RE: Update...(Kind of)
According to Tommy over on Discord there is no word yet on when INDX will ship. Seems there was a last minute hardware change needed and it has to be retested. They have confirmed at least that the Founder's Edition will still ship before retail though. My guess is the day before...
RE: Update...(Kind of)
They keep throwing out the bait and they keep reeling us in.
Everyone thinking 'It's Bondtech, not Prusa, so delivery/shipping won't be as long winded shit show' boy were we wrong 😅
Wondering what the hardware is? Fence maybe?

They are not saying. They don't really need to say what it is specifically. It's irrelevant. I do have a problem though of having to piece all of this together by wading through different discord threads. They don't need to give dates, but at least some sort of update on a blog or email would be nice.

I don't think I was clear in what I was saying. It was more of a 'new product' we all jumped on with different expectations sort of thing.
What is irrelevant? The hardware? I'd say it was relevant if it's something that has caused more delay, no?
They gave dates, then moved dates then moved them again, not that bothered tbh. What I am bothered by, as you rightly say, is that there have been no updates via email etc. Don't care when it comes, just keep us in the loop please Bondtech.

I think it's more that if they were specific on what the issue is, people would obsess over it. Example, there was a problem with the tool dock. People would then be hyper-focused on it even after release.
RE: Update...(Kind of)
Ah, fair comment, that makes sense. Although, I'm sure we'll find out at some point, but I think you're right to say that revealing it now might have some folk focusing on it in a negative way.
I just wonder where, after all the back and forth, they found a problem? Be interesting if it was anything already mentioned or something new. Part of delivering a new product it seems.......🙄

I would say that even for "minor issues" that they are ensuring everything is tested before shipping is a good thing.
RE: Update...(Kind of)
Actually what we are all seeing with the Indx delivery 'schedule' is poor programme/project management and no doubt with a lot of pressure from marketing to ship something.
The end result of this is the product development plays out like a bad soap opera in full public view.
They keep throwing out the bait and they keep reeling us in.

Yeah, well -- but how about the fact that there still are new issues (which are substantial enough to delay shipping), after 2 years or so of development and testing? Is this process converging?

Before I picked up my second printer I cared. Now? Not so much. I am still bothered somewhat by the lack of transparency though.

I have to agree. I have always wished that PR would be more transparent. I would say that there are two companies involved, but Prusa has always kept info close to the vest.
