half of the mold (blue piece). Thanks, Eric Last edited by VerusEric; 08-06-2017 at 08:42 PM. Reason: Photo Hosting Issues with Photobucket |

Very little that existed on the internet decades ago still exists today. I was writing websites on the internet 20 years ago (decades)... Photobucket definitely did not exist. In fact it hasn't been a thing for even 15 years. Sorry to be pedantic, but the internet (as you know it) hasn't even been a thing for 3 decades, and as someone that has been on the internet since 1991... I get itchy about these types of generalizations. And again, you're complaining that a thing that was free stopped being free? What did they owe you again? What was their motivation for continuing to provide you said free service? Can you tell I still write websites for a living You have a website... upload your photos there and then point your URLs to that. Then you don't have to worry about this ever again |
