The number of people emailing everyday asking where their Canberra Bus Shelter Lamp is has us convinced we’re scamming everyone… but our ⚡️ bill for running 4 printers 24 hours a day would say otherwise 🙃

We’re sitting at 23% printed! 🎉
We’ve fine tuned our day to maximise printing around the clock, and we’ve also upgraded some parts to make things run a bit faster💨

Half of our components are en route to us, the other half are still in production, so we’re doing everything we can to be ready for assembly as soon as everything arrives.

Things are coming along, and we’ve already forgotten what weekends are 🙃

We adore you all and thank you for your continued patience while we make each of your lamps, one by one.

After I edited this, we got more orders 🙃

We’re currently sitting at about 10% of parts printed after a week!

Some of our components have shipped, so things are continuing to move along 🚌

But it’s not all sunshine and smooth sailing — we might have to fire our packaging provider, so stay tuned for that whole situation…

Week 2 progress! 🙌🏼

Packaging is underway, 3D models are finalised, and components are ordered. ✅✅✅

So now we’re using this waiting period to get on top of running our (now) four 3D printers around the clock to get all the parts printed and ready for assembly!

Let us know if you have any questions in the comments below👇🏼

Otherwise, we’ll see you next Monday for an update! 👋🏼

Who needs a proper break anyways?!

While we were back in Canada, we started sourcing suppliers for all of our lamp components so the samples would be shipped and ready for Andrew to test asap! The parts include the LED light, buttons, and even a custom USB C cable 🤩

Everything works as expected, so we’ve ordered 2000 of each component, which will hopefully arrive sooner than later 🤞🏼

Let us know if you like this style of update, and we’ll keep you in the loop as we go along!

🚨Bus Shelter Lamp preorder update! 🚌💡

Over the last two weeks that we’ve been in Toronto, we’ve been sourcing all of our components and our packaging suppliers back in Australia, so we can start making these lamps as soon as possible!

But with over 900 lamps (and counting) to be made by hand by just the two of us, the reality is that some of your orders will be delivered after our initial July estimate.

We promise that we are going to be working our cheeks off as soon as we land in Canberra to try to minimize any delays!

Thank you all so much for your overwhelming (and frankly psychotic) support! We love you 🥹

We’ve been blown away by the reception we’ve gotten and we’re so excited to get our table-top tributes to a Canberra icon into your hands! 🤩

Preorders are still open and launching at an early-bird price of $49. Once we’re back from our Canada trip, we’ll begin hand wiring and assembling your lamps with the aim to begin delivering in July! 📦
