Weekly update 16

Hey everyone,

This is the 16th weekly update on the KNTRL9. Again, this time I will keep it short.

If you haven't done so yet already, please fill in my survey about Midique. I will use it to make plans for the future of Midique.

It will take less than 5 minutes of your time.

Panels

I am still negotiating on the new panels but the factory lead time is around 6 weeks. I obviously will need samples first to see if the result is satisfactory so the actual lead time will be longer. I am expecting to get a plan from the factory today and will update you next week on the planning.

Woodwork

The new wooden parts came in last week and this week I used the rare free slots for the CNC machine to mill them. All of the woodwork is now milled. Some parts still need to be glued, sanded and lacquered which I will do next week.

Soldering

The soldering is almost done. It was delayed because I was able to work on the woodwork which I prioritized over this. Anyway, I expect to finish the soldering today! After that, the boards still need to be cleaned at tested.

Packaging

The packaging has been made and is currently being printed. I expect them to ship next week.

That was it for this week! I will come up with the new planning next week. I was hoping to do that this week but the factory for the panels needed some more time to come up with the planning on their end due to public holidays.

Cheers,

Koen
