Can you comment on the compatibility with other 3.5mm tips like the TS80/TS80P?

Will there be other tip shapes available?

Is the tip design patented (and enforced) or will you allow for 3rd party tips?

We did not patent the tip design, anyone is welcome to make third party tips.

Tips we'll have at launch: Cone, Bevel 1.5, Wedge 1.5, Point, Bevel 2.6, Knife 2.5, Knife 1.4

We made some different electrical design decisions than they did. TS-80 tips aren't rated for the power that we're putting out, so being compatible with the TS-80 tips could be pretty sketchy.
