I was talking to them on Facebook about some BB related stuff, but they suddenly went MIA. Doug hasn't posted here too for a while, atleast a week. Maybe that means they're hard at work making more, or they're all taking a nap lol.

They are probably trying to finish up the Dec 28 - Jan 4 pre-orders. I'm guessing we'll hear an update some time today.

im guessing they are setting up there new CNC's and working out the bugs that come with new ones,you have to run the spindle for a few days before you even attempt to try one,then usually at least one axis is off and you have to call and have someone come and fix it then if your lucky you can start to run it.

Ouch, sounds like a process. I haven't seen them post in this thread in a while though, maybe that means they got everything set up lol.

I don't think you need to monitor the spindle constantly though, or do you? I don't know much about CNC machines at all lol.

UPDATE: The Last Big Push.

Hey guys, just a quick report. I haven't had the time to read through the thread and I know my PM box is just about to pop, so I will have misses any questions fired at me, just remember, if there is anything you need from me asap just give me a call (support number on the site). We have been going non stop to finish up the oversold, I got S&P Monkey, Daywalker, Nightshift, and myself in today to get these all out tomorrow. So if your in the 28th to 4th pre order section you should see a tracking number today... most will ship Monday, worst case Tuesday. Not everything has been smooth in the shop lately but I am happy with what were putting out and that is kinda the most important thing..

Had one returned to me after the button failed a few days after it was used. With the numbers we are putting out, I anticipated this would happen at some time or another. The button and all the other electric guts are some fine components (heck the button itself is made in france), but still, we make the circuit board, not the components and occasionally, despite me testing each one, something may go wrong... but we sure as heck will fix it asap, and pay for shipping.

I'll be able to spend some time in here after these are all out in the wild, and address my PM box then too..
thanks everybody, call me if you need anything from me quickly (BB related, not USPS related, call our office number for that kinda stuffs)

~DD

i'm back to work, be back later this week with some time to type!!!

few more weeks until (um, can't name her till i get her) shows up, have a meeting on Wednesday with the rep about what needs to happen to get her running, she needs a new 50amp 220 single phase line put in and some other stuff set up before she is delivered. I'll be posting pics when she shows up for sure!!!
