New dedicated news channel from @pixelcherryninja.bsky.social is a great deeper dive into all the interesting developments and FPGA gaming updates. Please take a look.

I popped up a blog post going over the experience of new users with Multisystem2. Some FAQโ€™s and more. Itโ€™s really useful for anyone looking to get into MiSTer FPGA or pickup a Multisystem.

Our first ENCC SNAC cartridge is up in the shop for sale. If you want to see more ENCC carts let us know ๐Ÿ‘

Pete has done a wonderful blog post and FAQ on the Multisystem2, really great and very helpful for new and existing users ๐Ÿ‘

Received our bare issue 1 PCBโ€™s for the Multisystem2 JAMMA.

We will get these built up next week.

Huge shipment of USA orders today, we are paying the 10% Tariff for all pre-orders placed before Aug 29th and getting them shipped out to you as quickly as possible.

We are now starting Level 5 for shipments, (#8001 - #8500)
I think this game is finally getting easier ๐Ÿ˜„.

We managed to speed-run Level2, Level 3 is in progress. Full update here on the Shop Blog page - shop.heber.co.uk/blog/multisy...

Thanks for all the continued support.

September is the big push to complete the Pump House project. Will we finish it on time? Hollys face says it all...

Yes, worth a go.
Quick test is to try bending a piece of the filament, most thermoplastics should still bend at least 45 degrees without snapping. If itโ€™s like dry spaghetti and snaps then itโ€™s probably not worth trying in a printer.

Itโ€™ll absorb moisture from the air. Some PLSโ€™s become very brittle and some are not UV stable.
You can resurrect some old PLAโ€™s in the oven at 40C for several hours.

ABS in sunlight can be useless after only ~6 months.

Nylon absorbs the most moisture, dry before every use.

Is it here yet?

We will be posting moreโ€™Shipping Gameโ€™ levels as they get unlocked ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Follow along and have some fun while waiting for your #Multisystem2 ๐Ÿ‘

Lever 1 is almost completed. More updates coming.

Thatโ€™s very cool, it would be good to see more IDEX systems.
Iโ€™m still 3DPrinting every day and using a large print farm for full production manufacturing. Shoot me a message if you ever need anything ๐Ÿ‘

It was the best RepRap 3D printer I ever built. Great accuracy and perfect Z-layer alignment. I used Sli3DR for many years and still have it. I would love to see a large scale version.

Work continues on the Pump House workshop build as @richrap3d.bsky.social customises the arcade lift to take cabs up to the 1st floor.

A few more trays and it now looks like the most amazing PC tower case ๐Ÿ˜‚

I made a little shelf insert for a #Multisystem2 slice tray. You can store your SDcards, Zaparoo NFC cards, cartridges and a few retro sweets ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Maybe we need a double height version for control pad storage ๐Ÿค”

All the #Multisystem2 3DPrint files are now published to @printabls.bsky.social

I canโ€™t wait to see what you all do with them. Go crazy and have fun ๐Ÿ‘

Multisystem2 has started shipping to customers, ahead of our planned Aug 10th estimate.

Thank you and Enjoy ๐Ÿ‘

Oh hey! Wizzo snuck these out. It was fun coming up with a design that felt like a โ€œcartโ€ with the Multisystem 2. Big thanks to @richrap3d.bsky.social and the folks at Heber!

I now also desperately want to make a RumbleMouse ๐Ÿ˜
