NEOCA BL CR2 - previous thread

THIS IS PART 2 OF THE ORDER THREAD

As I posted in the Homemade forum, the CNC shop will be able to do the batch around end of January to mid February. So this thread will be kept open until they give me the GO on the production run.

This is the estimated Roadmap:

1) Between Jan/31 and Feb/18 the production will begin
2) End of the order
3) Purchase converters form the shoppe
4) Order UCL lenses (DONE ready to ship)
5) Order TWOJ emitters (done)
6) Order O-Rings (DONE ready to ship)
7) CNC shop work time is one week
8) Anodizer is two weeks or less depending if they have hard anodize jobs in the pipeline
9) At the same time as the anodizers do their job, I'll start building the light engines (LS+heatsink+converter) since the heat sink is not anodized.
10) Laser engraving of the anodized units is one week
11) Assembly of the units
12) Testing of the units
13) Posting the whole family shot
14) Receive the complete payment of the order
15) Ship
16) Rest /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

My worst case scenario is end of March/05

I want to offer a delivery warranty:

<font color="red"> If I don't deliver by March/31, you will have the option for a full refund or to accept the new delivery time, this is YOUR CHOICE, no questions asked.</font>



From the list I gathered in the homemade forum, the interest is centered on 4 boards: BB400, BB500, Nextgen 400 & Nextgen 500 (with a couple of exceptions), so to simplify the building process, you will be able to choose only one of those.

All the models will have:

Black Hard Anodized Body & Tail cap
UCL lens
3w premium emitter (bin TWOJ)
S017XA Reflector
Top O-Ring and Tail cap O-Ring
Split ring
Laser Engraved: NEOCA BL - Primera Edición
(translation: First Edition)


Let go to the numbers:

NEOCA BL / BadBoy 400 or 500 = $135 (EDITED: REMOVED PREPAYMENT LINKS)

NEOCA BL / NextGen400 or 500 = $150 (EDITED: REMOVED PREPAYMENT LINKS)

Shipping is $10 Worldwide, and delivery time is around 10-15 days. If you want express shipping there is EMS but they charge around $25 to USA and more to Europe/Asia

Paypal address is: [email protected] (Credit Cards are OK /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif) <font color="red">Please add your CPF alias in the comments field, so I can put PAID next to your name</font>


Now the surprises:

1) BRASS NEOCA BL


Brass NEOCA BL / BadBoy 400 or 500 = $150 (EDITED: REMOVED PREPAYMENT LINKS)

Brass NEOCA BL / NextGen400 or 500 = $165 (EDITED: REMOVED PREPAYMENT LINKS)

Brass units will ship first (Fast-Track) since they don't need anodizing and will not be engraved


2) You will have the choice to purchase a second unit (same converter choices) and have a 10% discount on the pair

Example:

NEOCA BL / BadBoy 400 or 500 = $135 (pre-payment=$40)
Brass NEOCA BL / BadBoy 400 or 500 = $150 (pre-payment=$40)
Total= $285
After Discount=$256 (rounded to lower value) ($29 savings)
(shipping is $18)


3) Bare Aluminum

If you want the Body & Tail cap in bare aluminum just post your choice.

Bare Al units will be shipped first (Fast-Track) and will not be engraved


If you have questions, try to find the answer in this NEOCA BL - Homemade Forum Thread or post it here.

I can shave an additional $5 every 50 units made until 200:

Units. . . Final Price
50-99 . . . . $135
100-149 . . .$130
150-199 . . .$125
200+ . . . . .$120

[/ QUOTE ]

Well... this offer is still valid and it adds to the 10% discount offer for 2 units. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Every unit counts no matter if its brass or aluminum. Spread the voice /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

EDIT 2/7/2005

PAYPAL PROBLEM UPDATE / PLEASE READ

PAYPAL PROBLEM SOLVED ON 2/9/05

As agreed with paypal, I will take the full payments when the units are ready to ship.


<font color="red">Edit 2/10/05
Color & Finish options:
</font>

These will be the conditions:[/b]

The cost will be $10 for each color choice and $10 for each finish option.

These options are only for the aluminum units. Please keep in mind that a more apropiate name for the color is tint, because the color must be added to the ha3 natural, so it tends to be more opaque than the same color against white.

BUT,

<Marketing mode on> /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

if you buy more than one unit, along with the 10% discount, you will have the choice of one color and one finish, <font color="red"> a $20 value: FREE </font>

</Marketing mode off>


Bead Blasted comes in 5 levels.

Please remember, the standard unit comes HA Black and not bead blasted.

LATEST UPDATE 3/2/2005

Here are the color samples:

(Black, Bare, HA3 Natural)

PREORDER WILL BE CLOSED SUNDAY 3/6/2005 11:59:59 PM cpf TIME no more delays

<font color="red"> End Updates </font>[/b]


Thanks a Million

This is the updated list, if you see an error, please let me know.

CPFers that were on the 1st list and didn't prepaid or stated interest after the refunds were issued are removed.

If you still are interested, please post in this thread and I'll gladly update the list to your preference.

I don't think my change from NG500 to NG400 made it on to this spreadsheet. Thanks.

Re: NEOCA BL CR2 - 6 DAYS TO GO (Extended: 2/23)

Pablo-
I would like a very dark blue anodizing, bead blasted, and no engraving (and NG500). If not possible to get a darker blue than in the samples you posted, I would go for just bead blasted natural.
Thank you for your exceptional work on this.

javafool/gadgetometry/zman: Corrected

dbrad: I can't do shades of the same color tint, all blues will be the same. Probably will be a little darker than the posted one due to the ha3 tint.

Re: NEOCA BL CR2 - 6 DAYS TO GO (Extended: 2/23)

Pablo, do you have any samples of the various degrees (1-5) of bead blasting? Is the same grit used for each level or just a longer more agressive blast?

Re: NEOCA BL CR2 - 6 DAYS TO GO (Extended: 2/23)

Rudi: Done!
Nirad: I will ask the anno shop for more samples as soon I give them some actual work, and since the 1st part they will receive are the heat sinks for iridizing, I should have real color /beadblasted samples in around a week and 1/2.

For reference only use the previous color samples but turn brightness down on your screen /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I had sent you a payment but do not see it listed in the "paid" column. Should it be so listed.

Re: NEOCA BL CR2 - 6 DAYS TO GO (Extended: 2/23)

Karl: All the yes entries in the list are the refunded funds, your entry says NO, meaning that I didn't refunded you the prepayment /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

But I agree is not clear, will add a note at the bottom, and add the paid amount in the Paid column.

Thanks

Pablo, shipping for two is $18 ? (10+10 - 10% ?)
