Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

[youurayy]

To be clear, was this 4 weeks to build or 4 weeks to receive

Shipping times and customs government assessment times are not included in our build time estimate

Regardless, I do think we need to review the build time as I do not want to promote expectations that can be too difficult to achieve on a regular basis.

I'd rather estimate a build time of 3 weeks and deliver in 2 weeks.

Build time. Impressions were 3D and the shipping was fast, no probs there.
 
4 weeks still is a short time to wait for any custom work, but expectations should be managed.
 
Thanks for the Katanas!

whoa didnt know you can do 3d digital impressions with noble. where did you get yours done? and can it be used for regular acrylic models or is it for SLA ones only? i have an acrylic k10 on order and did my impressions the old fashioned way because i didnt know 3d digital ones can be used at noble. is 3d impressions better than traditional silicone ones?

I must really be out of the loop if Noble is now using 3d impressions.

I had my impressions done the classic way and then scanned (same shop) into the STL file format. It's a local company here in Greece specialized for hearing aids. I had to talk them into it basically. In USA / mainland EU I think you have the option of a direct 3D scan, not sure how reliable.
 
I was told 3D goes for SLA and Prestige, not the standard Custom.

3D is for Prestige Products
 
 
Honestly, 3D isn't really better than the old way of doing things.   In each build method, there is still a task that is performed based on subjectivity & experience.  With 3D the trimming of the ear impression 3d file is done with a mouse, while if being built by hand, the trimming is done by a dremel.  
 
The biggest difference in this step is....   if u trim too much off with a mouse, you can go back to the original file....  no harm done.   With a dremel......    no such luck

i see thx for clarifying. just a side question, do you keep impressions of past customers in archive or do i have to send new ones each time i order a noble ciem? with digital impressions of course it doesnt matter

WCDchee, if someone says something long enough, it may eventually come true.  
 
For example, I could repeatedly say, "It is going to rain....."       eventually it will rain, that is just nature at work
 
but that doesn't mean I know anything more about the weather than the next guy.

I got a cordless 110/220 volt for travel, hopefully I can hold him down long enough

Sad, I am 2 weeks late to the headphone festival.... Missed the opportunity to meet my idol (not that I would recognise the wizard if I saw him).
