Don't worry everyone, it won't be long now!

First reserved batch of 10 going out next week then I'll have a batch of 100 out on tindie very shortly after that, possibly even a week after if the early adopters have good feedback by then. There won't be any reservations for those, I'll be posting the link here instead. If that batch sells out quick I'll try and do backorders to get an idea of how many I need to make. If I need to, I can scale production up quite a bit pretty quickly so there won't be any three months delays or anything like there was with SX Pro. The boards have been designed with PCBA services and common parts in mind (except the USB port and supercap which I can get in large volume quickly but need to solder myself). I really doubt I'll be making 1000 of these but if you all prove me wrong, I'll be able to get it done. :P

Thank you for all the amazing support!

i hope tindie allow shipping to germany for decent shipping price.
all countries that are not Europe we have to pay custom fees in germany from a value of over 26euro including shipping costs we need to pay 19% vat !

let's assume the dragon injector costs 23 euros and shipping 5 euros then the package will land at customs and we have to pay extra 5,32 €. for 1 dragon injector we have to pay total price of
33.32 euros = 49,67CAD to get it to germany!

@MatinatorX I definitely gonna be inn for buying this because I tried to open my switch and I stripped the last screw before getting the back plate off :( So installing an internal one will be difficult.

But are you able to share the STL in advanced so I can see if I am able to print it on my FDM printer? I understand you had problems with that.
And will there be an option for the board only? I couldn't get all the parts for cheaper than you hehe.

For a stripped screw, I've carefully drilled them out before. All you do is carefully drill with a bit that is a size bias the shaft of the screw. Drill until the head pops, it'll usually stay on the bit once it pops. Then once you get the back plate off there will be enough for you to use a pair of pliers and unscrew the shaft.

Or you can get a screw extractor kit, it has a bit that you drill into the screw and it catches it a certain way which allows you to then put the drill in reverse and back out the screw.

Declare total value at 5...cough..

I'll see what I can do after some research. :P

Of course! All source files will be made public as soon as the prototype is built. This includes the 3D models, schematic, gerbers, code and BOM.

Sure! Hit me up with a PM and we'll work something out. I'd be interested to see if they print well since my FDM is still waiting for my new rigid couplers to arrive.

There will definitely be an option for the board only. I'm going to try and put 50 of them alongside the 100 full assemblies once they're ready for tindie.

If you're good with a dremel, you can also score a slot in the head and get a good flathead in there. This is my preferred method for tiny screws in electronics with soft metals.

Any chance at all you could print the plastic in dark yellow? Waste of plastic maybe? I'd love mine a slightly dark yellow color. If not - doesn't matter.

Custom colors won't be a thing for the tester batch or the first public batch of 100 unfortunately.

Once I get my hands on an SLA printer of my own, there are a few color choices I can print in. I'd need to do them in batches of 20 though to justify the cost, since bottles of resin are expensive and it's a pain to swap them out and clean everything and you end up losing some in the process.

I've attached some pictures of the colors available and what they look like once printed.

However, it seems pretty clear to me that "marmoon" is the best color and everything should be printed with it going forward. :rofl:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I went today and looked at a motorcycle someone was selling. I get there and the battery on it was dead, so the guy grabbed a battery charger and hooked it up. He plugged it into the wall, and the motorcycle sparked and started smoking. Come to find out the bike uses a 6 volt battery and the guy had the charger set to 12v. I said sorry to the dude and walked away. I felt bad for him tho.
