The Mold Is On Its Way!

Time for another update folks! 

Xometry is working on fabrication!

So where does that leave us?

Do to the extensive testing we did with the samples previously we had a chat with our engineers at Xometry.
In order to save another 2 weeks on fabrication time we are going to go ahead and roll out the full order! We currently have an estimated shipping date – from Xometry to our assembly location – set for

March 20th!

Once the parts arrive at our assembly we will immediately begin assembling and shipping Spouti out! I estimate that will begin March 25th – but until the actual shipment arrives that is just an estimate.

But that means we are on track! I am super excited to get these shipped out and I know you are too!

The Mold Is On Its Way!

Time for another update folks! 

Xometry has completed the mold analysis, we’ve approved the modifications, and the down-payment has been made!

So where does that leave us?

Xometry is going to make the physical changes to the mold and run another set of test samples. We currently expect the samples to arrive at our assembly location on March 6th.

We will begin testing immediately. Given that we have conducted several in-house and third-party tests we are highly confident that this modification is the final solution.

We will be posting another update once the samples arrive!

Hello! Welcome to the Spouti Newsstand!

Here we plan to keep everyone updated on our progress!

First off – thank you for supporting us! It has been a crazy ride getting Spouti put together and I am very excited about the upcoming steps!

So – Recap! On january 7th we got our first professional sample parts from Xometry – we did an unboxing video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5i0o_FmKnA

I personally tested the samples for a couple of days and found that the silicone softness that we originally wanted was not viable. The cup was too thin with this silicone so sides of the cup folded in, eliminating the seal. This was obviously not acceptable.

We had a 2nd set of harder silicone samples, Shore10 (versus the Shore5 we wanted) I made an in-shop modification to this model and found a solution!

I talk about that in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgJWi27ca1s

On Friday, February 14th we sent in an updated CAD model to Xometry for analysis – once they come back with the quote we will get them to modify the mold!

Once the modification is complete we will review a second set of samples. I am extremely confident in the success of this modification and I expect that we will be able to get approval through quickly so we can move on to the actual production stage!

As we move forward we will continue to update this page with posts, letting you know what step we are on, what we think of the samples, and any dates that we can confidently offer.

Thank you for your support, for your patience, and for joining us on this journey!

Stay tuned!!
