DAVEGA X Updates

Could you just spray paint the silver one?

For a unity would it be 7 pin or 8 pin? And what’s better acrylic screen or glass?

Yes, go for it.

You can always downgrade back should you not like the update.

7P. Glass is better unless you jump or do other crazy stuff.

The current plan for the enclosure manufacturing is to have a new batch made every 3 months and do black, raw, and a new color.

So a limited batch with a new color should be available every 3 months. The next batch is coming in ~2 months and I haven’t decided the color yet.

I’ll find out what the options are and we can have a vote.

I wonder what new color would people prefer for the next batch. Here is the list of available colors:

  • green
  • purple
  • blue
  • gold (yellow)
  • orange
  • titanium

I know, right. The communication is a bit difficult since the CNC company is arranging the anodizing with a third party supplier so it’s like playing Chinese whisper. I’m not sure if the “green” on the picture is actually what they offer. I’ll try to find out.

I just talked to the anodizing supplier and from what I understood, the colors below the poll are pretty much what it would look like on the DAVEGA housings. The red indeed looks pretty much like the previous batch of housings.

So, yeah, the green is actually what I would rather call teal.

Those samples don’t have the titanium. The titanium is here:

However, as they explained, on this particular material the colors look different from they would look on the DAVEGA housing. They said the titanium would probably look darker on DAVEGA.

I got quotes for the X-brackets. I should be able to sell them at around 250 CZK/pc (10 EUR, 12 USD) anodized. Raw may be even slightly cheaper.

The anodizing will likely be done together with the DAVEGA enclosures, so we’ll have black, raw, and probably titanium (you may still try to change that here).

I’m just not sure about the counts for old school / new school. Let me do another poll:

  • old school
  • new school

Shipping update

I temporarily stopped offering International shipping with the Czech Post. The reason is that I currently have 4 missing packages that have been in the transit for more than a month. There’s still a chance they will get delivered but it’s pretty annoying. I may re-enable it or not based on the outcome.

Czech Post is still available for EU since I haven’t yet had any significantly delayed packages there.

For outside of EU it’s currently UPS only. I negotiated decent rates and for USA, in particular, it’s a pretty good deal.

I also added a new shipping method for the EU – PPL/DHL, which is generally a much better service than the Czech Post and for some countries (Austria, Germany, Slovakia, Poland) they are even cheaper (200 CZK flat rate, ~7.60 EUR).

Please check the Shipping & Tax page at the website for more details.

I can ship to UK but you have to order more than 135 GBP worth of goods, i.e. get at least 2 units. (Or one and a lot of cables. :slight_smile:)
