This is an update for our Magnet Kickstarter backers as we take a look at some new samples, and get ready for the production run. If you've wondered why making the Magnet is so complicated, and has taken so long, this is a detailed technical look at the challenges of injection molding this complicated little device. Intro tune is just a progression we came up with while filming, and a comp of a few takes of figuring out some cool licks to play over it.
