Shipping Date Confirmation:

  • Box Production Completion: The production of the boxes is confirmed to finish on March 11th.
  • Shipping to the Netherlands:  The boxes will be shipped to the Netherlands, with an estimated transit time of 6 to 16 days. Consequently, the latest expected date to dispatch all pre-orders, including both kits and fully assembled versions, is March 27th.
  • 3D Files and Instructions: On the same date, March 27th, all pre-ordered 3D files will be made available for download. Customers who pre-ordered will receive an email notification to access the files.

Assembly Instructions:

  • Completion and Availability: The assembly instructions are now 100% complete, thanks to valuable feedback from volunteers who reviewed the initial drafts.
  • Supplementary YouTube Video: A video of me assembling a full golden snitch has been uploaded to YouTube (link included in the instructions). This video is intended as a supplementary guide to the written instructions.

Sourcing Components:

  • Manufacturer Updates: I have switched some component manufacturers to enhance delivery times. For example, the new battery supplier has reduced delivery time from 2 months to just 2 weeks.

YouTube Video Production:

  • Current Status: I am currently producing a comprehensive YouTube video that covers the entire development cycle of the Snitch.

Give-away Announcement:

  • A give-away will be held on both YouTube and Instagram, free for anyone to enter. Details on how to participate will be determined at a later date, I will give-away 1 full kit (parts + 3D files) and 1 fully assembled snitch on both platforms.
