I just spoke with the fabricator. MakerSlide is going to be cut next<\/em> week. Their saw operator was off sick, and they didn’t want to have a less experienced person cut the MakerSlide, because it’s so easy to damage. That’s reasonable, but communication could have been better.<\/p>\n I will send another batch of invitation emails today or tomorrow. Orders will have a lead time of about three weeks. The current batch is almost exhausted: some orders will be fulfilled from the current batch, some from the next batch. Here’s what we still need for the next batch:<\/p>\n We’re good on all parts with long lead times, such as belt pulleys, V-wheels, leadscrews, bearings and so on.<\/p>\n The good news is that they’re on their way. The bad news is that the ship is scheduled to arrive on 4 March, not mid-February as I was led to believe, and it’ll probably take another week for the local shipping company to unpack the container, load our motors\u00a0on a truck, and deliver them to us.<\/p>\n I’m emailing the people who bought backordered NEMA 23 motors with the unpleasant news tonight.<\/p>\n I’m promised a quote tomorrow! I already have quotes for the dies, and I’ve settled on designs for both.<\/p>\n More on that soon.<\/p>\neShapeoko<\/h2>\n
