Order Status (Under Construction)

Update 4/28/25 - Middle Reliever pre-Orders complete.  Working now on finalizing the new universal pad design and getting some feedback on it.  Targeting before end of May for release.  Even so, it will be limited batch drops as I build mold capacity for higher throughput and capability.  There're always kinks to work out.

Update 4/28/25 - All pre-orders have been shipped as of last week!  That was a lot of sleeves :) thank you to everyone for your patience through the 2 months it took me to complete all orders. But the good news is I have improved my process so I can handle more sleeves per week and should not have significant delay.  I'll be opening "pre-orders" again May 5th with a target limit of 75 total per week.  It should hopefully exceed demand for a while.

​

Update 4/21/25 - I have most of the sleeves complete up past order 750 and will fill out to 815 in the next few days.  I still have to package and ship out the remaining orders which shouldn't take more than a few days. Thanks to everyone for the patience through this.  I will be much better prepared, efficient, and better at timing estimation for the next round of pre-orders.

​

Update 4/14/25 - I have enough sleeves now to fill up to order 725 or so. Packing and shipping is a pain for this many orders but they should go out over the next few days so USPS doesn't ban me.  I am trying to make enough sleeves to fill up to orders 815 by next Monday.  I seem to be on pace.  Thanks to everyone for your patience as I get all these out to you!

​

Update 3/27/25 - I did not realize my eshop software continued to update inventory when I filled preorders so my upper limit shut off was never engaged.  Didn't realize this until today so we have exceeded my intended limit by a significant amount.  I also found the error in the code for the automated review email so apologies about that nonsense.  God damn mouth breather....

I am still a bit limited by my real job unable to do 3 short shifts a day so I am roughly at 25 sleeves per day.  I'm going to hold off on pad orders until I get the majority of the sleeves done from the pre-order (sorry pumpers).  It will likely be another 3-4 weeks until I finish all orders.  The orders from Feb 17 and 18 are roughly 25% of total orders remaining so I apologize to you guys for the delay.  Should take me about a week to complete remaining orders from these 2 first days.  I apologize in advance for all the wait but the good news is my process is faster than it used to be and without pad orders I'll move faster.

Update 4/21/25 - I'm working on a new fully universal pad design :).  It will take a few weeks to a month to get some limited beta testing feedback but I'm fairly confident on the design.  It should make my life much easier with all the different mold designs I've had to compile.  This means much more efficient casting.

​

Update 3/24/25 - Pads from 3/3 are finished and out the door.  I will put pad orders on hold until I near completion of the pre-order sleeves.

Linear Rail Extender (The Erec-tion Set? Name TBD)

I hated everything about the knob and head phones style breaking system once tension got above 8 lbs.  So I am currently redesigning everything besides the base.  I designed some nylon thumb screws to use as set screws for things that need to stop.  It's much easier to have that centered on the rail rather than offset and adding torque/friction.  I'm still testing things out trying to eliminate slop from some of the rail fittings to keep things sliding smooth.

2" ID Universal Reinforced Pad

I just upgraded my 1.75" molds and it makes things much easier for me.  Removes that ugly giant sprue I have to cut and allows me to move to injection rather than open pour.  I'm also going to remove the 20A top sleeve to have it be all the same material.  Should save me some time.  Also, I'm stopping sanding my molds.  I've improved the print quality so it comes out with a bit better surface finish straight from the printer.  Colors are brighter. Minor surface blemishes are not something we should concern ourselves with in PE. The 2" design is going to be just an upsizing of the 1.35-1.75" universal (1.5"ID, I should probably just fucking call it that).  Hope to get that prototyped by next week.

I'm thinking about moving all my sleeves to 2A.  It's not very noticeably firmer unless you have them side by side then you can slightly tell.  The stretch is the same but the tensile and tear strengths are improved.  It should help with the Diver's Helmet method and also some of the few sleeve tears people have had from the outer cup and inner girth sleeves

I posted on the phalback DIY Discord channel about some things.  I'll post them here eventually.
