STL's are almost here! + Late Pledge Update
about 3 years ago – Thu, Feb 04, 2021 at 01:56:27 PM

Hello everyone!

Hope you all are having an amazing week.

A little update regarding Tenjin STL, we have been running 24/7 tests on all pre-supports parts to double-check for any unexpected issues, and so far we've got only positive results! Now, we will be sending the files one day later than expected due to some final tests around the sword, so for those who pledged for the STL's get ready to check your email on the 6th of February for the download link!

Here is a picture of some test parts we have been focusing on, they have been printed on Elegoo Saturn and Elegoo Mars 2 Pro with ESUN Washable Resin Grey. We recommend for those wanting to use the LED lights to print the Soul Amber and Sword with Clear resins for maximum effect.

On another topic, we have found out that we can't send the Tenjin files for our late backers without closing the Late Pledge, so unfortunately we will need to close it earlier than expected :(

Therefore the Late Pledge will be locked from the 6th of February which should give extra time for those wanting to jump in and secure all Kickstarter Exclusive rewards. I.e. this is the last chance to get Kojiro Fox, Kojiro Panther, Portal Base, Corrupted Tenjin, and the resin options Cursed Scholar/Soul Collector!


obs: Pledge Manager is still scheduled to remain open until the 3rd of May


Best regards,

Luiz Lima

Pledge Manager & Late Pledge are live!
over 3 years ago – Sat, Jan 23, 2021 at 06:31:43 PM

Hello beautiful people!

We are happy to announce that the Pledge Manager is now Live!

We are also bringing the option of late pledge for those who lost the chance to get Tenjin and its exclusive rewards.

This decision was made because with this being our first Ancestor, we didn't get to reach many people. So we are extending his rewards time a bit more.

On another topic, regarding your questions about STL files, we are using Chitubox for the pre-supports. It's a great tool that provides a lot of freedom!

Pledge Manager reviewed and few changes required
over 3 years ago – Fri, Jan 22, 2021 at 12:57:29 AM

Hello everyone.


We know a lot of people are really keen on getting to the pledge manager phase as soon as possible (we are too!). But, according to BackerKit support, we still got a few changes to do on it before sending the surveys. So we are now applying these tweaks and once they are ready we will apply for their review/approval again.


Thank you for your patience so far, but please note that these delays won't affect what we have planned for the pledge manager and its duration. Tenjin will still have his STL files sent in early February and its physical version (resin) in June. We are also working on some new things for Tenjin as addons for the Pledge Manager so you can all have more fun with him and Kojiro ;). Unfortunately, these and a few other (not yet revealed) addons won't be immediately available when the surveys are sent, because we are still working on them. But expect to see them added throughout the months of February and March.


Kind regards,

Luiz

Pledge Manager (almost here!) + Late Pledges + Little Teaser for 2nd Ancestor
over 3 years ago – Fri, Jan 15, 2021 at 07:06:18 PM

Hello everyone!

Just a quick update on Pledge Manager. We are almost ready to go live! We are expecting to send the surveys within 48h.

Regarding Late Pledges, we are happy to officially announce that we will accept Late Pledges as soon as the Pledge Manager goes live. And don't you worry about the limited time, we have decided to keep Pledge Manager open until the end of March.


And to conclude, while we have Dan (Art Director) finalizing Tenjin files for February delivery we have also a small team working on the second Ancestor. Unfortunately, we can't reveal it yet, but here is a playlist being used by the team as inspiration: https://spoti.fi/3nG3eYs

Who has been following our content on social media for a while can probably guess who this will be!


Best Regards,

Pledge Manager & Tenjin STL files getting
over 3 years ago – Mon, Jan 04, 2021 at 01:43:20 PM

Hello everyone!

Happy New Year!


This campaign has been an amazing experience and we are already seeing what it can be done to improve the campaign for our future Ancestors. 

We know some people are dying to see the next one but we will only reveal it after we complete the first delivery for Tenjin (STL Files).

Due to this being our first time on the Pledge Manager (BackerKit) we are still working on it and making sure we have all tidy up before the survey is sent to you all. So thank you for your patience so far!

We are also working on the pre-support STL files for Tenjin and you should have it all ready to be downloaded on the first week of February. We can't wait to see what sizes and colors you guys will go with him!


Best Regards,

Luiz
