    Hi backers,
    We just received the first shipment of our smaller injection molded parts! This includes everything but the top encasing and bottom encasing-We expect to get a small shipment of those by air next week. We will keep you updated on that. The smaller parts look great and fit perfectly! Here are some pictures and we will also upload pictures once we have a batch of these printers fully assembled without the encasings. Stay tuned! Exciting stuff approaching. Thank you again for hanging in there with us backers. You all are amazing.

    I'm curious to exactly how many sets of parts there are?

    They said a couple hundred I know it is pretty vague but at least it is something I don't think anyone knows exactly what number they are so a round figure like a couple hundred should answer most people who want to know if it soon for them or not.

    Well I hope they get more in when they get the cases in(soon I hope) since there are 352 March and April printers.

    Hey Seshan, I just counted it 2 times, there are actually 252 March and April backers, those are backers of either full kits, or assembled products. I'm sure (I can get clarification) there is enough for those backers.

    Would love to see clarification on whether there'll be enough to cover all of March and April, as I'm pretty sure I'm the very last one in the queue for April. :)

    The parts look great! Hopefully the factory minimum run was at least 2000 pcs. LOL. You're gonna need 'em! Keep moving guys- please make sure you take the time to make them right - despite all of us wanting our printers yesterday. :D

    Is it safe to assume that as far as the kits are concerned, as soon as the casings arrive they are ready to ship?

    Sorry, don't mean to be pushy. I will just be out of the country for two and a half weeks as from early 1st July(getting married) and I'm worried that if the package arrives just after I leave, it might get returned to the US before I get back...

    Sorry, I guess I was a little confusing there..
    I'm also concerned that if these printers don't ship soon I wont be there to receive it because I'm going to be away on a month long job doing a Discovery Channel show about rescuing a B25 Mitchell bomber from the bush in Alaska..
