Jasen’s Customs: CPS1 Multi Case Thread

Is there any reseller distribution for Europe planned? E.g with smallcab.net or arcadexpress.com

Really want to get the cps1 and 3 cases but shipping from US is understandably expensive plus Mr Customs will want his pound of flesh too.
 
Good morning everybody! I’ve gotten a lot of requests for this case and the list looks like it’s long enough on my website to support a run of these. I’m finalizing some detail details this week and should open up pre-orders on Monday maybe Tuesday at the latest. The goal would be to produce as many as needed for the list and have them ship probably late February. I want to give everyone an opportunity to get in on the pre-order with as much time possible.

I understand shipping cost from the US to Asia and Europe are going be expensive and then there’s customs to deal with unfortunately, it’s difficult to overcome those. Some people have had luck using third-party shipping services because of the volume they do and the prices they can charge unfortunately I don’t have access to those price prices so I can’t compete with their cost on shipping. Something with 5 million packages a year versus a couple thousand :-)

I’m not going to commit to saying this is my final run of the CPS1 case, but my focus lately has been on the panzer fight stick lineup and some development work that I’m just starting on updating the MK 30 adcap super gun.

Thanks to everyone who’s PM me or emailed me about these - if I’ve been short with my replies or less warm than desired, please note there’s been a lot going on with my business development wise, my professional life and it’s long hours, and just trying to have any free time possible to enjoy life once in a while.
 
Thanks for all of the support folks! The current preorder list is closed and I am awaiting the DipSwitch PCBs to arrive to ship the cases out. I left the list open for about two weeks and once I saw orders stop coming in and the notify me list empty (meaning folks got notices they were back) I closed it so I could get these shipped out ahead of schedule. I have made the cases though and they are here ready to go.

The list was never intended to remain open permanently with a rolling door of preorders being accepted. If that wasn't understood, I apologize for the confusion. I will be doing another run when the list has at least 15 names on it; so I hope that it wont take as long to do them again.
 
For those who may not have had funds, missed it, or otherwise. Please sign up for the notify list on my website. I’ll monitor it and do another run again. This time I’ll be more clear about the order dates and when they will close etc; I could have done a better job this go around with being more clear.

Fortunately, it seems that almost everyone was able to nab a case that wanted it. For those that did miss the window, I’m sorry - the notify list is the best way to indicate interest as I don’t keep a separate google doc any more; the store front has much better and more efficient tools to do this!
 
Check your inbox folks! Shipping labels created and USPS is picking everything up tomorrow. Apologies for the slight delay - I wanted them out yesterday but USPS held a part order from Mouser hostage two extra days.

If you need a case, let me know - I have one left. I made a special one for @kuze without graphics and realized I made an extra overall because of it. Please DM or shoot me an email.
 
Has anyone tried to install a volume switch where hdmi passthrough is loacated?
I am planning to install a volume switch instead of hdmi passthrough but not sure about the size of the switch. Can anyone tell me which size of switch would fit it?

I put a volume pot there, what I did was print a Neutrik D blanking panel:

I drilled approximately a 6mm hole in the middle then fit one of these:

I used one of these cables soldered to the CPS1 A board so it can be easily disconnected:

End result fits snugly under the 3/4P helper PCB.
