Hey guys, I received my shipment of Caldron enclosures today. They look perfect and were packed very well, for a change. So on schedule for release in May or maybe a little before.
Here's a sneak peek of the first unit I put together today.
All fits together as expected. The BB driver is the direct driver replacement. In fact, the BB driver is now the only driver assembly I'm making and fits the PSM as well.
Some recent purchasers will have likely noticed that I once again changed up the activation switch mechanism. This change is to address reports of the rubber protection tubing causing issues as well as the rhinestone becoming loose and getting lost.
So basically, it's now a 1/2 sphere pearl look rhinestone affixed by heat activated glue. Secondarily held in place with shrink tubing to keep from moving when hot. Ditched the tubing and went back to the orange o-rings, but this time, 3 rings stacked tight. They fit snug inside the glass tube and has a little clearance between the switch shaft. Now, if anyone does lose the stone, the o-rings will prevent the user from melting the top of the switch giving them a chance to fix before its toast. Since I introduced this a couple of months back, there have been no reports of problems in this area anymore.
And lastly, I am no longer using PP for payment but will be requesting E-Transfers instead. This is mainly because of giving PP close to a 5% cut doesn't feel right and doing this will help me in not raising prices due to the product costs increasing from buying China products. The component/parts pricing has gone up substantially over the last couple of years. I think that I've earned peoples confidence now anyways.
