Just wondering if the plan to release the first new hybrid nest in April is still the plan?
The schedule has been pushed out, but just a little. We will be doing a production run on the new Formica Hybrid toward the end of this month, but they won't be available in the store until mid to late May. (That is the latest plan...)
Pics! We want pics! :lol:
I don't think you'll get them.

The plan is to discontinue the current model as the manufacturing method is too slow. We will offer one generic design in a small size (similar in size to the current Hybrid Small).
I suppose it's a little cheeky to ask for the design of the v2 nests if they're being discontinued? ;)

Are you talking about the 3D print files?

We have discussed this actually and have not decided yet. I think there is a good chance that they will be put into the public domain at some point though ;)

Might not be until the end of the year though...
