As official reseller we will get these machine in with the first official production run after we are sure that all of of the teething problems are solved.
First production run is expected Q2 of 2024.

The final price is expected to be € ~1880,-

First, there is no one big reason for us not being ready. It is not that there is a big design flaw that we missed, or that we discovered some enormous challenge. Instead, it's many little things. Each one individually fairly inoffensive, but they pile up. And we need to tackle each one with care. After the latest integration review, it's clear that it will not be responsible to launch the tooling manufacturing before we tackle all of these small issues as some plastic parts either will change or interact with parts that need change. This means that we are in a kind of lockout in which we can't start tooling in parallel.

In normal circumstances I would expect these issues to be sorted out in a few weeks, but December is always a slow month so realistically we might still be sorting these issues in mid January.

We had a very small window of opportunity to make enough progress before Chinese New Year (Early February) when every factory shuts down for about a month. Missing that window by just a couple of weeks means we will not be able to start tooling before the end of January, and that automatically extends the timeline into the first two weeks of March.
