A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has paid so far! Almost there!
If you are not on the list and would like a kit, PM me - spaces open up from time to time.
If you need to pull out of the buy, please PM me and let me know so I can open up the spot for others.
(there is currently one spot open)
Good News:
PCBs - prototype run from the new fab house should be arriving in the next week or so. The new sample temp probes should arrive tomorrow! I received final samples of the box and they are good - just need to finalise heatsink before ordering the production run.
Bad News:
The heatsink manufacturer contacted me and said the mould for the extrusion profile broke (yeah... annoying). The cost of a new mould is high, so I am back to looking for a new supplier.
Parts Received so far: buttons, stainless screws, nuts, nylon standoffs, buzzers, thermal paste, SSRs, Arduino Megas, Custom cables, Custom LEDs, Power connectors.
The list below indicates what I have received.
Please don't edit this list as it contains payment information. If you have paid and it is not indicated on the list, wait a few days. I will try to update it regularly. Thanks Everyone!

Details about this kit if you want to know more:
Hi Everyone,
The costing came out to $245AUD per kit + $15 postage (AusPost express) once all the parts and exchange rates are accounted for.
If you haven't seen this post:
http://aussiehomebre...46#entry1251289 It has more details on pricing etc.
If you are outside Aus, the kit is almost exactly 1.5kg, which means that the calculation needs to be for 1.5-2kg to allow for packaging (appx 150/200gr I think). If you are international, the price is $245+Intl postage+$5 for packaging materials. Go to:
http://auspost.com.a...calculator.html and select Overseas (parcels) and check out weights. Generally better value can be had by combining weight - eg: 2 kits =3-3.5kg and usually makes shipping cost per kit half.
I've put together a quick (actually, it is 30mins...) video showing what is included and how it all goes together so if you are trying to figure out what is included and how difficult / easy it is, give it a watch. It is so beautifully simple to put together.

Based on the first survey I did, I'm looking at getting heating elements and stainless plates to make the build process easier. So there is a quick survey about that. The only question you have to complete is the one saying - Yes I will be responsible for the kit I build, not Lael (basically - you build it, you are responsible for it). Once you submit that, you'll get account details to put the money into, and I can start ordering parts! (I'll actually wait a little until we get enough people paid for this to go ahead). I'll add payment status to the above list once it starts coming in.
A BIG Thank You! to Austin and the Admin crew for giving me supporter status to allow me to handle all the messages coming through. Super appreciated!
