Looks great! One item of note to everyone is: There are two "pockets" in the Slide and Snap. The inner pocket (beginning about an inch from the end) is where one slides the insert into/out of the ZCI. If one tries to slide the insert out of/partially out of the Snap pocket (the pocket on the end), it won't go as well.
Enjoy and thanks for posting!

Nice! I look forward to hearing about everyone's thoughts on the use of the Slide and Snap feature. I guess that might take time since there's no reason to change the insert immediately.
Looks great!

Recycling an old post. Has anybody heard from this guy. I made a purchase in April of this year, paid for in advance and no word from them in A8 months. Bad businessman.

Can't help you out, but he hasn't been active here since 2021.

Active or inactive, if 8 months have passed with no responses from the vendor (his website has no phone # listed), the chances of getting the purchase or a refund are next to zero, I'm afraid.

Something like this happened years ago with a premium handsaw maker and vendor who took money but failed to respond to his customers.

If they're out of business, that's too bad as I thought they had some good and useful products.

His contractors permit lapsed a couple of months ago, although the compnay appears to still have insurance coverage. Mind you, the LLC is registered as a contractor.
Seems there is something persobal going on, but I am not into speculation, so…
It is a shame the company is on hiatus, b/c their ZCI for the Kapex is a pretty good product. I have three spare inserts, so okay for a while.

I put in a Colliflower order on Oct 10… and sent a status inquiry on Oct 29, and got a same day auto response, and the live response the next day. I emailed back that I wasn’t in a hurry, just wanted to make sure the order hadn’t fallen through a crack in that AWS outage. I received everything around Nov 10th I think…

PS, I’m quite happy with the product.
