Ted — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 20:12:18 +0000

We’ve confirmed our case product in production. For anyone waiting on these cases, we’ll have them ready to ship in two weeks.

Finally, we will order the rest of the eightCubed parts. Hang in there all you faithful subscribers, More news next week! And many thanks for sticking around.

Same old song.. latest casing prototype is approved!

It’s finally been perfected. Thirteen months in development and we’re off to production! The lack of activity here is our fault (duh..) but we are working hard behind the scenes. Look for another update in a couple days.

Thank you to the many viewers who messaged us! We’re doing this project for you and really appreciate your loyalty.

eightCubed ordering status and advice

Ted — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 05:43:07 +0000

Some folks have contacted us about how to order an eightCubed – the simple answer is you can’t yet. We’ve sold out of eightCubed v2.3 kits. But, v2.4 is just about in production! With the finalisation of our casing design and new Delcon controllers on their way, we’re anticipating the next kits available just after the New Year.

When the time does come to order an eightCubed kit, they will be available in our store. A casing is necessary to assemble an eightCubed – some people prefer to make their own casing. We completely support that and encourage makers to customise our products. However, for those that do not want to build their own casing, our case product will be available as a separate item in our store. These two products together will let anyone create a fully-functional LED cube with all the trimmings.

In addition to separating the casing and cube kits, we will offer the Delcon controllers and lattice materials as separate products. Again, we are doing this to support the people who wish to customise their cube.

You’ll see a clear path for ordering the necessary items in our store when the cubes are in stock.

Bob-clock kits available next week

Ted — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 18:52:29 +0000

We had a small snag about which processor to use. This means that I ordered the wrong part number and had to get replacements. You may proceed with the blame emails..

The good news is the Bob-clocks will be available next Monday! An with the kits, a smoke-colored slip-fit face plate will also be available to order as an option.

We’ll message the Bob-clock mailing list when these are in the store, promise.

Bob-clock boards arrived!

Ted — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 18:12:18 +0000

We have 10 production boards for the Bob-clock. We’re waiting on a parts shipment to arrive beginning of next week. After that delivery, we’ll take a dayish for inventory, then the kits will be ready to ship!

I’ll message the Bob-clock’s mailing list when the kits are ready next week.

The kits won’t contain a face plate, like you see in some of the images. Though its processor will be pre-programmed processor. We’ll want your feedback about the faceplates we should offer – there’s a few options with varying price and complexity.

Base plates to be shipped this week

Ted — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 19:32:19 +0000

With any luck, the base plates, for a partial kit fulfillment, will be shipped this week! This means we’ll have them beginning of next week, test their fit with the case design, then start packing the partial kits!

Keep in mind, the partial kits do not come with a complete case – all other materials for the eightCubed are included. This means, when building a partial kit, there will not be a location to mount the user interface or LCD. Users are welcome to use the partial kit’s base plate, building around it, to create a mount for those two items. Be creative!

Nexthe plates are tested!

eightCubed base plates, releasing a full kit with a partial case

Ted — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 00:34:55 +0000

We know there are so many people awaiting the eightCubed release – we are too! We appreciate the many interest emails received, please know we’re doing our best to complete the kits!

To build an eightCubed lattice, you need a base plate – some piece of material to support the vertical ties and entire lattice structure. Also, to install wiring below the lattice, it’s best to thread the ribbon cables through the base case and base plate in one assembly. These two reasons are why we have been holding the release for so long – neither the base plate or base case is ready!

While the base cases take 3+ weeks to produce, the base plates can take as little as a day. We’ve decided to focus on having the base plates produced, so our customers can receive a kit with a partial case (base plate only).

More soon!
