Deadline set for 20/06/2023
 

**Updates**

We will be updating weekly. We will also be updating our meters to let everyone know our current progress in a glimpse.

31/03/2023

Funds received and already converted.

01/04/2023

We attended the Handmade '23 fair to get some information about cutting machines and materials. As we scrutinize more the project, we realize that the hours invested will be many and the necessary material will be more expensive than we thought, but we assume it and face the project with enthusiasm!

04/04/2023

Setting up the templates. First materials tests.


06/04/2023

Hired a local experimental electronic musician to make the sounds for our NFT. He works with Digitone, Digitakt, Microgranny 2.5, Micromonsta 2, Korg Opsix.

**Significant milestone: we just mint the first NFT of the collection.**

10/04/2023

Submitted the necessary files and bought 10 rmrk to verify our NFT collection in singular.

11/04/2023

Final measurements

Flaps 5mm->8mm. 
Height 182 mm
Width 325 mm

Still designing the templates. 

12/04/2023

Bought 500 cardboards. Cutting machine. Cutting mats. Blades. Sketch pens. Software. Other accesories.

13/04/2023

Just started the design and writing of the Folding Instructions.

**Significant milestone** To gamify the crafting process we designed and mint the Craft Master collection. Craft Master is a non-fungible token that serves as evidence of the successful assembly of the Kusama Papercraft. This digital asset confirms that the intricate papercraft has been meticulously constructed or attempted, showcasing the creativity and craftsmanship of its owner. Owning a Craft Master NFT not only confirms the completion or attempt of the Kusama papercraft but also grants the owner a unique digital token that can be cherished, displayed, or shared with others. It represents a digital badge of honor, symbolizing the creativity, skill, and determination of its possessor.

17/04/2023

Still performing tests with the materials. We will change the packaging. The ones we tested are too flexible. 

20/04/2023

**Significant milestone** We started the production of the papercraft. 2/4 designs of the papercraft finished. Meanwhile we are finishing the instructions. We are trying to make the assemble as easy as possible.

24/04/2023 

Printing and precuting the templates. Slow process. We are already way over the hours we planned in the proposal, but we've come up with some good ideas to make the assemble less difficult.


26/04/2023

4/4 of the designing templates completed. Minting completed.


27/04/2023

Production of the templates finished 

02/05/2023

Made a linktr.ee. Working on educational files. Changing the packaging design to fit a new harder envelope (300g)

10/05/2023
There were some issues with the package printer, so we are looking for another one. That could take 10 days. We just contact other suppliers and boughts some tests. 

15/05/2023
Instructions and educational files done.

27/05/2023

Unfortunately there was a printing error in the packages so we have to made them again (all the 100 units). We sent the files but the printer didn't verify them correctly. It's frustating and expensive but we will assume it. We will need to change the deadline (2 weeks more). 

12/06/2023

Everything solved. Packing.
