Purple also combines neat with the metal in this pic

Haha yes I was deciding between those two! Thought I would go purple, and then went for blue... It seems like the metal ring that surrounds it on both sides, is actually heat treated metal, so it has different hues for each example, sometimes contrasting and sometimes blending with the color choice... I felt like blue was the best bet for looking good with that too, but I agree the purple looks really fantastic with it, as does the teal!

Yeah upon closer look I might go with the green or teal, better with that colored ring than the pink which might turn out nice but might be off. But before all that raw machined inside is a must for me.
Also @MCH preferably the holes in the grinder plate are angled so that they become sharp and the cutting helps the ground herb fall into the compartment as soon as the particles have the right size, making an even grind.

The only variant of Blue was blue no other choices for teal or aquamarine.
Hey guys, I received the bearings today. The bearings are "lickety Splits" from https://betterbearings.com.au/ an Australian company.
I will add the colour "Teal" as Better Bearings have called it.
If you selected blue and would like the teal (or anyother colour) could you please reply to your order confirmation email and ill add the note to your order and get it fixed up.
Sorry about this and thankyou all!!
EDIT: I have also just added a photo of all the bearings to the pre order page.

I'd like to offer raw machined. I like the shiny smooth machined finish but if you guys want a bead blasted one i can certainly make that happen for you!

I just noticed in the video in op there's also this plans for a vape being mentioned!!!
It also has some nice shots of the colors with the rings. I hope my teal one will have a purple ring because the contrast looks awesome.

Did you read this thread? There was a video of the three-piece grinding that was shared, at least that's what I watched here previously...
Ah yeah IDB mentioned that to me too, glad MCH is part of the community here now for the future!

Yeah exactly, they are rainbow rings, so some can be more green, I also really hope I get one that has more purple rings to go around my light blue like this photo

Oh yeah, I did see that video... The grinding part showed up a bit of the way in. Rewatching it reminded me why I suggested some type of grip attachment on the bearing side lid. It didn't look particularly easy to turn, at least compared to the BCG.

I don't know it looked pretty great to me

The top piece is faceted on the sides rather than smooth and round like the BCG. I would think those flat sides would make it easier to maintain grip and rotate in general.
Maybe we watched a different video but I thought it spun freely on the bearing like a fidget spinner.

Really? Looks difficult to grip the hexagon shaped lid due to how thin it is. He seemed to fumble a bit until it was fully ground and it spun freely.
That said, I will be stoked to find out I'm 100% wrong! Looking forward to early adopters providing feedback indicating that I'm way off the mark.

I feel like the extra chamber in the 3 piece will help with gripping the bottom without interfering with the other hand rotating the top piece. That two piece is just thinner and likely trickier with big mitts.

Okay I see what you mean now, I suppose that hexagon part could be a tiny bit larger longer with more grip, but that would also make the grinder larger heavier more expensive? And yeah I'm not sure if it's necessary, when you have a three-piece, and you can use fingertips to grip the hexagon shape, I feel like you should also be able to grip it well with your palm, and or fingers around the outer lid, like a BCG? TBD!

Feel like I’m winnin’ when I’m losin’ again
Anyone else peep that wavy bottom piece in the 3pc vid? You said you'll have that smoothed out in the production runs but i honestly kinda dig it...
Agreed, I love all the tooling marks!

Glad i'm not the only one, not sure if everyone else feels the same way of course.
Looks pretty cool compared to the flat bottoms of other grinders, less machining/processing required too and seems like the grooves would be nice to rest your pinky and ring fingers on for a bit of grip.

Shipping is very decent. I am in. But looks like almost too fine of a grind? Will there be various grinds available?

I actually like the look of the grind as is, to be a bit more consistent medium fine, I would use something else for more coarse or rather just grind less and empty out
