Hi everyone!! It seems that someone choose dystopian future while playing "Choose Your Own Adventure" and things escalated a bit too quickly.

I'll try to make this post the least serious possible,  here we go:

SUPPORT ME ONLY IF YOU CAN

If you have been laid off, even temporarily, stop supporting me. 

If your financial security is at risk, stop supporting me. 

If you know someone or another cause that needs it, stop supporting me.

I've had a few cases before of fellow Patreon supporters in the past apologising for stopping or decreasing their amounts, that should never be the case. There's no need for apologies, I'm thankful for your support but that should never be a struggle for any of you. If you stop supporting me, leave me a message with your email so we can stay in touch and send you the perks that you would have gotten if you continued your support.

If you are a Patreon supporter that already has stopped, reach to me, the same applies to you.

The deal for us is the same as the fight with the bug, I'll be fine if you all are fine. 

STAY HOME IF YOU CAN, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

I know that you're probably tired of hearing this already, but please please please, stay home if you can afford it. Try to have as little contact with other people and things that other people touched, door handles etc. 

THE CNC BOM AND 3D MODEL

Working on that, I'm at home with my wife and two kids (1,5 and 3 yrs) and it's pretty demanding time wise so I'm dividing myself between that and keeping the videos coming. I'd say that I need another week or so to have something that I can share, thanks for your patience. I got all your messages and you'll receive an email from me soon.

VIDEO SCHEDULE

The next three videos I had planned required testing outside, that's a no no right now so I did a handbrake turn with the next one (tank skateboard) which will get a mid project video and postponed indefinitely the other two. As I don't know if I'm going to lose access to the shop soon I decided to start planning videos about smaller projects that I can test inside and even make in my own home, bonus perk, they are smaller and you could print them too and make them in your own house. 

THANK YOU

I went full Youtube three months ago, right now I bring home almost the same amount of money that I brought before Youtube. I have an insane amount of fixed expenses, AprintaPro, my filament sponsor dropped me after the summer so I've been paying for all the filament you see on the videos for a long time now. But, BUT! I'm happy as a freaking clam, this is my dream Job, my wife says it, my parents say it, my friends say it, I was born for this. As a bonus, this crisis won't hit me as bad as if I was in my old job, most of my colleagues  have been laid off or are just about to be laid off.

THANK YOU ALL, YOU'RE THE BEST

Please leave your thoughts below, I'd love to read them.

Ivan, your videos inspired me to get back to building some of my old projects! Nothing like being stuck at home for a month with two 3d printers and a crate if filament. You're one of my favorite channels now, along with Martin of Wintergatan.

I (like many others here) have been inspired by you to return to their creative selves, or to explore their creativity they have yet to discover. From the bottom of our hearts, Thank You! Best wishes for you and your family.
