The laser-cut parts arrived last week. The laser-cut and machined spindle mounts (EM-LTM) have just arrived. I’ve checked them: they’re good. We have MakerSlide on hand for about a third of this batch, and Harry Raley has the rest. He’s going to ship it to us soon, I’ll cut it, and in the boxes it goes! Everything else is here, and we’ve been working to count and pack the little bits while waiting for the spindle mounts and rail.
I need to get more PCBs for the buildlog.net shield from Reactive Substance!
nice to read! do you think shipping for batch three orders next week is realistic? 🙂 I have semester break and want to build stuff with your great maschine. So still thanks for making this all happen for european people!
Right now, I think it is realistic, but then again, I’m ever the optimist! 🙂
by the way:
everytime i read the blog (almost everyday) i ask myself whos behind eshapeoko in the uk. Perhaps it would be interesseting for your customers if you introduce yourself and your motivation why you are doing this 🙂
Good idea. It would have been polite to start with an introduction on the blog. I actually did that with the eShapeOko kits — there’s a one-page letter in the box, along with the packing list and receipt.
I’ll write something here too, not today, but soon.
For those who do not have their eShapeOko yet, this is the letter that was included in the first batch:

I really liked to read that.
And jut to get an impression how much work it must be to assemble the kits:

Everything well packend and labeled.
