Batch 3 is on schedule for Feb 15 ship date! Building 40 sets this time, which leaves 10 sets worth of parts left in Batch 4 to experiment with different designs or for custom orders (harnesses, DRLs, etc).

Some fun stats about 40 sets of SKBOWE (80 units):
- 320 wires cut, 640 stripped, 400 soldered
- 400 capacitors + 240 diodes + 80 resistors = 1440 leads soldered
- 80 heatsinks cut and bent, 80 enclosures notched, 80 covers taped

After stuffing the enclosures (heat wire, form wires, tape wires, then test-fit heatsink and insulator), it’s time to mix up some potting compound.

Then each one gets a thin layer of compound, board goes back in, another layer of compound, cover gets glued and goes on, then the whole thing gets wrapped with electrical tape to compress it. Once all of them are done, into the oven for 2 hours at 165F.

I ran out of ABS cement (more on order) so for now there are 11 (so the 9 pre-orders will go out on time).
Stay tuned for more updates!
