Aside from the fact that this is a rebrand effort and probably not TE's manufacturing, their mainline products have particularly high quality design.

I've been watching a lot of AvE[1] lately, and his BOLTR series features him breaking down hardware and talking about the manufacturing.

While Teenage Engineering wank is definitely not his category of analysis, it's probably not far off, considering he highlighted how spotty the Dyson product line is. I'd love to see him disassemble something like the OP-1.

Edit: Missing link reference.

Apparently, OP-1s use CNC'd solid block aluminum machining![2]

It's a shame he doesn't do many BOLTRs anymore. His output slowly petered out during COVID.


I think he got enough patreon types that he basically moved all his effort over there. He bought a CNC machine for the channel and then focused on the people who gave him the money for it.


Yea, that CNC machine kind of killed the YouTube channel IMHO


What’s AvE? You left off the link. Sounds interesting, want to watch the Dyson teardown!


Sorry about that! Thanks for pointing it out. Viewer discretion: language.
