2016.nov.17 update
boxing up the completed clocks and more clock assembly continues this evening. invoices have been sent to about half of the initial reservation list this morning and clocks will be shipped out according to the order that payment is received
note: the 1st post of this thread has been updated to reflect who has received invoices thus far. it will continue to be updated as I receive payment and when the clocks are shipped for each person on the list
like the last batch, the clocks shipped about 90% assembled. to ensure that the front [transparent grey] acrylic panel is not scratched or otherwise damaged during shipping, it will ship separately in the box, with the protective paper on both sides.
the remaining assembly process is as follows:
- attach the (6) black nylon hex stand-offs to the frontside of the rear panel using the (6) stainless M4 x 12mm screws. you should be able to tighten these by hand and then just snug them up using the enclosed allen key (the larger of the 2 enclosed)
- remove the protective paper from both sides of the acrylic panel (starting at a corner, pull it slowly. the panel will flex a bit, but the paper should release pretty easily
- using a swiffer or a lint-free/microfibre cloth, wipe any dust from the panel's inside (the side that will face the display), line up the panel with the stand-offs and attach it using the remaining (6) black oxide M4 x 12mm screws
finally, "fish" the round end of the power cord up (on the brick) from the bottom of the clock and plug it into the receptacle on the run-dmd board (which is visible through the square hole on the rear panel) and then plug the ac cord into the power brick
