More Kickstarter Rewards!

Y rail clamping systemI’ve been getting a lot of questions about the $600 reward on my Kickstarter Project.

Many people were asking if the MDO pieces came with any mechanical components as well, which they do not.  However, as the questions kept coming (long after I added the answer to the FAQ section), I realized that people might want this option.

I had held off on this before now because most of the necessary hardware can be bought locally.  However, I also know that those parts that cannot be sourced locally can be a royal pain to find.

I eventually decided to bite the bullet: I did some research, found some additional sources of various parts, crunched some numbers, and finally came up with two new rewards:

The first kit, available at the $2500 level, will have all the mechanical parts necessary to build a Kikori gantry.  This means it comes will all the nuts, bolts, cross-dowels, aluminum rails, sprockets, roller chain, and other various mechanical bits that are needed to put a Kikori gantry together, as well as the MDO gantry pieces themselves.

The second kit will be available for $3300, and will have everything the first one does plus the stepper motors, electronics, cables, and router!

Neither kit comes with a computer or a table, since the former depends on personal taste and the latter would be far too big to ship.

What do you think?  Are there other possible combinations you’d like to see?  Let me know!
