Just a quick update. Unfortunately in order to keep overall costs/kit down to a reasonable level I’ve decided to limit the color choices to black, silver and blue. The particular anodizing provider only offers those 3 colors as “standard”. Any other colors comes with a substantial price increase. All that being said, I don’t think there is much of a reason to do a group buy / pre-order sort of thing.
For anyone that is interested in black, silver or blue, you will be able to purchase those kits from my site in around a 1-2 months. I haven’t yet ordered the PCBs so I can’t give an exact price. But I can guarantee that it will be below $150/kit. Hopefully around $130.
Sorry if this is disappointing to anyone that was looking forward to other colors. I’m pretty disappointed myself. Any future projects I do (prime_O will be next) will be done differently to provide more color choices. -

Big update. I finally got my hands on the prototype. I’m extremely pleased with the way it came out. I hope you guys are as well.
Don’t worry. This is the prototype PCB. Those wires won’t be there in the production version ) Made an amateur mistake in the routing.
Where the case and brass come together around the USB port came out to fit really nicely
Machining marks left intact. I dig it.

Woodkeys_click made a great suggestion of making the
switch plate area extra thick for the additional weight.

To-Do:
- Add counter sunk holes in brass plate for aluminum feet
- Pricing
- Fix USB cutout in case. (too small)
- Find acceptable screws and adjust models accordingly (screws are hard )
- Work on PCB mount stabilizer cutouts on case.
- Prototype PCB
- Prototype Switch Plate
- Prototype aluminum case / brass back.
