Every little bit helps us get closer to our funding goal! Your high-five is met with our heartfelt gratitude as we seek to make it easier for everyone (both kids and adults) to visualize, play with, and create their own geodesic structures.

EFFALO was chartered to synthesize, modulate, and deploy multimodal interaction environments that promote expressive feedback between humans, nature and technology.
Don't know if you've tried (or can use) shapeways dot com -- came across their site today. They also do 3D metal objects.
seems you made it :-)
I'd love to get my hands on your printed connectors, but not sure I want to go up to the $300 level until I've tried them. Also interested to see if you come up with a time-efficient covering method after this. A 3 frequency dome, in particular, seems to take forever to cover, no matter how you do it (short of a parachute, which as the many noted downsides).
There seems to be a flaw here in the ability to add to a reward. If I try to add say $6, there is really no way to do that. I tried adding another reward such as access to the site but that didn't work because it wiped out my original reward for $189. What I'd like is to add $6 and also $19 for the site access.
