I anticipate a start date of about 2-3 weeks. I am really sorry these stinger blocks have been holding me up, they are incredibly complicated. Most of the parts are cut but I am designing as I prototype. Usually I have it all laid out before I even touch the machine. In order to speed things along to get these blocks done I went as fast as I could to get the stinger blocks done.
Those blocks are super complicated, with 5 blocks mating together, as opposed to normally 2 block halves, and all of them have to be the proper height (taking into account thermal pad pressures & cpu contact) and all the holes have to align.
Once I finish those, I still have to make tool plates and get the machine ready to cut blocks, so we are still a ways away until folks get these in their hands. This is kind of the nature of the beast when you are a one man show. The Engineering and design, the layout of the machining, toolpath programming, designing & fabricating a fixture plate, designing stock clamping, actual machining of the blocks, assembly, finishing, testing etc all done by me. Oh... and its all in my spare time as I have 2 jobs and a family. Quite the juggling act I am going through at the moment.
