You spoke. We listened.

Let’s address the two main points of feedback - “price could be lower” and “someone already makes this for $20”.

We’re waiting, and working on bringing it down. It will depend on pre-order numbers.

How can you help? “Price needs to be lower” - by itself isn’t a helpful comment. Obviously, that would always be great.

If you’re interested - please let us know 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 what price you’re hoping for. Is your price point $50? Are you more interested in pure function? Happy to sacrifice some finish quality? Maybe for those people, we need to look at cheaper manufacturing methods.

There seems to be a misunderstanding here. Unlike the Etsy links shared to us - our design is not a free file off Thingyverse. And we are not 3D printing it in our bedroom.

If someone is satisfied with stringy layer lines, bare-minimum material and a free public file being printed for $2 - that’s ok. Please understand that it’s a different level of product.

We love our FDM 3D printer, although we mostly use it for prototyping. For us personally, it doesn’t feel right to ask people to run a cheap, rough, prototype-like product on their pride-and-joy.

We get excited about delivering a high-quality, uncommon product. We’re aiming for injection-moulding or aluminium cast quality, at much smaller run numbers. Nobody else is doing that.

…

Hopefully that clears the air. We’re not trying to sell a $20 product for $100. We’re trying to deliver something that would normally cost $150-200, or require 100+ unit runs, down to $80-100.

…

We’ll be running a poll, to zone in on exactly what you guys to are hoping to get, and how we can achieve it. Keep an eye out 🙂
