Spektra "Halo" is here!

[fkirons]

Finally the hard work of two years paid off. Still little tweaks here and there.
But we are at 1.5 month to launch the product. Preorders will take place in about 3 weeks.
I'm almost in tears...lol

Hey Congrats man, The machine looks clean and smooth!

[Zapp]

I hope these are not the final skrews !? The machine is designed without any edge for easy cleaning and then you have all the riffle in the skrews !!!!

Hahaha no man lol I just put what I had in hand the screws will be Hex shinny and made out of stainless steel. Smaller too.
I just couldn't wait any longer to put it together.

[Zapp]

Puuuuhh,nice to hear !!!!
I was shocked for a second :-)

I was gonna ask about those too, they looked plastic. But i figured those were not the end product since you said there are still a few tweaks here and there. So how is it, is it running like you wanted?

[JCarlton]

Yes Yes yes!

It runs really nice and smooth, super silent! I was in tears at one point today.... We tweaked that slider several times. The finish of the slider will be even better with the new mold tweak. What a pain in the ass that mold and everything that relates to injection molding but it was necessary due to the complex shape of the slider which it houses the stainless steel piston. The slider also has a design that distributes lubrication as the machine runs.
We are making last adjustments to the motor cap. I am trying a clip in system to compare if I like the thread system or clip. And of course every little thing delays things even more but we are really close to have this finalized. You can say that you can put this machine in your christmas wish list. thanks for the greetings, this project means a lot to me and has cost me an arm, a leg and one nut.

wait what screws? you mean the thumbnuts? If so those are pretty much it and they are made out of aluminum and then anodized in black. I;m considering leaving them raw aluminum. They are really comfortable to operate. The only plastic thing in this machine is the slider, the rest of hardware is 7075 (aside from the stainless steel armature pin and piston).
