Recently, we had a great opportunity to test our equipment, a local skate event "Panonian challenge". Many people connected to our network at the same time is a great environment for testing.

This meant that we had to make lot's of devices, and once you start making them in larger amounts, you tend to notice things that impede your workflow.

During assembly, we noticed that some parts had a too tight fit, that made the devices tricky to assemble at times due to relatively low tolerances of our 3D printers.

We also performed maintenance on a few devices that were out in the field for a few months, and noticed that the glue that was holding them in place did not held up as expected, so we had to implement some minor design changes there as well.

These nuts tended to fall out of their place once the glue lost it's properties, so we chose to tighten our bolts directly in the plastic.

Our technique of rapid prototyping allowed us to detect and eliminate the issues and test the solution in less than a day!
These improvements, each on it's own, don't seem significant, but they add up, and result in a much better experience.
