Update #4:
Happy Early May Bank Holiday to those of you enjoying your extra day off, we've been working, but we don't mind at all as all development are on track for the launch in less than two weeks time!
The final gear box design was finalised and has been put through its final testing over the past few days:

Moreover, and what we are most excited about is to see the casing and internals being produced, ready for full assembly:

Any thoughts would help us a lot, so keep asking questions about Strooder and we'll try our best to answer.

When you are figuring out how to box up your components for transport, plan to sandwich your laser cut parts between two pieces of cardboard. The laser cut parts tend to separate from the board during transport, especially on long journeys to foreign countries, and the buyer opens the box to find a jig-saw puzzle. That detracts from your product's first impression.
Also, make sure that your assembly instructions are clear. Beta test them by having a novice build your product from the instructions only. Remember, a customer might be trying to assemble your product on the other side of the world, in a different time zone. Having to wait 12 hours for a response to an enquiry is frustrating.

I'm sure there are people here who would love to help you make translations, or even be your beta tester.
Personally, if there was promise of a grinder/winder, I would pay big to be your tester. If only to just have the unit to use.
It should be really easy to find someone locally to test for you.

When you decide the milestones, take into consideration the fact that there are people, like me, who probably won't back you until the grinder and winder are guaranteed.
We've just had all too many failures on the developers part in the past to be able to trust these kinds of KickStarters...

Strooder,
Is there anywhere we can register for a notification when the Kickstarter goes live?

Hi Emu,
This is great advice.
However the Strooder will actually be shipped fully assembled to avoid all these complications and ensure the end user has as little troubles as possible. This is something we have not communicated yet so thank you for reminding us to make everyone aware!
We are trying to make our instruction manual as clear as possible and will be beta testing everything before shipment.
Thanks again

Within the next week we are meeting with a big contender in the 3D printer market who we are taking Strooder to be showcased and tested.
We are also going to be locally beta testing and potentially opening up beta to the interested world. We will certainly invite you to be one of the first if this is the case.
It's one of the first things we discussed when in talks about a winder and grinder being offered as a milestone.
It has been difficult deciding what the best option is, but we feel you will be happy with the outcome which will be seen during the Kickstarer launch
