LED Base

Hi is there an option to get the LED base and 3d print bundles with the sphere? Do I need to add it separately? Thanks

Shipping costs

Hey, I'm a long time fan of your work and hope to be there again for your next projects! As I wanted to order, I'm really surprised by the shipping cost. I live in the middle of Europe (Switzerland) and I ordered the Wall Light Wide - Medium. The shipping costs are 44 € which is really far from the expected prices. I don't know how heavy would the wall light be according to the spreadsheet but I want to make sure I do nothing wrong. Thank you in advance

About wall light power source

I was wondering about what the power source of the wall light is? Do you need to plug it in, does it have a rechargeable battery or do you need to buy batteries? Couldn't find the info on the page, so thanks for helping out :)

Mounting for the wall panels

How are the wall designs meant to be mounted? They seem quite heavy to hang from something basic like a nail so I was wondering what kind of mounting solution they come with.

Included bases

First time backing this company and I find no information about the subject, what kind of base is included if I back one of the spheres? Do they come with a base or is it required of me to add a LED-base as an add-on?

Question about the wall-light pieces

About the wall lights, specifically, how are they actually constructed, is it a backlit block of glass with a black "mask" or is it micro cracks lasered into the glass similar to the spheres? Most of the images seem to be computer renderings and the ones that look like they might not be are too hard to discern detail on. I'm just a bit concerned what they will look like in a room that is well-lit already, obviously in a dark room they will look amazing when they are the only source of light, but what if the room is lit normally, or if I turned the internal light off in the piece, would it still be visible or would it turn into a somewhat indiscernible black square?

Early Bird Pledge

Hi Clemens; What happened to the Early bird pledge and are you launching on Kick Starter as a previous backer on your past projects pertaining to Outer Space, I would have liked the Early Bird

Too few options for pledges

For now I've backed at the 10% discount level because what I really want isn't on offer. The project page shows a smaller wall light with the distortion image but this is not on offer. What I would REALLY like is the distortion image in an 8cm sphere. And of course I realise this would only look correct with the sphere in a particular orientation - that's fine with me.

Also confused

I am also a little confused. I also cannot see what my pledge covers as I wanted big & small black hole spheres and a wall image. Having trouble seeing order

Extra spheres

This will be the fifth globe fund-raiser I've backed. In the past I could buy multiples on behalf of friends. This facility wasn't available this time. Is it possible to add that option?

Also confused with the Early Bird pledge

Hi I chose the Early Bird pledge only - not sure, if that's correct. (After choosing this pledge I could not choose the Sphere itself as an add-on.) Thanks Daniel

Early bird confusion

Hi I have backed all of your sphere projects thus far. I was a bit confused about how the early bird €1 pledge worked with the black hole project. I assume you back the €1 and then add a sphere for €69. Then later, I can designate the sphere as a black hole, or add further items to the order should I choose to do so, and get 10% off the entire order. Is that correct? Thanks in advance.

USB cable for LED base?

Hi, I've backed before, love the milky way and constellations spheres, and look forward to getting the solar system and black hole spheres! Curious for this one though, does a USB cable come with the LED base or does the cable need to be ordered separately? Thanks!

Can I get two early bird spheres?

Hi, I'd like to buy two of the early bird goodie bag kits. I can't figure out how to do that. Is it a thing I can do?

Early Bird discount

I just pledged for the goodie bag package but not totally sure how the early bird discount is added to it. I would like to have it added somehow if possible. I received the previous 3 spheres package not too long ago from kickstarter, and super impressed by it. Can't wait for the new addition. Thank you!

how to pledge discount code

Hi, I wanted to pledge the black hole sphere (8cm and I want some additional led bases) and also want the 10% discount. How do I do that.

The discount pledge

Just wanted to make sure the Early Bird discount backing works the way I think - is it okay if I pledge only the 1€ now, and then after the campaign is over I decide what it is that I actually want from the campaign, and add them in the pledge manager? Or do I need to decide what I want as I pledge during the campaign? Thanks!
