 Dear Backers,

First of all, the big news: we are so glad to announce all orders are shipped!. Many of you have already received your pieces and we are getting so many lovely messages! Thanks, please keep sharing, we love hearing about it!

If you haven't received your pieces or your tracking yet, shortly you will receive the tracking number to follow up your package. You can track it in this website:
https://www.correosdemexico.gob.mx/SSLServicios/SeguimientoEnvio/Seguimiento.aspx

Because we shipped so many packages at the same time, the postal service takes a while registering the tracking numbers, once it arrives at your country you can use your national postal website to track them. They take about 4 weeks to arrive and we'll keep checking the messages and comments daily, so if you need anything or you are concerned about your order please send us a message and we'll be glad to help you.

If you've been following our progress, you know that we faced some of the same issues other campaigns face, fortunately, we were able to solve them, and in the process found stronger partners and stronger process, and now that shipping is 100% done, we have some great news!

The truth is, we didn't do this alone, we want to thank our friends at Matter Collection, they contacted us when we were having troubles and helped us find a great manufacturing partner and developed a robust logistics workflow too. After seeing the great job they did and their high-quality standards, we decided to join forces with them and continue to sell the Sphericon and Hexasphericon exclusively under their brand.

If you already received your order, you are also familiar with the quality that we are able to offer together, and we look forward to integrating even more pieces in the future. 

Right now, they are running their first campaign, they searched for the Ultimate Solid of Constant Width and they found it! If you haven't seen it already, check it out! I'm sure you will love those pieces too.
 

We have many surprises in the works and very excited about the future!
 

Thanks a lot for your support!
 

Miguel and The Sphericon Team

Dear Backers,

The production is over! I received a video of our manufacturer last week, the pieces in the video weren't polished or brushed, but they told me they are ready now!

Everyone in China is celebrating New Year and enjoying a well deserved holiday, that means we have to wait until Feb 15 for the shipping, but we'll start working on the wooden bases, that way once we receive the pieces we can ship all the orders.

We're really excited to share this with you!

Best,

Miguel


P.S.

I just locked orders and charged cards in Backerkit, so you will probably receive an email about it. If you want to change your address you can still do it in Backerkit. 

Production news!

Dear backers, 

Hope you had a great holiday season!

I've been talking with our manufacturer about the production and it seems like everything is going as planned, they even sent us a picture. 

These are the copper pieces machined only from the top, the next step is to turn it upside down and machine the lower part.  

We already did the bluing finish for the sample piece they gave us and it looks amazing! 

I'll keep you posted! 

Cheers, 

Miguel
