53/11 nearly complete, waiting for final packaging... Dispatch this week
over 6 years ago – Tue, Aug 15, 2017 at 01:21:58 AM

Good Morning,

Everything is looking great with the final production... I think you'll be surprised by how it is totally silent. You can hardly feel or hear it when it spins. A definite improvement on our last iterations!

At this point, we are just waiting for a few final bits to arrive so that we can get everything packaged and dispatched!

I'll keep you updated this week when everything arrived and fingers crossed we can get it done y the en of the week!

Thanks again!

Final Production Version + Surveys Tonight & More!
over 6 years ago – Wed, Jul 12, 2017 at 04:26:10 PM

Good Morning!

I know we've been a little quiet lately, but we've been planning all of the production and we're pleased to say that it will be commencing at the end of the week once we have final numbers from the survey (Sending Tonight!). We also apologise that the survey has taken so long, we weren't aware of the timescale for Kickstarter to transfer funds and to get the final pledge numbers.

So, what have we been up to? For a starter, we've improved the product and the Final 53/11 Fidget Spinner Version is ready, here it is in Brass...

Final production version improvements:

  • Dramatically improved the machining quality.
  • Improved the button design, it is now flush and fits with the 53/11 much better, this allows us to get a better gradient so it matches with the gradient of the spinner design.
  • We've finalised the roundness of the edges of the spinner and it's perfect to spin now.

Packaging:

  • Custom foam has been cut for the spinner to allow for a perfect fit and for ease of use. 
  • We've worked with a supplier to get the perfect tin that has a micro-bezel and clear top, so you can see the spinner in all its glory.
  • We've designed and prototypes many labels and went with a simple black stripe. The labels most likely be transparent in the final version, with black text and lines + Kickstarter logo.
  • Certificates of authentic are still being designed, we're looking for it to be a small circular or 53/11 shaped card insert for the tin
  • We've already have 250 of the tins packed waiting for the spinners and labels, so they'll be with you as soon as possible.

The Survey (TONIGHT):

The survey will be going out tonight... We've worked with Backerkit to provide you with the best survey experience possible. 

You'll get the chance to edit your pledge on the Survey and to get add-ons, if you want to change the buttons, the body or order extra buttons or bearings etc, you can do this all via the survey! 

If you have any questions, message us or comment on the Kickstarter campaign page and we will reply as soon as possible!

THANK YOU!

We've just reached the stretch goal of £7,000/$9000 which unlocked the full brass versions of the 53/11 fidget spinner.

We've put a few options for mix and matching the materials and I've priced them at the same rate as the"Early Bird Special".

We've also added 53 more Spinners to the sold-out full Steel Tier. So get them quickly before they sell out again :)
