Posted project update #2Completion!
Post CommentAs of today, the first Improbablecog Open Source Project has successfully completed!
As promised, the three pieces of jewelry that this project funded have been made available to produce at cost and can be found at http://www.shapeways.com/shops/improbablecog.
All the original files are now also available to download, use, modify, what have you, at http://www.thingiverse.com/improbablecog

Based on a work at www.thingiverse.com.Please respect the terms of the licenses when using these models in your own work. I'd also love to hear about anything you decide to do with them, so that I can link to you from my own website and help cross promote you :)
For backers: keep an eye on your email, as I will be contacting you soon for further information to start production on your rewards. Please be patient, as 3D printed metal items do take about a month to produce and send out. I think you'll find them well worth the wait though, as you will be among the first to receive the premium versions of these items.
Thanks again to everyone who mad this possible!

Posted project update #1New Shiny Stuff
We're now less than halfway through this Kickstarter project, and funding is already at 86% of the goal. To everyone who has donated, thank you so much!
At this point I want to let you know about an upgrade to the backer rewards, and talk a bit more about what will happen if this project exceeds the goal.
In the past week I have been working on a series of shiny polished jewelry, which will eventually be available for purchase as a premium product due to the copious amount of additional labor that goes into each piece. These will be the pieces that I continue to sell once the designs are open sourced and originals can be purchased at cost.
Now for the best part: every reward sent out to backers is now upgraded to be premium polished jewelry!
In addition, if the project exceeds the goal of $1500 before the end of the month, I will give everyone who is donating at the $100 level or above the opportunity to choose from ANY of the open sourced jewelry, including the bonus pieces listed at the end of the project description. So if it goes high enough, you may be able to pick from the Flora, Tendril, or Spine earrings, or grab a pair of Tentacle cufflinks (all shiny and polished, of course :) )
So tell your friends, and stay tuned to see how many additional pieces we can get open sourced!
