Update #17: Stamped Brackets!
Posted on March 23, 2010
Hello MakerBeamers! Thank you so much for your patience as late becomes later. We're doing everything in our power to make sure we can ship as soon as possible once all of our components are in place.
We have good news, however, as the stamped brackets are just rolling off the line.
While we can't yet set a shipping date, we're getting closer to actually shipping with every day that passes, and we're happy with the results we're getting. We hope you will be as well!
Everyone who has contacted us has been polite, encouraging, and excited to see their Beta kits actually ship. It won't be long now!
