[Noisebridge-discuss] Shapelock - Finalizing order

[Corey McGuire]

OK!  So Dillo and I tested the two materials along side "Shapelock" and we
have confirmed that CAPA 6800 is the material we want.  The 6500 is great to
work with, but because of it's greater "Melt Flow Index" (rate at which
material is extruded when standard force is applied) when in its semisolid
form, it flows more freely, which is challenging when working by hand as the
material oozes out of the shape formed.  I will not be entertaining having a
split CAPA 6500/ CAPA 6800 order this time around.  The materials are not
different enough to warrant complicating the order.  People working with
molds may consider CAPA 6500 in the future, but, again, the differences are
not that great.

Thank you, Aaron, for the Samples.  Confidence in getting this order right
is most helpful.

So I am ready to start finalizing the order.  Please update the wiki with
your final desired quantity.  I will start sending out invoices to everyone
Wednesday.  I would like to place the order on Monday.  The Shapelock Party
is still on for Sunday.  I'm going to collect some materials on how to work
it and then demo it.  People who wish to pay me cash can pay me Sunday
night.

Everyone, assume $18 per KG.  I am fairly certain that the price will be sub
$17, but until everything is finalized, we will not know.

Thanks everyone.
