Order Status (Under Construction)

Update 7/14/25 - It took me a few extra days last week to complete June orders so I am a few days behind where I wanted to be.  I did however negotiate a weekend home without travel so I should be able to catch up quite a bit this weekend.  I am getting very quick at making the pad bases but the inserts are still the bottleneck.  I have quite a few pads done but cannot ship any orders yet as I'm working on compiling the rest of the components for the sets (mainly inserts and gaskets).  I will probably have to up the combo pad pricing to 40$ next month as this is a lot of manual work to make the different pieces.  The inserts will stay the same price for additional add ins.  Overall, it's still the best available deal for Pt silicone pads, market wise.  I'm also going to be working on getting my CNC running this weekend to make some of the bat ring molds a bit tidier so I can pump those out without having to remove flashing like I do for the bigger components.  Then comes the work of remaking all the molds but machined while also trying to work on a few newer ideas for PE things :) fun times ahead!

​

Update 7/7/25 - Pre-orders for July are open today at 12PM EST for the Combo Pad and Middle Reliever.  I'll target about 50 pads and however many MR sleeves.  I'm traveling every weekend so I will lose quite a bit of processing time this month.  For this pre-order, I will ship out what I make during the week on the following Monday so everyone isn't waiting for the end to receive them (though some will).  I'm trying to improve the processing time for the Combo pad as it's very labor intensive since it's a kit rather than a singular component.  Until I get faster, I appreciate the patience I've seen so far from most everyone!

​

I have all but a few of the components made for the remaining June orders and will compile and ship them today.  I may miss a handful but those will ship tomorrow. 

​

Update 7/3/25 - I apologize for the delay on the orders post June 15!  I was unable to get all the orders out before I have to leave for travel over the weekend.  Everything will ship out Monday July 7th.  I've had batch failures this week which has put me behind schedule so again, apologies for the delay but I hope all my US folks enjoy the holiday weekend!

​

Update 6/30/25 - I have about half the orders made for the remainder of the June orders.  I hope to have all of them filled and shipped before Thursday 7/3 as I will be traveling.  The pad colors are going to be a bit of a mix between gold and blue.  I had to make a plethora of batches trying to get rid of a magical bubble issue so I have many gold sleeves and inserts.  I'd love to mix colors for pads and inserts so I have more room for bulk mindless injecting but not yet.

​

Update 6/23/25 - I am a little behind on current orders but catching up in the next few days.  I had a bit of a fuck up trying to quicken the curing process and melted quite a few molds in my new curing oven.  It's an overall good thing since I decided to move to a higher heat deflection temperature material for the 3D printed molds (PC).  Should help with some dimensional consistency under compression especially when lightly heating for the faster curing.  I'll be moving to CNC aluminum or ABS/PC/other polymer soon for the molds as I get more comfortable with all the mold details (sprue, injection method, runners, etc).  Cutting flashing is the most time consuming part of the process now so once I move the machined molds, I'll be much higher capacity :).  I can also move to active heating while injecting for aluminum molds.  Fun times ahead.

​

I'm currently wrapping up the orders from 6/4 and will be able to do the 6/9 orders this week.  I accepted 3x more Combo pad orders than I intended week of 6/4 so I apologize for the delay!  I am hoping to get the 6/16 MR and Pads by the end of next week.

-----

Update 6/16/25 -  More Combo pads available today, June 16th (Happy Post Father's Day!).  Pads and sleeves from 6/4 listing will be finished by Tuesday, shipping by Wednesday 6/18.

Sleeves from 6/9 will be made this week as I catch up and get closer to 1 week prior to shipping rather than 2.  Getting faster!

​

In order to provide enough options per sizing, I may turn to doing monthly "pre-orders" where I gather orders on the 1st and ship out end of the month.  This gives me a bit more manual control over the total number of orders as this eshop software does not allow control of total orders, instead only allowing limiting inventory based on individual variants.

Update 6/23/25 - See general update above

Update 6/16/25 - See general update above

​

Update 6/1/25 - Sleeve orders from 5/26 are behind due to family in town.  I'll try and get those out by this Friday.  I'll be doing a smaller sleeve batch this week to provide catch up time for previous batch.

​

Update 5/26/25 - Sleeves from 5/19 should ship by 5/28 (Wed) this week.  I have family coming to stay with us this weekend so the batch size for 5/26 will be slightly smaller.

​

Update 5/19/25 - All MR sleeves from 5/12 orders were completed but need to be cut/finished/packaged today.  They will be shipping tomorrow.  Again, I went with a safe color Space Walk (Navy, search it on MadMica.com if you'd like to see it or any of the other colors I use, they're mostly from MadMica or a combo of mica and silicone pigments)

​

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 6/23/25 - See general update above

​

Update 6/16/25 - See general update above

​

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.

Pump Sleeve Collaboration

Working with Fkn Mint on a pump sleeve design.  Details TBD!

​

DIY Glans Cap Method

This one probably won't be something I sell since I found a kit commercially available that's small enough and within a reasonable price range (less than 20$).  I hope it works since it'd be a very good solution vs. me making a silicone formulation in bulk and shipping it in small packages.  Once I get some time for my own I'll test it out and post about the method if it works.

​

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.​

Universal RIVE Adapter for Extenders

Jumping on the idea from Karl, this RIVE adapter would be to use the vacuum pump to control the pulling program/tension.  Fun idea that Total Man started with so this may not be something I pursue, but in the meantime it's fun to play with!
