If this was standardized, you'd just buy a new blade/connector or jar from whoever, and in fact you'd have a wide choice of specialist jars and blades to choose from.
The concept of re:mix is great (and the name), but at €350 it's irrelevant. Make the standard open and free, maybe get EU persuade it's use, and let manufacturers build around it at realistic prices.
I think I could live with all the other components being metric, if they just had a way to work with standard U.S./Imperial containers as well.
Oh, and they need a 120VAC design for the motor and all the electronics inside.
Or, a design that can handle both 120VAC and 240VAC, as well as both 50hz and 60hz.
As far as I know mason jars (of that size) are the same everywhere so it should work with whatever containers decided to use that standard
> Oh, and they need a 120VAC design for the motor and all the electronics inside.
After reading the BOM it looks like the only electrical components are the limit switch, rotary switch, motor, and the support components soldered to the motor, so a 120VAC design would only need to replace those with equivalent 120VAC components.
> Or, a design that can handle both 120VAC and 240VAC, as well as both 50hz and 60hz.
AFAIK that would either be a 120VAC model with a PCB to compensate in 240VAC areas or a DC motor with PCB
Wow. Hopefully there's enough people willing to buy something like this so they can keep on going.
God speed
Let’s just say that hardware and I are not a good fit.
