        Has there been any headway with the carbon situation? I absolutely loved the idea of wearing carbon fibre and the weaving looked epic.

          There was an update sent out...[url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mclear/nfc-ring/posts/764107:y629hset]Update #33[/url:y629hset]. Basically it says 6 months or you get another choice of ring.

            I think I have a fix for this now, a kevlar alternative that looks like CF. I also think I have a solution for black plated PVD rings being impossible to polish.

            I have begun our R&D process and I should have a result in 8 weeks. It takes ages because every component in the ring is completely different so this is a complete start-from-scratch project!

                @johnyma22 That's great news! Is the 8 weeks for the Kevlar fiber, the blask plated rings, or both? Either way, it's definitely something to look forward to.

                  I think 8 weeks for an R&D prototype @mkabala -- So far everything is actually going swimmingly the bummer is that I leave my R&D office to go to London for most of the rest of this month, I'm trying to get everything done before I leave but it's certainly going to slow things down :(

                    Great news! Hopefully I'll be able to fiddle around with my replacement before the R&D is finished but I'm amped that there may be a possible replacement.
