Sebastian, many thanks for video.... very interesting. They've packed a lot of stuff in such a small package. Keep us posted.

Awesome, its really cool to see this out in the wild,

Fantastic video Sebastian but you have set the bar very high for future postings

Wow, tiny package! That's great, should save a bit on shipping.

[nka]

I'm building it right now. Trying to improve the instructions/procedure at the same time.

Kaleb is preparing an update. You'll see more of the new features.

They're serious about their flat-packing. It looks like that will assemble into a rather large box compared to the little metal bit in the Kickstarter video. I guess I never really got a sense of scale for the prototype Peachies in their KS updates. When you say you're improving on the instructions, how bad was it out of the bag?

Also, I notice that they sent the calibration pattern in the package rather than expecting the testers to print it themselves. Very smart as you can never really be sure how well the end-user's ink printer will be calibrated to begin with.

The laser, circuit, and mirrors all fit in about a 4" x 4" cube. The plastic parts it hangs from makes the unit larger, but not much. The other parts are just an optional (but very handy) box. Really, the unit isn't much larger than the KS showed.

I have a video of my beta kit that I will share as soon as I am able.

The instructions are great! But they are in a funny format. It has been fixed, it just needs some tidying up. Some beta folks may have trouble with the wording or something, but everything has been clear to me, so far.

There already have many impovement to the instruction and the casing. It will be amazing !

Anuvin, you can post the calibration video you did. (Mine isnt working, so I can't).

[Feign]

Well, I don't know if these are Anuvin's videos on Youtube, but I just found this one detailing the entire hardware assembly process: (Edit - I am sorry guys, but I promised I wouldn't show the build video before the next update. I talked to the team, and they are allowing me to post it here, but let's keep it under our hats and not ruin the next update for backers who don't read this forum, okay? Try not to pass the link around until the next update is live! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raQVhX4TtRo --Anuvin)
And this one showing a calibration test: http://youtu.be/9mu7yhVVaOM

I really am impressed with the amount of design work that has gone into this already at the beta stage. The assembly taking only a little over a half an hour, even with pauses to explain each step is really a feat or engineering, considering the package is practically just raw materials.
