Bobbins ordered from China

I’m partnering with a Chinese manufacturer to make my bobbins now. The best price I could get locally was $6/pc and they offered $4/pc after shipping and before import fees, which is still cheaper. So I got 100 units, enough to cover me for the next few weeks. After that we’ll see about ordering more.

PS: Here’s an STL model of the part on Thingiverse. If you want to beat that price, I’d love to buy from you.

What does that mean? It means the last of my production problems are solved in the current model. I can focus on improving the software and tackling some of my other projects. I’m a little embarrassed that I’ve been claiming the software will be great and never dedicating time to make it happen. Send me your feedback! I want to know what works and what doesn’t. Please comment on Github.

Next time I release a new product I’m going to have all these production questions solved BEFORE the product hits the store. I want people from day 1 to be able to say how awesome it is. Now let’s see if I learned my lesson.
