Well, still no progress, there was a mistake in the file for the PCBs... probably another month until we get any news. As a reminder, the goal here is to ship to the early backers & to send units to reviewers to get publicity. The delivery to the other backers will wait until after that. For pre-orders, ...
So - basically - no progress since june on that front. One month of delay announced at each monthly update. Like taking a hike in the fog.
However, the team was already considering their next product : a shredder. And, they had the opportunity to go to more shows in the meantime.
How can they start a new product when the 1st one is a year late and counting ? How can they go to shows when they're already having funds concerns ? How can they spend time/funds/energy on those 2 when the basics are not covered : if you look at the previous message, they didn't notice a file error for 2 weeks for lack of communication with their provider !
Beats me. Combined with their lack of communication it's extremely irritatiing. They're part of the reason I'm off Kickstarter.

Another monthly update missed... a week ago.
Suggestion was raised that a minimum number of complaints are required for them to bother with an update.
So disappointing.

I can't believe it. Yesterday's update states :
- they have to force fit (hammer) some assemblies.
- the auger screws have to be re-lathed 1mm. How was the initial design tolerance set if you need to remove 1mm in a tube/rod assembly ??
- They have picked delays (again) because they noticed just now that each PCB is missing a couple mosfets. ... like "it's so small, we didn't notice". Really ?
... and that's the end for me of Kickstarter : they make it too easy for people with no engineering skills to present a couple of arranged photos and over-optimistic statements of "prototypes" that are "ready for manufacture".

This to me sounds like a bad choice of manufacturing partner but with some heavy lessons about the importance of oversight. This is obviously a painful lesson for them, and for you. The thing to cling to is that they are still trying to make a go of it and so it should not end the way of the Zano drone
