Part 1 - Why does 1 Precious Noggles cost $100? $30 - Labor by Micro Recyclers around the world. Making recycled plastic Noggles requires dedication: - Sorting the plastic—choosing high-quality plastic is crucial for making recycled eyewear. - Cleaning the plastic—dirt can cause defects if not thoroughly cleaned. - Picking colors—some don’t bond well together, requiring testing. - Injecting plastic into the mold—incorrect pressure or temperature can cause failure. - Assembling lenses and temples—improper assembly can crack the Noggles. Every Precious Noggle is crafted with great attention to detail. Our production hubs: - Precious Plastic NYC (Bronx, USA) - Mad Plastic (Ericeira, Portugal) - Precious Plastic ES (Vitória, Brazil) Each location has its own operations and challenges. Right now, the production in Brazil needs better machinery to maintain Noggles production, so we’re dedicating Flows income to addressing these issues.

Yes, at least they are recycled again.

Making recycled plastic Noggles is not as easy as it looks. If the plastic isn’t properly cleaned, if it’s in poor condition, if the machine’s pressure isn’t high enough, if the temperature fluctuates, if the nozzle shape isn’t precise, or if the mold isn’t perfectly crafted, we end up with a lot of defects like this. Even a tiny crack can ruin an entire Noggle. Sometimes, it takes many failed attempts before we get a perfect one. As we progress, we constantly need to refine our machinery and tools to improve the process. With Flows we are gonna be able to make a new nozzle for the BR production inspired by the NYC production used during @nounstown.eth .

Plese vote on Flows to keep Precious Noggles funding. Prop 685 budget does not cover PN's production and development.

Voting has started today to keep Precious Noggles funded by Flows! Many community members are confusing the budget approved in Prop 685—which is dedicated to making prescription glasses for kids and a mobile clinic—with the production of Precious Noggles. To continue producing recycled plastic Noggles, we need Flows funding to invest in new machines, new molds, test new materials, maintain equipment, explore different sales strategies, and more. Vote here: https://flows.wtf/item/0xcc99dd05d11b3a0c09107901867b23549d827ad6d14e13740ad8762e94da42de Huge thanks to @rocketman, @gami.eth, @edunouns, @mikegood, and @satori for supporting us on Flows—I hope we can continue to count on your support!

@momotsuki, we were reviewing your proposal on Flows and noticed that the file you're using for the yellow Noggles image is actually @marinioac’s CC0 3D print file, funded by Lil Sisters (@lilnouns) in Dec 2022, as shown in the other picture. Since the file is CC0 and available for the community to print, we’d love to understand your plan for Flows funding. Could you share more details?

With Flows, we will be able to invest on new equipment, pay @marinioac and later send some PN to builders that can’t afford them.

Precious Noggles has always prioritized high-quality products and transparency. In early 2023, when we received 25 ETH from Nouns DCS, we committed to delivering 150 PNs. By the end of the year, with production running in NYC and Portugal, we had already delivered over 100. Since then, we’ve faced several challenges in setting up production in Brazil, but we finally have it up and running with @fcarva . We’re now heading to the post office to complete the distribution of all 150 PNs. Thank you for your patience and support!

Thanks for the support. There is so much effort put on all of our work and very little money. This kind of behavior towards active builders doesn’t make sense. I would like to see the same effort towards builders that walked away from the DAO with all the budget.
