Organized tasks needed to start shipping Voyager 2a
Met with EU distributor
Two 1:1s with team
Moved contractors over from Deel to Pilot
Completed contract review with our 3PL vendor
Signed up with 3PL vendor’s order management system
Completed hiring a 3D rendering artist for the next product images
Discovered I might have messed up our case supply
I ordered 75 extra cases from a secondary vendor (at 5x the price as our normal vendor)
It turns out that the screw holes are different on these prints, so our screws don’t fit
We’re trying larger screws, but it may be a $5k loss on the cases + several weeks of case shortage
It’s my mistake for now doing a test build with the sample print before ordering the full batch, but I assumed the fit would be identical across 3D printing vendors.
