  anyone with 3D modeling skillz up for contributing a little case for these bad boys? https://shop.mntre.com/products/protected-battery-board the idea is to have a case where you can mount a pair of these, put in 8x 18650 LiFePO4 cells and have a slot where the 2 picolock cables can come out. we're launching the MNT Station soon, which is a desktop/server case for the MNT Reform mainboard, and it has holes on the back where these cables can go in.

  in other good news: we recently passed the 25 preorders threshold on the MNT Quasar 6490 processor module and put in our order with Atlantik/Thundercomm for the QCS6490+RAM/UFS component. i'd say now is a good time to reserve your spot if you're interested in this upgrade for Pocket Reform: https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-quasar-6490-processor-module?taxon_id=13

  just took some pictures of the new MNT Pocket Keyboard (small standalone USB-C keyboard with integrated optical trackball and RGB backlight) that's coming to our shop at some point next week. the case is a mix of aluminum (top plate) and Multi Jet Fusion printed Nylon (HP PA 12 S). in my opinion it feels really nice in the hands. open source hardware, of course.
