Hello All,
We’ll keep this one short and sweet! Many parts have arrived and more are scheduled. So far the time estimates and assumptions made in the previous update are still on track.
Full production shipment of new heating element gaskets have arrived on May 17, 2023
The first 300 filters for the power plug have arrived on May 17, 2023
Full production shipment of updated bent fill tubes shipped on May 18, 2023
40 back panels with the updated power outlet cutout shipped on May 18, 2023
60 back panels are expected to ship on a weekly basis
We’ll pause here for a moment because this is a key update. Once we have these 40 back panels in hand, we can finally finish the complete assembly of 40 machines!
Additional updates:
Molded pulp packaging inserts with outer packaging will start shipping next week.
We estimate we will receive 50 units in this first batch.
Paid final invoice for EMI/EMC testing, waiting for reports to be sent to us. This is the only certification necessary for domestic shipments.
Safety testing is still ongoing with one remaining test then documentation (necessary for shipping outside of the US).
We’re looking to bring on another Assembly Technician. See here for more details https://www.odysseyespresso.com/join-us Please reach out to us if you’re interested!
Thank you all again for your patience. Many of you have reached out to us with kind words about our transparency and dedication to delivering a high quality product. We read them all! We know we’ve missed our target more than a few times, but we think we’re finally seeing the end of the tunnel.
Completed Piston Assemblies. They all get individually wrapped now to avoid the risk of scratching.
LOTS of parts came in last week. There are all the remaining welded boilers and sheet metal parts.
Final pre-bent tubes
Perfect fitment in the 3D printed jig
Sincerely,
Ross & William
