Hello Kickstarter & Indiegogo Backer!
Happy New Year! Hoping 2023 has kicked off well and you’re all feeling well and rejuvenated after the holiday season.
Yes I know, I’m a little late with the New Year greetings. Truth be told, I’ve been waiting most of January for the factories in China to re-open. Chinese New Year fell early this year, a blessing in disguise really coinciding with the southern hemisphere Christmas holiday period. Usually, it falls around March and throws the world of production and logistics into a real spin as everything comes to a complete pause!
PRODUCTION UPDATE
Since the last update, we have run the necessary mold flow analysis and had it cross-checked multiple/quadruple times. We now have a clear path ahead and know how to tackle any potential air trap issues head on… fingers crossed it’s smooth sailing ahead. Now that the factories have reopened, testing is underway and will be completed within the next fortnight.
I can’t explain how much I have stressed to the team that these need to be the LAST ROUND of changes… I simply can’t face writing another Kickstarter update unless it has the good news that we all so desperately want!Thanks again for your patience and continued support.
NEXT STEPS
- End of February – all going well I will officially sign off the molds!
- The molds will then move to the production facility where they will initiate a small batch run, 100 units or so for QC purposes.
- Sign off the 100 units and production manufacturing will begin.
Yep I’m praying the YEAR OF THE RABBIT lives up to its name and we are full steam ahead.
Again I can’t express how thankful and grateful I am to you all for following the journey thus far. It’s been a ride but will all be worth it in the end.
