Shipping Update: 4th of September 2025

Hi everyone — quick update on where things stand.

Material upgrade:

During beta testing in warm conditions we noticed some plastic parts warping. To ensure long-term durability, we made the decision to switch from PLA to PETG-Carbon Fiber + ABS . This material is much stronger, more heat-resistant, and overall more premium. The change took extra time, but it significantly improves the final product.



Production:

This week we’ve started 100 final units for quality checks and pipeline testing before scaling up to mass production. This is our last major step before full-scale delivery.



Heat transfer test:

We ran tests with the soldering iron at maximum temperature (450°C):

• 15 minutes in the holder: No noticeable effect, all surfaces stayed cool.


• 3 minutes close to the holder: Plastic softened slightly but returned to normal stiffness within ~10 seconds after the iron was removed.

Conclusion:

The new PETG-CF material passed without concerns. It performs far better than PLA in high-heat situations and is a clear upgrade for durability (see picture below).



Delivery timeline:

Kickstarter backers: First units will ship in late September 2025. Some will receive theirs in September, most in October.

E-commerce customers: Deliveries will follow in October 2025.



We know waiting is frustrating, but this upgrade and extra testing are making SOLDR a better product.

Thank you for your patience and for supporting us on this journey 💛

Shipping Update: 27th of June 2025

Hi everyone—Alex here. Planning for mass production is progressing as expected. One supplier unexpectedly just extended lead-times for two components (wire cutters and multimeters) from 1–2 weeks to about 4–5 weeks though, and this will prolong our shipping date in a minor way.

For Kickstarter backers this means:

Production begins in: August 2025

Estimated delivery: Most packages should land throughout September.

For E-commerce customers this means:

Estimated delivery: Most packages should land throughout October.

We will use this extra window to triple-check every module and make sure SOLDR is as polished as you deserve. Thanks for sticking with us and for all your support—it truly keeps the team and me motivated.
