Progress Report
10 months ago – Sun, Nov 19, 2023 at 01:35:08 PM

We understand some of you may feel we don't post frequent updates and indeed, we try to minimize the noise in your inbox.

But we need to share with you where we are at this point:

I'm very happy to report that not only all keychains have been produced and shipped in time despite a failure in the Laser Chiller, but we also finalized the Poster design so we should have also no problem shipping it by our estimated deadline of December.

We also ordered and received some more 3D printers (which are already busy printing non-stop the few 3D printed parts we require) and ordered and received most raw materials we will need to fulfill.

We haven't started laser cutting the gears as we just received the raw material.

And we still have close to a 1000 Brass axles and Brass rods to produce for you.

You should expect another update from us in the new year.

- Marc and the S&T Team.

BackerKit surveys are coming!
12 months ago – Fri, Sep 29, 2023 at 09:30:18 AM

Soon, you’ll receive an email from us with a special link to your BackerKit survey. It’s important to respond to your survey as quickly as you can since we need this information to fulfill your rewards.

You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey. When you receive the email with the survey, click the survey link to respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you like. You don’t have access to this survey link yet, but it will be available soon via email!

After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your responses at any time before we close the surveys and get our final counts.

If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://open-antikythera.backerkit.com.

If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at https://open-antikythera.backerkit.com/faq.

Attention backers:

We thank you for your support and your contributions to our project.  We are so excited to be TRIPLE FULLY FUNDED and we promise to be good stewards of your patronage. A few things will happen before we can kick off production and fulfillment. Here's what you need to know:

First, Kickstarter needs to transfer over the funds so we have the money to make the rewards (this can take a few weeks).

Second, we have to find out a few things from you. We’ll send out a BackerKit survey to collect this information. You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to answer your survey. The invitation email contains a link to your personal survey. It is important to submit your responses as quickly as you can since we need this information to process your rewards.

If you need to change your survey responses, purchase add-on items, or update your shipping information, you can click the link in your survey email again or request your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page. (This page will only start working after we send the surveys out.)

Answering your survey help us get your rewards out to you faster. BackerKit helps us save lots of time by streamlining the survey process, automating data organization, and providing us with pledge management software to make it easy to process your pledge reward shipments.

If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter or BackerKit account, the BackerKit survey link is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact me.

Again, thanks for all your support. We can’t wait to send you your Open Antikythera :)

-Marc Tessier, S&T Geotronics

We are ecstatic that we met our initial goal in 6 days! The party's not over yet, let's take it to the next level! We are aiming much higher - brass gears, anybody?  

Please share the campaign with your networks: We're all in this together!

THANK YOU!!!
