What an amazing video! Thank you for sharing Clive! I wonder how long does the whole process take (I missed it if they mentioned it).

My pleasure Serg

I would love to see how they actually manufacture all of those tiny components. I'm not sure how long the entire process takes, but I'm guessing they don't rush it! Also requires a much steadier hand than mine
