Re: TOHKBD rev2
 
That was a great update! :)

Now I think most people are eagerly waiting for some news on how many backers would be needed to start considering injection molding (as this would surely be what would result in the biggest leap forward in terms of finish) and, if so, if that would allow even thinner design (by reducing wall thickness) or if the limits are the same.

Why do you ask a question? To know the answer, of course! Well, I'm not the one who asked, but I guess the asker was hoping Dirk has some inside information. But I guess we'll just have to deal with the uncertainty :)

if Dirk has insider info he wouldnt be able to comment because he would be under an NDA

way over 1000. I would love to have a desktop injection molder here and make parts with epoxy molds! But I do not have one, nor the experience, nor the money. And even if I had, I cannot guarantee the resulting part has the required quality and strength.

With the current way we get -in my opinion- a very nice part with -in my opinion- a nice subtle grainy finish, that can be reordered in the future by me or anyone else (#opensource) in case of damage or if someone want another colour.

Just as an outsider (don't have a Jolla and hence sadly not a backer) have you asked for a quote from protomold? They advertise being able to mold even "small" batches.

I'm in no way affiliated with them, just curious.

I am in for a TOHKBD, too. Like this project very much.

We are now at 99809 EUR !
Only two more kbd-backers needed to get to 100k...

So Dirk would reveal very, very unpredictable information (because the JP2 is far from being finished, so who knows what might change with what they know now!) and thus being known as a 'leak' which would hurt his and Jolla's reputation? Yeah, sure, that'll happen. In a parallel universe, perhaps.

Jolla TOHKBD #765 for Father's Day (in Finland) present - over 100k€ Kickstarter funding reached - 25 Days to go. Backer #764 had the honor to break the 100k goal. Will still get some TOHKBDs soon.
