We don’t deserve TK :innocent:

I agree that things happen and these lights are certainly not very important, as we all have dozens of lights.

But I thought a well respected manufacturer was involved since some time and this is not just a hobby project anymore. In that case I agree with X3 and its just poor project management. And this project is losing momentum for a long time.

EDIT: Certainly don’t take me off the list yet

So Lumintop just needs one dimension changed in a CAD file to be ready to go. And it sounds like they have a pretty good idea of the change they want made.

Is it possible for them to just go ahead and make the change themselves if nobody can get hold of Fritz? Or will the project simply die if Fritz never responds?

Bob_McBob · October 26, 2018, 5:43pm

I’m sure Lumintop can easily make the change themselves, but they probably want Fritz to sign off on the final version. So, we wait.

ToyKeeper:

Please try to be patient. I know it’s uncomfortable waiting, not knowing what’s going on, but it doesn’t accomplish anything to assume the worst and let assumptions turn into anger. It generally just makes things worse. People have lives outside of the forum, and that takes precedence. Like how RMM hasn’t been around much lately… and it turns out the reason is because he and his wife had a daughter, born about two months early, and they’ve been working around the clock to help their newborn survive. Or when The Miller disappeared, because his place got flooded and then he was ill for a long time. These things happen. I don’t know what’s keeping Fritz away. I just know his last message stopped in the middle of a thought and he hasn’t responded since. Maybe … Something Happened. ™⁽⁾ So we’re trying to get in touch, to make sure he’s okay and try to move the project along.

It’s a mystery. Perhaps even an action-packed psychological thriller by M. Night Shyamalan. One of these days he’s bound to make a movie called: Something Happened

Thanks Mother!

Silence? I suppose, if it hadn’t been filled with the endless carping. :confounded:

Bob_McBob · October 27, 2018, 5:36am

Post #5000, wow!

JasonWW · October 27, 2018, 6:42am

Don’t brag, someone will snatched it away. Lol

turbiny · October 27, 2018, 3:51pm

Hello, everyone
interested as well.
anyone can shed some light on price

zcbtjwj · October 27, 2018, 4:02pm

$25-30, depending on emitters is the goal, give or take $5 or so. XPL HI are more expensive than other emitters.

spaceminions · October 27, 2018, 5:15pm

The prices we were told when the emitter poll was going on were $30 for LH351D or any other emitter option, or $36 for XPL HI. Where did you hear these other numbers?

teacher · October 27, 2018, 5:27pm

Yes… this is the correct info. :+1:

MascaratumB · October 27, 2018, 5:38pm

I’d call it wishful thinking :money_mouth_face:

pepinfaxera · October 27, 2018, 6:25pm

Price FW3A - TLF a BLF: US30 $ with XP-G3 shipping included.
Of that agreement, many months ago.
Let’s hope it is still: shipping included.
For some countries, shipping is more cost, more expensive, I fear that, For those countries, I fear that: Lumintop claim shipping cost
.
(with XP-L Hi, + US6 :money_mouth_face:.

What members were sent lights for final review?

cabfrank · October 27, 2018, 8:42pm

Yep, see what can happen? Let’s just hope we’re not at 6000 without lights in our hands.

cabfrank · October 27, 2018, 8:47pm

Significantly, not TK.

ToyKeeper · October 27, 2018, 10:21pm

That didn’t take long.

I, um, have a good memory. So let’s see what disappeared…

Fritz is the FW3A Team right? And he was supposedly getting the 3rd prototype mailed to him?
