Shipping Takes Off On Black Friday
over 2 years ago – Fri, Nov 17, 2023 at 12:43:41 PM

Hi Bladers! 

Welcome to V10.0, as promised in our previous update, general shipping kicks off on Black Friday, November 24th, just one week from now. Initial shipments will be handled manually, with our shipping provider taking over in the first week of December. The long-awaited moment has arrived, and for those who haven't participated in the early beta-testers program, it's time to gear up for setting up your clusters.

The shipping schedule behind Team Cluster pledge levels will follow the same order as announced on Kickstarter. Starting on Black Friday, Team Cluster pledge levels will start, and in mid-December, Dev Batch 00 fulfillment will commence. This will be followed in early January by Batch 01 and 10-inch Rack Cluster fulfillment. At the end of January, 19-inch levels will be shipped out, and starting from beginning of February, all remaining orders will be fulfilled.

We're eagerly anticipating the exciting projects that will unfold on Discord. As many of you have likely seen on our Discord channel, Ivan has successfully validated the latest mass-production version of the smart fan-unit. Everything has been confirmed, which means the smart Fan unit under version V1.1 is already being produced in the first batch of 1,000 units.

With more universities, companies, and distributors joining the project, we're thrilled to announce that additional modules will be released next year, alongside the shared management software solution. If you haven't upgraded your fan unit to a smart fan unit yet, you can still do so through our backerkit pre-order store. It's entirely optional, but in response to numerous inquiries over the past week, we've reopened the pre-order store due to the availability of critical components.

Once you have your blades in hand, please continue to share your feedback on Discord and showcase your projects within the community. We can't wait to see what innovative creations and collaborations will emerge!
