  1. Hi all, I didn't give up. I'm still working on getting the battery pack into production. Since the injection molding process is not worth it in small series, I insisted on 3D printing, but now with SLA resin-based technology. You can see the improved quality of the new box compared to the previous version: I am working on a small batch production of 50 pieces. First of all, I want to satisfy the needs of those who signed up to the email list after the kickstarter campaign, but the remaining pieces and the pieces of the possible next series will soon be available to anyone. More information coming soon
  2. Thanks for the trust you have in advance, but there are still a lot of things left until the product hits stores. One of our plans is to sell the product through our own website https://www.phondly.com and through LEGO stores that are open to it. At the moment (I don’t know how the world economy will change in a year), I could say that the price of the base line pledge (75€) in the campaign is in line with the store price. Allow me one more thought, don’t let your orphaned existing C + HUB rest on the shelf untapped, rather choose one of our great offers to help us get the fund we need to complete the project. :)
  3. Not from this package because OTG is not turned on on the charger IC for some reason, but you can use any power bank to increase capacity
  4. Hi, added on request. We look forward to welcoming you as a potential backer. :)
  5. The kickstarter campaign is live now: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/phondly/enbo-pu
  6. Hi Everyone, We have been working on a project for 1.5 years to finally find a solution to the problem that LEGO does not offer: a rechargeable battery for the technical Powered UP HUB. Because LEGO is relatively slow to update its products in this area, we decided to give our unique battery, the “Phondly EnBo PU Battery Pack,” a chance. Over the past 4 months, we’ve developed our prototype to such a level that we thought it was time to introduce and launch a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for our first production line. The product itself is an integrated solution for 2-cell li-ion batteries, combined with an electronics that provides fast charging via the built-in USB-C connector, power-path management (for stationery models) and consistent output performance throughout the full capacity of the batteries. . The key features are: - lighter than 6 alkaline batteries with holder - constant 9V output voltage - Withstands high power consumption (tested for 5A demand) - power path management, where LEGO creations can be operated while the battery is charging using the power of the connected USB cable - there is a charge indicator LED (lit through the brand logo) - through LEGO or other third-party applications, inform you that the battery is low by turning off the voltage conversion before the batteries are completely discharged. - can be ordered with two types of cover for the old snap-in HUB or the new screw HUB (fully replaceable on the base box) - With the help of you (the sponsors), the appearance of the product will be similar to that of LEGO (better quality injection molded case made of ABS plastic) - the case design allows to tilt the battery out from the HUB We have so far financed the project 100% on our own, but unfortunately we do not have enough capital to finance the production, so we turned to the LEGO community to help us achieve our goal in a kickstarter campaign. As for kickstarter campaigns, you need to know that everything works on an all-or-nothing basis, meaning we only get the money we’ve raised during the campaign if we’ve reached or exceeded our goal. As a supporter of the campaign, if the goal is not met, you will not lose your prepaid money, the amount will not be deducted from your card at the end of the campaign. So if you want to be a part of this story and feel committed enough to help this product get into stores, please help us reach our minimum goal of € 60,000 or more by supporting us on kickstarter while choosing a a reward for yourself that you are happy with. On the other hand, if we don’t achieve our goal, we won’t get paid to continue working on this great product. Our Kickstarter Campaign page is: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/phondly/enbo-pu
  7. No, I'm so sorry I haven't posted here yet, I'm just trying to catch up somehow. I promise to make a new topic here today about it
  8. The space is not that big especially on the PCB but here is a picture of the assembled USB port
  9. Okay, here is the other official possibility: https://www.phondly.com, this is our website.
  10. Please be patient for a few more days and more info will come. It is so certain that the campaign will start now in May. (I think there will be very good reward packages) For the latest updates, please follow our official Facebook page: https://fb.me/phondlydesign
  11. Hi, yes, we are currently trying to put together a kickstarter campaign to fund the first manufacturing run.
  12. I felt something painful when I was driving the models with my mobile during the shooting of the upcoming kickstarter campaign. So after a successful campaign, I will definitely be working on a new remote control. :)
  13. Hi, Thanks for the comments. I’m going to use injection molding and raise money at the kickstarter to fund the first production bunch. I’m busy just finishing my campaign page, but I’ll update my contact information on my website afterwards. This stuff is a prototype right now, and it will a commercial product only be after a successful Kickstarter campaign. In the meantime, please contact me on my official facebook page https://fb.me/phondlydesign or here or at kisgergo@phondly.com Gergő
