#mntreform #statusupdate

Motherboard and Keyboard PCBs are finalized (PCB Versions 0.4). The first 3 boards that will be shipped to customers are assembled. Batteries, fans, screens, keyswitches, cables are stocked.

The case manufacturing involves experimentation and manual labor: most of the 8 case parts will be PU moulded using silicone moulds that we're creating from 3D printed and polished master parts. The moulding itself will take 3-6 weeks.

Our shipping target is August 15th, 2018.
