Update #13: Gratuitous Shipping Delays!

Posted on April 3

I've spent the last few days on the phone with Stamps.com (Tech support there is very helpful, btw) trying to print a batch over over 160 stamps, shipping labels, and associated customs forms.  (Personal note to anyone who's listening: SDC-3110 3-part labels cannot be used in batch mode...no matter how much that doesn't make sense!)

Instead of attemping to track all of those by hand (going for zero errors), I decided to order a Dymo labelwriter and some 7.5" long shipping labels.  Now, everything can fit in one spot, and still fit on a poster tube.  Guaranteed to arrive tomorrow - it'll blaze them out 51x faster than I can stick em!

For everyone else: It's not too late to get your order in: http://shop.zarthcode.com

      And by "arrive tomorrow", I mean the printer - posters should be out the door thursday and friday!

      I got mine in the mail last week. They look great. Well done, Anthony. Thanks again!

Update #12: The webstore is OPEN! Plus: Backer posters are now shipping!

Posted on March 27

It's finally drawing to a close! 

I've setup http://shop.zarthcode.com to sell the remaining posters. There are only 63 unclaimed sets, packed and ready to ship at this very moment, so get on it if you want to receive your set along w/the backers!  They are priced at $27 per set with FREE shipping within the US.

I didn't anticipate that I didn't order the shipping labels needed - so there has been a delay in printing postage.  That's all taken care of now, so it's simply a matter of getting the labels printed, taping the ends, and sending it out of the door on friday!  If you're in the US, expect to receive them sometime next week.

Eventually, I'll probably post a retrospective about this experience on my blog - there has been plenty of good & bad, and learning throughout!

Thank you all for this awesome experience, it couldn't have happened without your support.

      Looking forward to the post-Kickstarter impressions of the experience. Oh, and looking forward to my posters!

Update #11: All backer posters are ready to ship!

Posted on March 23

Sorry for the lack of updates!  All of the backer posters are *finally* packed and ready to ship!  Just need to make all of the postage/labels printed. (I expect them to be out of the door monday.)  This kickstarter is days away from being completely finished!

In an effort to make sure it all got done on time, I've had to eschew the extras (like desktop resolution versions of the posters) for now, and concentrate on getting the posters done.  I hope you like them!

Tonight, I'll be working on getting a store up for others to purchase a set.  There were lots of requests to simply give away the files so they can be printed elsewhere.  But the pricing I got was so great that I ordered plenty of extras, so I'd like to continue selling them myself, as a set - as they were meant to be. 

This set managed to consume the entire wall!  If they continue to move, I'll create another set to address the other subjects.  Once everything is done, I'll be posting another update.

Update #10: Inductance & Capacitance Posters Are Here!

Posted on March 12

The capacitance and inductance posters are here!  The transistors poster (after a bit of rework) has shipped, and the microcontroller reference is still printing.

I've noticed that none of them quite translate well to desktop resolutions - making background images would simply require a brand-new layout for nearly all of the posters. Aspect is another issue, that can only be solved by simply making a completely different drawing.

Once all of the posters have arrived, I'll be spending the next few days stuffing and mailing tubes.  More photos/videos as the posters arrive this week.
