  1. Alex has been designing the online shop, and Matt's been meeting the bank about credit cards. Still stuff to do... but y'know, the shop!
  2. If you're curious about electronics, fellow travellers at Twine have a behind-the-scenes look at automated assembly! supermechanical.tumblr.com/post/237190463…
  3. Andy and Nick are in Slovenia debugging production samples of the Bridge electronics. Components are teeny weeny: twitter.com/bergcloud/stat…
  4. Waiting for the second stage plastic samples from China (there are three stages). They've just departed Hong Kong! Fingers crossed Friday.
  5. Components come on reels. Here are the 27-pin connectors used b/t the print mechanism and the circuit board inside LP. twitter.com/bergcloud/stat…
  6. End of another week! Alex is designing the shop, Matt chaperoned LP on a magazine photo shoot & Andy ran some tests... twitter.com/bergcloud/stat…
  7. Lots of quiet debugging today. Nick found a broken Little Printer that thinks the year is 1969. Mellow.
  8. The supply chain in action! Helen is shipping components to Slovenia for test run electronics and future production. twitter.com/bergcloud/stat…
  9. The latest Bridge samples arrived from the factory in an unknown plastic. Andy is burning corners and sniffing to figure out what we've got.
  10. This week- More electronics. Another mould iteration. Certification starts: Electromagnetic compatibility! Hopefully not too long a process.
  11. Turns out Alice has been sneakily coding a dead simple miniseries maker for publishers, and today she showed us all! Great end to the week.
  12. Denise has made a publication on British butterflies. It's a collectable miniseries, words and Victorian-style pictures delivered weekly.
  13. Alice has been making publications. Here's one that uses Instagram, at home on her prototype Little Printer: instagr.am/p/KZiCWKk9uq/
  14. Electronics manufacture is too lengthy. The circuit boards are OK, but obtaining the components to sit on them will take weeks. A concern.
  15. LP was filmed for a TV segment yesterday. Broadcast is in few weeks. Printed: tech news, weather, to dos, & a science fact about polar bears
  16. LP has no screen, only a single red and white light used for all communication. A gently pulsing white glow means a delivery is ready.
  17. Plastic injection molding uses a custom tool made in three stages. First stage samples of the Bridge housing have just arrived from China.
  18. Our hardware has two parts. There's Little Printer, and the Bridge which plugs into your home router and drives LP wirelessly.
  19. As it stands it'll take too long to manufacture the electronics. Andy and Simon are working through ways to cut 1 week here, 3 weeks there.
  20. We commit today to LP's packaging and its graphics. After a busy week, Alex is assembling the final prototype before it goes for manufacture
