Hello again!

It's been quiet here, but not slow! I've invested profits from the first Lixie batch into my own laser cutter, nearly finished the assembly processes for a new batch of 60 units, and have heard great news from the users in the first batch!

Laser Cutter

Yes, I could have gone for a 40 or 50-watt Chinese CO2 laser. But I'm in an apartment, with understandably strict lease terms about heavy tools and toxic fumes. So I took the safe route for now and picked up a 4-watt diode cutter. It works for the birch and black acrylic, but isn't strong enough to work with the clear acrylic digits of the Lixies. I live in Utah, so I'll probably re-purpose it to cutting fancy parchment to make me rich in the rushed-marriage capitol of the world. ;)

Rolling Order

Since it's kind of a pain in the ass to wait a month or two between batch releases, Lixie production will be converted to a "rolling order" system. With some properly timed shipping, I can begin releasing 40 Lixies to the wild, every week. The demand is definitely there, considering both the launch and current waiting list have had over 600 units in each!
