Title: [GB] MAK WongBox - Complete
Post by: Wongstongs on Fri, 20 March 2020, 10:28:56
MAK WongBox (https://www.instagram.com/ma.keyboard/?hl=en)

The WongBox is a budget friendly 7x7 case with an acrylic lid that can be had in a plethora of colours. When we say budget, we mean it; this one won’t hurt your wallet. It starts at just $35! This sale will run from March 20th, 9:00AM PST to April 3rd, 9:00PM PST. We will be invoicing as orders come in and production will begin immediately following the close of this group buy (if not sooner).

We have had way more support for this project then we ever imagined! Thank you to everyone who had joined so far. We have a few surprises still to come that we think everyone will really like.

We purchased a lot of acrylic yesterday and cut a whole bunch of clear lids!

We won’t have most of the filaments in until we know how much to order. We did just get a roll of stone white in, so we will be printing one of those soon!

UPDATE:
All orders to date have been invoiced! Please check your emails.

Hello! Will the higher angle (37*) stand be available with this group buy? I know you mentioned there might be a prototype currently in the works and I would prefer to purchase that one rather than the current stand if possible. Thank you (:

This is one of our very first test prints, so it's missing some of the newer features. But it should give you an idea of what white looks like. This was pre-cleanup too, so it's a bit rough.
