    What we paid Hintsteiner compared to their commercial pricing does warrant a big thank you to them. Knowing what we paid, and what I'd expect to pay for producing these kinds of moulds, I suspect we saved about as much as we spent. Remember they took our 3D model and did the industrial design from that to design parts that are actually producable, as well as then making the moulds from that, as well as all the prototyping along the way. From our side, we are pleased that they are proud enough to put their name onto the cases, and feel that it is not disproprortionate to their contribution.

    So the whole asked crowdfunding amount for the case (~66k Euro) was already fitted to Hintsteiner "doubling" that amount in the end, otherwise the crowdfunding campaign would have asked for ~130k Euro?

    Yes, more or less this is the case. What we paid them is only a fraction of the commercial price for creating such an injection moulded case. We are really happy with the result, and we know the quality will be super, and that because the tools are in Europe, they won't just get melted down next time we don't make an order fast enough etc. The tool will become a part of the Museum of Electonic Games and Art when it is no longer being used to press out cases. A very heavy part...

    Howdy folks,

    hop over to the blog to see a bunch of photos of the fit-testing of the new injection-moulded cases. See the fruit of all of your contributions come together into the first mass-producable C65-compatible computer built in almost 30 years!

    None of this would have been possible without all your support and encouragement along the way :)

    Sneak peek to whet your appetites, but you have to go to the blog to see the rest of the photos :)

    There is still more work to go on finishing the tools, which we wil update on as it progresses. Putting the matt finish onto the moulds, and dealing with any adjustments are two key upcoming steps that come to mind.
