Genisis / Kronos Update

[johnpencraig]

As it seems we're not allowed to discuss the LV / Kronos Co-op itself here, I thought I'd remind people about the German forum that is hosting the project- http://www.e-rauchen-forum.de.
Tai Pan has an update thread for the various projects, which is called (in english) Water Levels. It's found in the 'We Build Together II' section of the Craft Board. I think you may have to register to access it, and I found Google toolbar auto-translate very useful in doing that.
The Water Level thread doesn't get any more updates than we had, but there is a new posting today :

Genisis When we had the tremendous quality problems. The manufacturer had repeatedly delivered parts that did not meet our quality standards. He had to make new and the parts came in last December. Unfortunately, our mechanic, it just makes one sick and could not do anything. Now he is fit again and mounted. Since this is a large quantity, it will take until the end of January, until all are delivered Genisis. Kronos Box This box was a complete rewrite. We have the boards ready and the material with me. Unfortunately, the prototype in our eyes scrap. We have decided to change the vendor and make the box in the die casting process. This requires only a tool to be made. I get the drawings for it today. The box Kronos will therefore not be ready before the end of February / March. I put some photos in the coming days to the Board. orders Genisis and Box Kronos Who ordered only Genisis gets it until late January at the latest. Who ordered Genisis and Kronos receives a partial delivery of Genisis with the material ordered and later the box. Who in Kronos would get to do that. The money will be refunded. shop project I can see no more Kantahl and no fiber. We expected not to some extent with this flood of orders. In this area we have done enough and we believe will liberate us from this burden. So I'll close the shop by my side in January. successors sought Maybe there is a Fori, who takes over the shop. If you are interested please contact me. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Greeting Uwe anything please post here! Overview is everything!

I hope Uwe does not mind. I have translated the posting as shown on the German site.
If I have done it wrong please feel free to correct me.



RE: Wir bauen gemeinsam II - Wasserstandsmeldungen
Hier bitte nichts posten!! Übersicht ist alles!

We Build Together II - Current Situation

Hier die letzten Wasserstandsmeldungen für dieses Jahr.

Projekt DigiSens
Wir sind in der Auslieferung. Alle Probleme sind behoben und es geht ums Bauen. Das ist sehr viel komplizierter als geplant. Ich hoffe im Januar alles raus zu haben. Bei allen Beteiligten bedanke ich mich für die Engelsgeduld. Wir sind wohl alle froh wenn dieses Projekt zu einem Ende kommt.

Projest Design:
We are in the Delivery phase. All Problems are solved and we turned to the building phase.
That turned out more complicated as planned. I hope to have everything shipped by the end of January. I would like to thank everyone for their patience. We all will be glad when this project is completed.

Genisis
Bei dem Genisis hatten wir gewaltige Qualitätsprobleme. Der Hersteller hatte mehrmals Teile geliefert, die unseren Qualitätsansprüchen nicht genügten. Er musste neu machen und die letzten Teile kamen im Dezember. Leider war unser Monteur, es macht nur Einer, krank und konnte nichts machen. Jetzt ist er wieder fit und montiert. Da es sich hier um eine große Stückzahl handelt, wird es bis Ende Januar dauern, bis alle Genisis ausgeliefert sind.

Genesis:
We had significant quality problems with the Genisis. The manufacturer had delivered parts multiple times, which were not up to par with our quality standards. The manufacturer had to redo the parts and the last parts were delivered in December. We only have one person assembling the parts; and unfortunately he got sick and could not assemble anything. Now, he is healthy again and is continuing the assemble process. It will take until the end of January until all the Genisis have shipped due to the large amount of orders that require assembly.

Box Kronos
Diese Box war eine komplette Neuentwicklung. Wir haben die Platinen fertig und das Material ist bei mir. Leider waren die Prototypen in unseren Augen Schrott. Wir haben uns entschlossen den Hersteller zu wechseln und die Box im Druckgussverfahren herzustellen. Dazu muss erst ein Werkzeug gemacht werden. Die Zeichnungen dazu bekomme ich heute.

Box Kronos
This box was completely new developed. The boards are ready and I have the parts. Unfortunately, the prototypes didn’t turn out great at all. We decided to change the manufacturer and to manufacture the box via pressure casting process. To do so we need to build another tool; and I will receive the drawings for it today.

Die Box Kronos wird daher nicht vor Ende Februar/März fertig sein. Ich stelle mal Fotos in den nächsten Tagen ins Board.

Thus, the Box Kronos will not be ready until February/March. I am going to upload some pictures of it in the next few days (referring to the German site).

Aufträge Genisis und Box Kronos
Wer nur Genisis bestellt hat bekommt diese bis Ende Januar spätestens.
Wer Genisis und Kronos bestellt hat bekommt eine Teillieferung des Genisis mit dem bestellten Material und später die Box.
Wer bei der Kronos aussteigen möchte kann das tun. Der Betrag wird dann erstattet.

Orders for Genisis and Box Kronos
Those who have ordered the Genisis only will receive it the latest by the end of January. Those who have ordered both the Genisis and Box Kronos will receive two deliveries, one with the Genisis with the ordered parts, and one later with the Box Kronos.
Those who wish to cancel the Kronos may do so and they will receive a refund.

Projekt Shop
Ich kann kein Kantahl und keine Glasfaser mehr sehen. Wir haben nicht ansatzweise mit dieser Flut an Bestellungen gerechnet. In diesem Bereich haben wir unserer Meinung nach genug getan und werden uns von dieser Last befreien. Daher werde ich den Shop von meiner Seite im Januar schließen.

Project Shop
(In a joking way) I have about enough of Kantahl and Fiberglass.
(Continuing in a serious way) We did not at least expect this high volume of orders for these two items. We think we have done enough in this area to satisfy all needs. Therefore I will close the shop on my part in January.

Nachfolger gesucht
Vielleicht findet sich ein Fori, der den Shop übernimmt. Wer Interesse hat melde sich bitte bei mir.

Successor wanted
Perhaps there is a Forum member (referring to the German forum) who would like to take over the Shop. Please contact me if interested.

Wir wünschen Euch allen ein frohes Fest und einen guten Rutsch in neue Jahr.

We wish you all Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.

Gruß

Uwe

Regards,
Uwe

Please no postings here!! Overview is everything! (German saying)

The updated news should ease a few minds...think the big stink was that the pics for the Kronos that were promised a few weeks ago did not materialize and no responses were given why...the new pressure casting process appears to be the reason. OK I'll buy that and am still gonna hold on to my order.

Uwe, hope all is well and appreciate the efforts but in toward this project....even though things are not quit on schedule there are still folks here willing to wait and trust you will pull through in the end.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I know my 2 units of Genisis LV plus accessories are on their way to me. I will gladly wait for my Kronos. With Raidy's programming, this Kronos will surely be a collector's item.
