Blog: Progress on the SATRAN

I can hardly believe its true, but what was just a hobby project a few months ago is now the beginning of a new business. Today I modestly opened the webshop and the first kits sold out in minutes and are now on their way to early adopters across europe. Since I wasn’t expecting such huge interest, the stock was very limited but things will soon ramp up quickly.

Production has been ongoing for some time now, and there’s only a few more components to arrive by post before I can offer customers the first kits. However, the first batch won’t be as big as I would like, but its a good start. If you count all individual components, there are approx 150pcs for a single kit. Some needs to be soldered, some needs to be 3D-printed, while others just needs to be counted and put into bags. On the schedule today… shortening of the stepper motor cables.
