Beautiful case. I really like the new design! I wonder if a 3D printed version with maybe some branding on the top, could be created. I've used mine in a temporary plastic housing (tupperware) and haven't had any non-shielding issues.

Definitely yes! It has happened before that you ended up with no machine. ;)

Good solution!

How about this:
Q68 with new panel logo

Here is a photograph of the first Q68 sub batch, ready to be dispatched:

If I am hoping to send out 5 Q68, per week, assuming I can keep up with the work flow.

My apologies for the delays.


Regards,

Derek

As it's nearly 40 years since QL was announced, I think we ought to be in the process of planning to have a "QL Is 40" international meeting. Special guest - Q68.
