Thanks! Your feedback has been tremendous through this. Maybe I'll toss some filament in or box or something

We'll be releasing more kits today at around 4pm EST. Wanted to take some time to be sure the path forward was the way to go, and things didnt become too fragmented or the workload too great.

Congrats on the KS - I predict that you're going to be swamped!
Thanks! This has far exceeded our expectations, though we did discuss the possibility of such an outcome and prepare accordingly.

Congrats on first day success!
Thank you!

All the early stuff went fast. I got in on one of the $200 kit. Thanks again for all the work you and the beta guys put in.

The thanks really go to the beta guys - without their feedback and support, it would have been much harder to get to where we are today.

Thanks!

Disappointingly I was asleep while that happened, and I really wanted a kit, not fully assembled as I'm in the UK so it puts the price out of my budget.
Will you be releasing full plans as open source?
I'm not sure I can wait till after this round of fulfilment to get a kit. (Or can you add more kits)
Craig
Releasing more kits today at 4pm EST. We should be able to fulfill the next batch sooner than we state (ship date estimate will be June for the next round of kits), but no promises.

We will see! One thing I can say is that I'm thankful my design doesn't need any plasma cutting or welding.

4x the goal in less than 24 hours that is good going.
Like Craig I will have to wait until more kits come out to make everything better to get over to the UK.
Carry on the great work.
Thanks! More kits soon!
