🐍 CobraPRESS Production Update — The Final Model Is Complete!
16 days ago – Wed, Sep 16, 2026 at 12:31:09 PM

Dear Amazing CobraPRESS Backers, ✨

I’m very excited to share a major milestone with you today — the final factory-produced CobraPRESS model is complete, and it’s looking great!

After all of the engineering, prototyping, tooling, testing, and fine-tuning, we now have the finished production model in hand. The final fit, finish, and presentation have come together beautifully.

Please see the images below for your first look at the completed factory-produced CobraPRESS!

I’m also excited to share that the retail box is finished and ready for production.

🐍 The Meaning Behind the New Box

You’ll notice something incorporated into the box design: the snake and staff —  a symbol of healing that dates back thousands of years.

The staff of Asclepius, the Greek god associated with medicine and healing, features a single snake wrapped around a staff and remains one of the most recognizable symbols of medicine today. The imagery of a serpent on a staff also appears in the biblical story of Moses and the bronze serpent.

For me, this symbolism captures an important part of the philosophy behind CobraPRESS: with the right understanding, ideas, and tools, we can help our bodies heal themselves.

CobraPRESS was created to give you a practical tool to better understand and work with your own body. Helping you precisely target areas of muscle tension and take an active role in how you feel and move.

🏭 We’re Going Into Production!

With the final model and packaging now approved, we’re officially ready to begin production. I’m sending the first purchase order to the factory, and the production process will begin.

What started as an idea, followed by countless prototypes and refinements, is now a finished product ready to be manufactured for all of you.

🐍 CobraPRESS Production Update — The Production Tools Are Complete!
3 months ago – Tue, Jul 14, 2026 at 08:49:14 AM

Dear Amazing CobraPRESS Backers, ✨

I wanted to share another exciting milestone as CobraPRESS continues moving toward production.

I’m pleased to let you know that the production tools have now been completed for the CobraPRESS components and are currently undergoing factory testing.

As you can see in the images below, CobraPRESS is made up of far more individual parts than most people would imagine. In total, the factory has now completed production tooling for seventeen individual components, each designed to work together to create the final product. Frankly, much more complexity and expense than expected! (CalfPRO® only required 5 components) 

The factory is now running the first test shots from these molds to verify that every component meets our specifications before moving into full production. This testing phase allows any small adjustments to be made before manufacturing begins at scale.

Looking back over the past several months, it’s amazing to see how far CobraPRESS has come. What began as sketches and 3D-printed prototypes has now become a complete production-ready product with professionally engineered components, manufacturing tools and retail packaging (Final iteration of the retail box design coming soon!).

Every refinement along the way has had one purpose: creating a tool that delivers deep, precise pressure into stubborn muscle knots with exceptional leverage, while remaining comfortable, balanced, and intuitive to use.... And, I can't wait to show you how to use it, at home on your couch or bed!

We’re getting closer with every update, and I’m excited to share the first molded production parts with you as soon as they’re approved.

Thank you once again for your incredible patience and for believing in CobraPRESS from the very beginning.

I am sincerely grateful for your continued support,

David.

P.S. Due to the increased cost of production, the retail price will be higher than anticipated. As such, the exclusive Kickstarter priced awards that are still available on this page will be discontinued shortly.

🐍 CobraPRESS Production Update — The 55-Day Tooling Phase.
4 months ago – Sun, Jun 07, 2026 at 07:33:23 AM

Dear Amazing CobraPRESS Backers, ✨

I wanted to share a quick progress update and give you a better sense of where we are in the production timeline.

As many of you will recall from previous updates, the two biggest challenges in this project were refining the click-release mechanism and ensuring the pyramid heads maintained the right weight, balance, and treatment feel when transitioning from 3D-printed prototypes to injection-molded production parts. Those refinements required several rounds of engineering, prototyping, and testing, which extended the tooling timeline.

Much of the CobraPRESS tooling was completed earlier in the project. The pyramid heads were the final components requiring additional engineering work, which is why they ultimately became the critical path to production.

We are now in what is largely a waiting period while the factory manufactures the production molds for the pyramid heads. This tooling process typically takes around 55 days, as the steel molds must be machined, assembled, polished, and tested before they are ready for manufacturing.

While the tooling process runs its course, we have been focusing our attention on the retail packaging, box design, and printing the "Quick Start Guide" card that will accompany your CobraPRESS. I’m excited to share some previews of those with you in the next update.

Once the tooling is completed, the factory will produce the first molded samples for inspection and approval. From there, we can make any final adjustments if needed before moving into production.

We have come a long way from the original prototypes, and every improvement has been made with one goal in mind: delivering a CobraPRESS that feels balanced, durable, and effective. Most importantly, it is designed to press deeply into stubborn, achy muscle knots with a level of precision and leverage that simply is not possible with your hands alone, making deep self-treatment easier and more effective than ever.

Thank you again for your patience, encouragement, and belief in this invention. While this stage requires some waiting, it also represents one of the final major milestones before production begins.

I look forward to sharing packaging previews and the first molded samples with you as soon as they are available.

I am sincerely grateful for your continued support,

David.
