ok so a quick status update:
- Frida, in Shenzhen, have a customer currently ordering their 2.8in
FRD280J3703D SPI-based LCD. this means it's possible to place an order for less than the normal MOQ of 1,000 so we go with that one for the 15in laptop.
- i calculated that for the microdesktop i have an ENTIRE MONTH of
3d-printing to do, and a YEAR for the laptop. there's an update going out about this soon but basically i need help. ideas or actual practical help.
Are there companies that you could hire to do the bulk of the 3d printing? Any idea what the quality and/or cost would be?
Is there any feasibility of producing the laptop parts via injection molding, but preserving the design in a way that end users could still print replacement parts? Seems like this would require a large redesign investment but could save time and money manufacturing.
- i'm investigating RISC-V *long-term*, i will start a separate thread
about this (immediately after writing this) so am reaching out to various people to see who's interested.
