The goal covers tooling, certification and the first manufacturing run. Allocation is indicative and updated as supplier quotes are finalized.
Be first in line on January 1.

Campaign questions.
When exactly does the campaign launch?
January 1, 2027. The countdown on this page tracks the exact launch moment. Waitlist members are emailed first.
When am I charged?
Never at launch reservation time on Kickstarter. Backers are charged only after the campaign ends successfully and reaches its funding goal. The optional US$10 Founder Reservation on this page is charged today and is fully refundable.
What happens if the campaign does not fund?
No backer is charged and every Founder Reservation is refunded in full.
Are the pledge levels final?
Pricing is locked. Unit limits and shipping windows may shift slightly as DVT and certification results come in — any change is published to backers before the campaign opens.
