After working on something for so long it can become a little bit difficult to let it go. My main purpose for a long time now has been getting the engineering design finished. Sure, there was a lot of other things to do, but it was all about the product.
We (well, it was me really) made a mistake with the electronics and ordered the prototype PCBs twice as thick as they should have been so we've lost about a month while we get a new set made. Nevertheless, when we put all the mechanical components together, it all works just as it should. Maybe there are a few things that could be tweaked a little, but that is it really; the design is finished.

Statements like that do of course tempt Murphy's law to do it's worst. The electronics worked on the previous prototype so should be fine now but we're still preparing for some unanticipated disaster.
The immediate difficulty for me though is not opening up the design software and looking for something that needs changing.
