New host design feeler: GE-X1

Are we at 10 people already ? I only see a few members committed to buy the host.
 





Well I meant 10 people expressing interest, not committing to buy.

Good enough for me. :D
 
I'll commit right here. 1 for definite, 2nd maybe on the cards.
 
Yes, I also definitely want one. Just to get the project started. :)
 
You're awesome, guys! Thanks!

I'll keep you all posted on the progress.

First thing on to do list: Get tap/die set, get 40mm bar stock (host is 39mm wide).
 
/me thinks.. need to start looking for a better job ASAP... need more money...
 
Please please please consider making these either direct press or screw the diode in, set screws on aixiz modules are ugly and destroy your thermal conductivity :)

Acknowledged.

Comissioning task to current "To do" stack.

Calculating...

High probability of task being completed within upcoming "weekend" period.
 
How is the unlimited duty cycle testing going? I certainly would take one. I know this thread is a couple months old but have you sold them all already?
 
Hah, didn't even start making them already.

Basically these extra large threads needs some especially expensive tap and die sets.

I figured I'd maybe able to spare $100 for that but, you know. Life.

Don't worry I haven't forgotten about it. It's just that I do not see any way of obtaining the needed funds. Or if anybody's got any idea of obtaining these parts much cheaper:
New 35mm 35 x 1 HSS Metric Right Hand Tap M35 x 1 0 Pitch | eBay

New 35mm 35 x 1 0 Metric Right Hand Die M35 x 1 Pitch | eBay

Those are needed for those bigass threads in the host and all.

So basically you are stopped because of funds to buy the needed tools. What if all of us that want one or more of these things put a down payment and you could use those funds to build the first couple for testing? If it didn't work out, then well we are probably our out down payment, but I doubt that will happen. If all of us put down $15.00 towards our purchase up front that should give you more than these cost. What do you think?

Also exeptionally tricky, because of the way Paypal works over here.

See, if you were to make a payment to me today, and it's 17th here now, I would have to wait 30 days until those funds clear from "Pending" to "Available". Contrary to it's name, they are actually not yet available, and I need to wait until 1st day of next month, which would in our example be 13 more days, until those funds finally cleared and settled on my account. Only THEN I can use them.

So even if you all together made a group payment today to cover the costs of tools, we'd still wait a month and a half, by which time I might've accumulated the funds myself. If I deposit munies to my account personally in the bank I can use them in the same day with Paypal.

Yeah I know. It's retarded, I sent emails to Paypal asking when was this retarded "Pending" crap gonna be removed, because it says it will after I've proven to be an actual seller (it's been what, two and some years now), I got no replies and all complaints fell on deaf ears. Sucks, huh?
