So what? Where are "all parts"? Box made in USA + software written in a mother's garage will make it?
Nope. The FTC has a rather specific definition that must be adhered to in order to mark a product "Made in USA".

Also, you seem to be conflating the terms "chip" and "board". Unfortunately this is common on ECF among those who have never worked with electronics.

As I understand you, to be "made in USA" there should be a board, but a chip could be made anywhere?
Chip is much more important than a board.

P.S. there are too little that could be qualified as "made in the US" in electronics (we are not talking about defense, aren't we?)

This says nothing. {IMO} made means assembled. The 'parts' could very well come from China. All this tells me is they plan to make them better than the China made ones.

If I am not mistaken the chip sits on the board. @Rossum correct me if I'm wrong.

I suggest you do some research on what the FTC's requirements for "Made in USA" are.
You made me think.
Not good on Friday night. Bourbon etc.
But thank you anyway. I appreciate your suggestion. I really do not know what "made in the USA" means. It's time to learn. At least tomorrow it will be time to learn.
Thank you (and now I am dead serious: thank you).

OK. I have made an incredible effort (in spite of bourbon influence) and have learned that the main requirement of FTC is: Manufacturers and marketers should use the cost of goods sold or inventory costs of finished goods in their analysis. So, if the box made in the US is $20 and the chip made in China is $10, then the whole thing could be marketed as "Made in the USA". So, I was right from the beginning. It is the chip that make it work. Not box. Does "Made in the USA" make any sense in this case?

damn for something that is 3d printed and look so unfinished that is pricey. what is that 45$. I think I may pick up just one of their regular super ohm meters though. Id buy the 3d printed one if they at least sanded or made it look finished, just has so much of that ugly burling 3d printers make.

Rec'd my 3D printed Derringer Chuff caps today. The pink one snapped in 1/2 in under 5 min & if you look closely you can see the other one is breaking as well..... :nah:
Already contacted them--waiting to hear back.

Yeah, the Derringer caps are garbage. I purchased a silver one and also received a white one, gratis. I ordered without realizing these were printed based on a Derringer clone... fine, whatever. The diameter is okay but the AFC cutouts aren't even close. I'm pretty disappointed since everything I've purchased from USA Ohm Meters in the past has been top notch.
