Title: 12.3 - We made it!
Post by: madbean on December 03, 2013, 03:28:13 PM
I'm pleased to announce after taking into account fees and postage purchased thus far, we have reached our fundraising goal of $3000 for Function F(x)! Thanks to this community, we will be able to move forward with our plans for a laser engraver. If you have seen any of pickdropper's builds, then you know just how awesome this will be for our products.

I can't say enough about the DIY community. You guys gave generously, and we are incredibly thankful for it! You've helped play a large role in making this happen for us. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The Fundraiser page is still open for now, but is officially over as we have reached our goal. This means if you missed out, there's still a chance to purchase the PCB packs but maybe not much longer. I will be doing the final tally on left-over PCBs and we will discuss in a couple of days what to do with them. Possibly we will offer the remainders for sale as individuals but I cannot say ATM until the team decides.

Lastly, I will be working on getting the remaining packets out today. There will also be some thank you cards sent out for the folks who made donations in a few more days, so please be on the lookout.

Congrats!

The boards look great, and having breadboarded yours and Forrest's designs over the weekend, they sound great, too. I have big plans for the SMD pcb. :)

Congrats...Its of no use to me but have you considered getting the most use out of the laser engraver by selling coated boxes engraved to customers specs? I am sure there would be a few takers on here

I am so glad this all worked out for you guys. All of you are a critical part of the DIY scene and have helped people like me more than you know. What started as a dare is now a main hobby that brings me much joy. I am excited to see what comes from your collaboration over the next year and years to come.

This makes me happy :). I'm eager to see what cames out of your minds/hands and only hope shipping to Spain won't get too high

Thanks guys, we're looking forward to getting everything up and running.

Btw, it isn't hard to operate the laser.  The difficult part is strapping it to the shark.

QuoteYou know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads!

Thanks pickdropper, you just made my night! still catching my breath......  :D
