Hey, What’s Up?

Check out these nice renders of the grinder that I’ve done yesterday.

I think this is look fantastic, but that’s just me, 🙂

I’ve done some minor changes today, and I believe I’ve reached the final design, now it’s prototype time, so yesterday I’ve sent few inquiries and researched few 3D printing, and laser cutting joints, priced the prototype, which is looking very responsible.

I’m going to show it to couple of friends before ordering the prototype, just need to sleep on it for few more nights, I keep on coming up with improvements every day after I’m done working, I was thinking I want to change the top to be transparent, so the user can see the herbs, elemenating the need to open the lid.

I still don’t know how to do that production wise, so maybe I will come up with something or it will be version two.

These renders are from yesterday, as I mentioned earlier, some changes has been done, so it’s looking a bit different now, will upload new renders soon.

I don’t know if I’m married to the logo yet, I guess this is the perfect time to consider changing it.

Well, that’s all for now, Peace ☮️

Hello, and Welcome to Cloud Riders Store, if this is your first visit, Where have you been? and if you’ve been following our prorgress, then; Thank you, and welcome back.

Okay,

the Grinder design is ready, well, according to me, I will sleep on it, and do some refinements tomorrow, and then send it to a friend of mine, whos job is product testing, maybe he will take a look at it, I’m sure he will find issues.

Nevertheless, this is as final as my ideas are at the moment, so here we go.

As you can see, I extended the height of the grinder by 6mm, it’s 45mm now and the diameter is 57mm, similar to the Mighty & Crafty filling device, so it will be part of the family, and fit right in with your Storz & Bickel accessories.

The grinding plates will be made of aluminium, the body of plastic, two magnets will be inserted in the grinding plates to give the grinder it’s authentic feel, the grinding wholes are 5mm, to ensure perfect blend for vaping.

I kept the original Mighty filling device feel and dimensions, not to copy Storz & Bickel, as much as to show admiration to their products, I just want to enhance the experience.

This is very close to prototype now, “I think, haha” maybe I’m far off, I still have to find a manufacturer, and decide on material and colours, not to say finish the design and add the logo, so maybe one more week.

But We’ve made it so far, and I really believe the first step is almost done, 🎉, to the next milestone, stay safe and peace ☮️.

Okay, are you ready for it?

I know no one is reading, but maybe No One will tell Some One from his family, and the One family will start talking about my grinder on social media, and from One to One, Every One will be reading, that was my stoned joke, but for now Hi and welcome, and as I said in the title, the new design is almost ready, and here is a peek.

So in this design, I’m going to use metal grinding plates, and plastic housing, this way we get a light weight functional grinder.

The design will need some more refinement tomorrow, look like the thread need some editing, and then I will start hunting for a manufacturers to make the prototype.

Soon this baby will be selling on Amazon, and Cloud Riders Store will be the first Storz&Bickel accessories store.

Until next time, ☮️

Another design has been scrapped.

As I mentioned in my first post, I was redesigning the grinder to be made out of acrylic, but I wasn’t completely sold on the acrylic teeth, so I started testing.

And immediately after testing few products I found that the herbs are getting stock between the teeth, because of the teeth shape, the pyramid shape, which is a must, due to the acrylic lack of strength, and this goes aginst the soul of my product,

Apart from comfort and convenience, a perfect grind and the minimising of herbs handeling, are the two main inspirations of my grinder.

So after a bit of brain storming and market research, I decided to use metal inserts, so the teeth and the plate will be made out of metal, and will be mounted inside a nice plastic hosing, which will make the grinder lighter and robust, while still provide a perfect blend so you can enjoy the flavour with your Mighty, Crafty or Volcano.

Below you can see the acrylic grinder design, the main parts will remain the same but the grinding part will be reconfigured.

to the next milestone then, thanks for reading and peace 🙂

Hello Everyone, and thanks for reading 🙂

A major concern when starting a business is branding, creating a name that’s easy to remember and relatable, sofor obvious reasons, Enfys Nest was out of the questions. Maybe a lead Product but not a brand name, on the other hand, I thought his helmet will represent the Cloud-Riders Store, and for that reason I developed this logo.

Now here in Cloud-Riders store, we don’t only sell accessories for Storz & Bickel Products like the Mighty, Cafty and Volcano, but we also care about your opinion in our branding, after all, these are intimate products that you will be caring around, and you should be proud of owning them, so please let us know your opinion in our first logo, this will be imposed on our products.

Thank you and see you soon.
