2007 Maxon Motor Group Buy

MAJOR UPDATE:

Major update Guys. I sent a lot of emails asking for shipping address confirmation and last minute options (motors screws and tape). I should received the pulleys beginning of next week and be able to start to ship most of the kits.

Thanks for your patience again.

Those of you that didn't receive any email were the one that ordered parts kits. As I said earlier, the switches are still back ordered until Jan 21st (digikey current date). If there is any emergency, I can always ship your parts kit incomplete, and ship the switches later on. But I would prefer a single complete shipping to prevent errors and shipping work. Let me know.

Take note also that I'm still missing the second batch of motor pods that were shipped surface to save on shipping charges. I still hope to get these while I start shipping kits.

So here the list of the lucky ones that were contacted and may be about to get their kits 😎

Analog_sa, Finneybear, Sklimek, Markgall, Bas Horneman, Patriz, GeWa, Cedus, PostHorn, Fisheads, Thuer, Wasted, JLwong, Secips, Pekka, Atiq19, Fredicol, Wuffer, Jonk, Nanook, Paudux, Vil, DougR, Nameci, Av-Trouvaille

and pulleys only: ZUM911, SuperHKM, DiyFan

The faster you reply to my emails, the faster we will complete the work.

Bye...

UPDATE:

I received the pulleys. Well boys, they are looking gourgeous. They look like pieces of jewelry, not pulleys. Very impressive work.:bigeyes:

Thanks a lot Greg for your contribution to this GB.

Tims to start packing kits now...

Have a good weekend.

Thanks Greg for the info. I'll joint that into the FAQ sheet.

I completed Fishead prototype, see the inside picture. This is an illustration on how it can be mounted into the proposed Hammond enclosure.

I should be able to contact the members that paid for the assembled PCB this week too for shipping and final cost adjustments.

I completed my testing using the string custom pulley and the controller prototype (from Fishead). Indeed, the controller can easily be adjusted for 45 and 33rpm using this larger diameter pulley.

As Greg said, the pulley is very tight fit, in particular after the anodization. I used an heat gun to heat the pulley. Then, the pulley slided just smoothly over the motor shaft. It can be as easily be removed by heating the pulley again. Nice work Greg.

I'm shipping the prototype controller this week.

Shipped the following member's kits:

Sklimek, Sean McArthur, wuffer, Thuer, Pekka, Cedus, SvErD. Check your email. Thanks...

Still no payment from the others guys. Take note that I will be very busy with work (a lot of travelling) in the next weeks.

The sooner you pay, the sooner I'll ship your kit, the better. I won't be able to do any shipping away from home 😉

Mikewong: Unfortunatly this groupd buy is closed and all parts are sold. If there is enough interest I may (with Greg help) start an other GB. This time it would be a simpler project with a lot less option: PCB/motor/pulley only. You take care of the rest. I'll keep your name on file and get back to you if we start an other GB.

I'd be interested in the next group buy if it happens... (pretty disappointed that I missed this one... if anyone has a change of plans and decides to sell their parts please let me know)
