Crappy to hear about your case builder.
Will the other 3d printed cases be of as good or better quality than the ones that the bailed-manufacturer was making?
Thanks for keeping up in the loop. I'd rather be told truth and bad news than nothing at all

The bailed manufacturer was making them out of cast urethane, which was "okay" in terms of strength but had a smooth surface finish.

The 3D printed versions have a 60% infill, so they are quite strong. They'll be a little bit "rough" to the touch, but smooth in apperance.

Thanks!

Hi!

Yes, you can fill out the interest form on www.bluebus.dev. I plan to take additional orders beginning on March 30th with the intention of shipping them in late May.

Thanks!

So, the first ten units are out the door as a complete set. I only had ten cases on hand (this is what I ordered from my "new" case manufacturer as a sample batch), so I sent those units out to those who have been waiting more than a year for a BlueBus (well, no one had paid prior to late November of 2019, so I don't feel as awful)!

If you're one of these folks, you will have gotten an email from me with the tracking information.

Anyways, here's some images.

Thanks! I paid to have the logo designed, but I'm pretty happy with the way it came out.

The cases look GREAT. Not bad for 3D printed, right? :)

I wish M3Forum were up so I could link you to the feedback posted by the beta users.

If your car has the DSP, and you use the digital input, then I'm confident in saying that NOTHING else will sound as good.

If you have the six pin connector for analog input, then I'm still really confident that nothing else will sound better, but not as categorically as with the digital input :)

Thanks!
