v cool

would be interested to hear the unlocks at each step

would guess it’s a lot of different things coming together

Yeah, a lot of little things:

 - Using the right tools or just discovering what the right tools for some of the right jobs are. 
 - Simplifying the designs making it easier to manufacture
 - Optimizing for manufacturability meaning we changed the design or added different parts to the process that would cut down time on manual labor
 - Printing other 3D printed components that would aid in the process of accelerating production. I think we have more things that we printed that are used to aid the process of building a device compared to the number of components that go into an actual device. 
- Some of this stuff also isn't just about manufacturability either. It took a long time to dial in the filament in the way that we wanted it to print in a way that we could print 100 of them. 
- Software repeatability as well - there's definitely still things that are stochastic 
- but it took us a while to dial in a script that would set things up as well while maintaining new features in the process of manufacturing
- Adding things to the list that we didn't initially account for. Figuring that out. 

Other Things like:
 - How do we do shipping?
 - What the box is going to go into?
 - Where are the labels are going to go?
 - What stickers do we need?

Just all of these things that you don't think about when you start making the camera itself.
