Dear Backers,

We wanted to provide an update regarding the production of the True Wireless Valve (TWV) and address some recent developments.

PCB Setback & Revised Shipping Schedule

Unfortunately, the latest version of our PCB didn’t perform as expected during long-term testing. The issue stems from a mistake we made when adding memory to the board, which we only found out during testing the PCBs that we received from our manufacturer. As a result, we’ve reordered new boards with the necessary adjustments. This has pushed our production schedule back by at least four weeks.
At this stage, we don’t have units ready for shipping. To address this, we’ve decided to split our shipping into two batches. Once the corrected PCBs and enclosures are complete, we’ll ship the first batch, followed by the remainder as soon as possible after that. We will keep you informed as more details become available.

Housing Adjustments: Moving to SLS Printing

On a positive note, we’ve recently tested enclosures printed with SLS technology, which offered better results than the earlier MJP prints. The new SLS housings are more robust and better suited for our design. Based on this test, we’ve decided to switch to SLS printing for all units moving forward.

Moving Forward

We’re continuing to address these technical challenges and ensure the TWV is ready for shipping as soon as possible. We’ll provide further updates on both the production timeline and the next steps as they become clear.

If you have any questions, thoughts, or suggestions, please reach out to our Discord at any time.

Best regards,

Dmytro & Uhome Team
