I just backed the Maslow 4.1 Kickstarter campaign and want to make sure I understood it correctly. I supported the full upgrade, $85 am I understanding that with that support I will be mailed an upgrade kit to completely upgrade my Maslow 4? I only ask cause on the Kickstarter page there was no place to input an address for shipping…Will Bar or someone from the Maslow team be contacting me to get my address?
TIA
Chuck
Yes, you are correct. The full upgrade kit ($60 + shipping) includes everything that you need to upgrade your kit from Maslow 4 to 4.1.
Once we have the parts all manufactured we will send out a survey from Kickstarter requesting everyone’s addresses. They only let us send it once so we want to do it right before we ship incase someone moves addresses or something. It will arrive as an email in your inbox.
Ok cool! I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t being to obtuse! I will await that email then!
Thanks again!

Hi Bar, Anna, I am just wondering if there’s any way I can add two or three of the new 1/8 bits to my 4.1 Kickstarter Reward? It’d be very convenient to not need to pay additional postage and fees for shipping to EU of such cheap and small items!
EDIT: But just realised that is probably not possible if the upgrade is shipping directly to me from China - sorry!
Unfortunately you are right, but we wish we could!
Since you got many times the amount you were shooting for on the Kickstarter, I’m wondering if you have any interesting plans above and beyond the ones you originally had. 
Obviously a fair chunk will be going towards backer rewards, but any other tweaks, innovations, etc. that you’re planning? If it’s going towards keeping the lights on, that’s cool too. 
Great question! The main goal is just to keep the lights on and keep innovating. There’s a lot of work to be done on generally improving the firmware and user experience. We’ve got some exciting stuff on the CAD/CAM side in the works and ultimately we’d love to be able to do a version the the machine that comes not as a kit…that being said it seems like a lot of money, but after all the expenses that go into shipping the kits it’s really just enough money to keep the lights on for six months or so which isn’t too much longer than it will take to ship the KS kits so we’re not planning to do anything crazy 
Does it still look like sometime in February for delivery? From the KS update it looks like things are going pretty well, so I’m guessing there’s no reason it would need to be pushed back. I realize things could change if something comes up, just want to know if the timeline currently still looks good.
FWIW, I work in IT so I know about timelines changing with changing conditions and priorities. I’m not expecting a solid date. I’m just wondering if the estimate still looks good now that things are in motion.
February is still 100% the goal. We’ll keep you updated every Wednesday if anything comes up that seems like it could impact that. It’s a tight timeline, but we’ve done it before so it should be possible.
