Back the C-37 on Kickstarter: kickstarter.com/projects/nothingpuzzles/c-37-one-puzzle-two-outcomes?ref=dtv6yu
I spent the last 2 months 3D printing 460 units of the C-37 — a mechanical puzzle box from Nothing Puzzles — before a single person ordered one.
The Kickstarter is live NOW, and this is part 1 of the full journey: producing, assembling, packing, and shipping a Kickstarter campaign with a high-quality 3D printed product, all from my basement in Michigan.
Every pledge supports Nick, an independent puzzle designer in Australia, and my family's small manufacturing business here in the US. Backers get a handmade puzzle assembled by me — and the serialized tier (numbered 1–99) sold out in minutes on his last campaign, so don't wait.
