Preparing for Manufacturing

by Christopher G

As we move forward with production, we wanted to share our latest progress and give you a behind-the-scenes look at what’s happening with the Hornet Nest Alarm Panel.

Finalizing Manufacturing & Component Sourcing

We are in the final stages of coordinating with our contract manufacturer (CM) to begin production. Nearly all components have been secured, with only three parts still outstanding. Due to the Chinese New Year, many suppliers are on holiday, which has introduced a short delay before global sourcing resumes. However, all miscellaneous components—such as stand-offs, screws, fuses, pin headers, and packing materials—have been delivered and are ready for assembly.

Refining the Details: Cable Management & Extra Fuses

Sometimes, the smallest details make the biggest difference. From the beginning, our goal has been to make the Hornet Nest Alarm Panel as user-friendly as possible. Ample space for routing wires and keeping installations neat was a priority, so we are taking that a step further by including board-mounted cable-tie clips. These clips will help maintain an organized and professional setup. We’ve finalized the design and are currently printing them in batches of 200.

In addition, we’ve decided to include an extra set of fuses for all backers. This is both a small token of appreciation and a practical addition so that a simple wiring mistake doesn’t leave anyone scrambling to find replacement fuses.

Our Commitment to You

This project wouldn’t be possible without your support. Because of you, the Hornet Nest Alarm Panel is becoming a reality. We are committed to delivering a high-quality product that will serve you reliably for years to come. Thank you for backing this campaign, for your patience as we finalize production, and for being part of this journey with us.

We’ll keep you updated as we move through manufacturing, testing, and fulfillment. More to come soon.
