For those of you familiar with some business lingo, Q2 is officially upon us! This means the MetMo schedule is running full steam ahead and things are moving at a rapid, fun-filled pace. Let’s dive right into it…
Pocket Grip rounded up and wrapped up 
Our 9th Kickstarter campaign ended earlier this month and it was another corker! Over funded by 7,400% thanks to 3,496 backers, Pocket Grip has launched itself into the MetMo history books 
For those of you who backed our Kickstarter campaign, you can check in to see our monthly updates on the campaign page. As of right now we’re set to start shipping this winter! If you didn’t take the plunge on Kickstarter and are currently living with crippling regret, fear not! Pocket Grip has now moved to our online store on a pre-order basis. See it HERE!
The Fractal finish line 
We’re tantalisingly close to finishing up our Kickstarter fulfilment! With over 4,000 backers it’s been a mammoth task, but we’re happy to say our smoothest fulfilment yet. A huge shout out to our production team who has been completely world class 
. We’re planning to take Fractal Vise off pre-order and on to a general sale basis on May 7th, so you can tend to all your clamping needs a lot sooner 
.
Before and After
Do you remember back in February when we showed you our container full of Fractal? This is him now. Feel old yet?
News from the shop floor 
A Sneaky Peek!
We love new, but we also love our roots. Do you recognise this bad boy? Don’t worry, you won’t be waiting too long to enter the herringzone…
For many years now we’ve been asked to bring back a metal version of Helico, and for a long time it just wasn’t possible! Luckily for you we love pushing ourselves to the limit, and we’ve been experimenting with new machinists and new machines and now finally we’ve been able to do it!
One of the biggest hurdles over the years has been making nice gear profiles; we traditionally make everything on CNC machines, but for making good gears this is a very tricky and very expensive way to do it.
Enter CNC gear hobbing! This is super specialised, so finding someone that would work with us on this to our quality has taken us along time. Now we’ve partnered with some expert Gear Folk and we’re ready to spool up and start making these full metal Helico.
Here’s a little sneak preview for you, and this bad boy will be going live at the end of the month. We’ll have more info on this soon, so keep your eyes on your inbox!
Creators Q&A 
Episode 4 and 5 are the latest episodes available of our Q&A series.
In episode 4 we cover how we pick our materials, what Danger Knife was all about and what came to be of it, whether we use AI, and a little bit of physics with a calculation for your Cube! 
In episode 5 we chat about James and Sean’s personal favourite MetMo, where ‘MetMo’ came from, how we feel about the copycats, and what product we’d redesign if we had the chance 
.
Titanium time 
The first wave (April) of Titanium Pocket Drivers is shipping out! If you’re eagerly awaiting yours, hold on tight - it’s coming!
The Grand Timeline update 
As mentioned in our February update, we’ve constructed what we’re calling the Grand Timeline. We’ve updated our ever changing timeline to share with you guys to keep you in the know of all things MetMoVerse.
