Hum. They don't know.

Look out for news that the 1st batch has been delivered and the subsequent reviews by a few pro tech journalists (I don't know, maybe T Sanladerer ?). I think they might make it 3 to 4 months after that point IF they have the budget, which is part of the issue here.

Best case scenario, they're about 15 months late on their Kickstarter campaign. Worst..

Well, they completely blew the first batch delivery goal they had announced for july. They probably won't even make it for september now. They don't even keep the timeline they announced for updates on the topic. Don't expect much.

Well there's news. They lost 2 weeks since last time : didn't provide file to manufacturer and didn't talk to him in all that time so no opportunity to correct that ... in the end 0 progress because this was on their critical path.

DAMN

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.
