Indie dev pulls all-nighter assembling pneumatic control box for new MicroFactory bound for England

Indie developer viktorvrp shares a shipping crunch: at midnight he still needed to assemble a control box with pneumatics for the new MicroFactory version, flying to England the next morning — with no internal layout planned. Update: he hadn't even started when he first posted, having spent three hours finishing the CAD for their automated screwdriver first. The photo shows the raw chassis, fans, solenoid valves, suction cups and tools laid out mid-build — a glimpse of real hardware-startup delivery cadence.
