In the most recent email >1 week ago it sounded like there was a heat creep issue they were trying to resolve. Nothing beyond that though

I highly doubt a heat creep issue at this late in the game is going to be an “easy fix”. 

RE: Update...(Kind of)

I guess you are the expert.  Every time I get it in my commercial set up, it is easy to fix.  Usually has do with an error on my part or a faulty part.  A simple redesign of the heat break will fix it.

I am far from an expert. It's just my opinion. However, I'm not sure how you can extrapolate your experience onto something you haven't seen and that hasn't been released yet. 

A simple redesign of the heat break on 6000+ nozzles assemblies (assuming that's what it is and on 1200 founder's kits with a mix of 4 or 8 tool setups)??

In my experience, usually it has to do with the distance between the heat block and the heat sink (cooling).  To be honest, I do not know the exact engineering behind this unit.  On one printer in the past, I reduced the cooling by over “insulating” the heat break.  I am 100% certain they will fix it relatively quickly once they figure out their mistake.  

I apologize of my bluntness.  I am trying to stay positive.  Hard to do with recent news.

Is there any news when the shipment for the FE group will be sent?

Or what was/is the real problem why the shipping is delayed?

They did post that the issue they’re working on was heat creep in the hotend.
