The OLOID STAND Unlocked!

Today, we are thrilled to introduce the OLOID STAND!
The OLOID STAND is an elegant piece to display one, two or as many Oloids as you want. It’s machined from a strong and exotic wood from the tropical rainforests of Mexico called MACHICHE, and it’s designed to perfectly hold the Oloid shape.
And here is the best part. The stands will be custom made for each order. Here is how it works:
If you ordered one or two Oloids, it doesn’t matter if it’s regular size, TOTEM, or one of each; just add MXN $150 to your pledge (about $8 USD) to get your stand. Here are some examples of the possible configurations:
If you ordered three or more Oloids, add MXN $250 to your pledge (about 14 USD), and we will custom design your stand to hold the exact number of Oloids you have. You can add as many Oloids to your order as you want, and you will get a single stand that proudly displays each of them!
There are endless configurations depending on how many Oloids you want. For instance, someone who ordered 5 Oloids,three small and two TOTEM would get something like this:
We are already working on the next stretch goals. Many of you have suggested different finish colors, Blue Cobalt being the most popular so far! We are currently making some tests and hope to have good news soon!

They don't stick to the filters or collect on metal plates: they are vaporized, really gone! You won't need to buy replacements, our patented filters last virtually forever. BRID is also the first Photocatalytic purifier that does not produce ozone. Thanks to our modified (Doped) TiO2 (Titanium Dioxide) treatment, BRID doesn't use UV lights, but LED Lights. The process is covered by 4 patents and a patent pending process. That makes BRID unique in its class.

Announcing Our First Stretch Goal !

– Mon, Oct 02, 2017 at 12:22:21 AM
Hello everyone!
We will keep this one short and informative, we´ve been getting a lot of messages about how to add more Oloids to a particular order, so we created this handy guide to tell you exactly by how much to increase your pledge if you want to add any of the options we offer.
As adding more Oloids requires you to change your pledge amount but keep your current reward selection, it would help us a lot if you send us a private message stating your new selection. This way we will know exactly what you’re ordering.
We are also announcing the first stretch goal to be unlocked! BLACK OXIDE OLOID. It will be unlocked if we reach MX$ 1,000,000.
You can help us reach this goal by sharing this campaign with everyone you think will love it! Here is a short link you can use everywhere: http://kck.st/2g4OMfa
Here is a little preview for you...
And finally! Two friends of mine have launched Kickstarter campaigns, I genuinely like the products and I think you might like them too, check them out

Wow guys! 350% funded on the first day! This means we’ll get to share this beautiful object with people all over the world. We’re very happy to see you liked the Oloid so much. Thank you!
Now we can get to work!
We have a meeting with our manufacturer later today to get everything ready to start making molds right away. The best thing about reaching our goal in such a short time is that now we can get started and try to get the Oloids out even sooner than expected.
And with so much support and feedback from our backers, we already have in mind some cool extended goals ideas! Feel free to give us any suggestions about what could make this project better, we’re happy to hear you out.
Cheers,
-Patrick & team
Announcing our new extended goal!

Hello! We are halfway into our campaign and things are looking great! The Oloid molds are already in production, and we are moving fast to ensure we will be able to make and deliver over 2000 Oloids before Christmas!
We are working with a great company located in Puebla, Mexico. They have over 35 years of experience in high precision metal casting and they have developed a very refined technique so we know we are on excellent hands. We can’t wait to show you the process of making an Oloid, it’s as amazing as the shape itself!
And now, we feel it’s about time to announce our next extended goal!
We are so happy with the response we have received from our previous announcements and we hope you guys will like this one as well. We’ve been reading your suggestions and it’s pretty clear we need to create some kind of stand or display for the Oloid to be shown off! But we decided to keep this one as a complete surprise!
The reward will be unlocked when we reach MXN $1,400,000. So again, help us out by sharing the project with everyone you know so we can reach the new goal fast!
To everyone who has upgraded their pledge to receive a different reward or to add something extra, please remember to send us a private message letting us know what you are pledging for. In the end we will confirm all this information with the surveys and you will even be able to add extra stuff to your order, but for now it will help us get everything straight from the beginning and avoid any logistics issues down the road.
If you have any questions about how to upgrade please send us a message, we are here to help! If you already messaged us and we haven’t replied, no worries! we’ve been receiving many questions so it might take us a few days to get back to you, but we will make sure everyone gets a response before the week is done.
Thank you!!
-Patrick & team

Stretch goal unlocked! BLACK OXIDE OLOID
about 7 years ago
– Sun, Oct 01, 2017 at 04:51:27 PM
The Black Oloid is now unlocked!! Thank you everyone for helping us spread the word and reach $1,000,000!
The BLACK OXIDE OLOID features a beautiful black finish that protects it from corrosion and makes it look sleek! It's the same finish given to firearms and watches. The black color actually has a hint of blue that provides a deep and interesting look.
MAKE IT BLACK!
We wanted to make it very simple for existing backers to get a Black Oloid. Essentially, you can turn ANY single Stainless Steel Oloid into a Black Oloid by adding MX$100 (About $5 USD) to your pledge.
It doesn’t matter which reward level you’re in, or if you order the regular or TOTEM size.
And of course you can also add an extra Black Oloid to your existing order:
REGULAR SIZE:
USA and Mexico backers: Add MXN $540 to your pledge.
International backers: Add MXN $665 to your pledge (540 + 125 for shipping).
TOTEM SIZE:
USA and Mexico backers: Add MXN $980 to your pledge.
International backers: Add MXN $1480 to your pledge (980 + 500 for shipping).
Please let us know what you would want to see in future extended goals; we are working with several materials and experimenting with a few different add-ons, but if you guys want something specifically, we can focus on that!
