You should become an alpha tester!

I just nabbed a cheap one as well. Happy to join the community.

Question for you though: it appears to be just an inch too big to fit into my building. How difficult is it to split into manageable chunks. Do the 4 modules separate without too much hassle, or are we talking full teardown?

You can cut it down the middle but there is quite a lot to move out of the way first. The microscope and power supplies are on the left and the rest is on the right. If you are only an inch out then it may be enough just to take the plastic panels off.

It's pretty modular. Urs Gaudenz removed the fluidic pump and fridge on his to reduce the size.

Where's the best place to chat with the community? Got a slack channel or anything?

sweet! I was hoping it could be disconnected down the middle. I'll have to reach out and see how involved that was.
