Next Big Deadline (january 15th)

[Calmatory]

the question is, does every possible function on the panda "click" when pressed?

I heard some "snap", "crackle" and "pop"!

Don't forget that they also *meow* and *purr*.

Today's January 15th.... Do you think we'll be getting an email?

 

[Phawx]

An email for what?

 

[zzaz3]

Them telling us that they are on schedule and giving us an update as to when they think they will ship it. It'll probably just be a blog update, but still. I really would like some feedback as to how its coming along and rather they got the parts in.

 

[Phawx]

Yea, they wouldn't email. They will probably post on the forums with an update.

But I would expect an update this weekend rather than today

 

[mazza558]

So, has everything gone to plan?

 

[Phawx]

edit: I'm an idiot.

It's the end of the day over there. So maybe this weekend

Yes it's complete. FDM will be here soon (and we will post photos of that with battery, keypad and all) then the CNC (takes longer).

Fingers crossed for a smooth process.

 

[Hotcooler]

YAY! How soon?

 

[Vorporeal]

Incredible. It's actually coming together.

SO EXCITED.

I can't wait to see a completed Pandora. andora1:

Yes it's complete. FDM will be here soon (and we will post photos of that with battery, keypad and all) then the CNC (takes longer).

Fingers crossed for a smooth process.

So is the CNC the final prototype case? Or the cases we will get?

 

[cosurgi]

excuse my question - but what means the "FDM" acronym?

 

[fretfrenzy182]

I was wondering the same thing as cosurgi

[jamaya15]

Yes finally we get our first glimpse soon. *drools*

So, this isn't going to be the final case, is it?

 

[Yigguth]

It is.

 

[j.pickens]

My guess is that this will be the proposed final case shape in FDM, then CNC.
What will determine if it becomes the truly final case shape will be if everything fits OK.
If it fits, the 3D design gets signed off on, and the final molds will be produced.
If it has problems, it will be back to the drawing board to make last tweaks to the shape.
