I am in Germany, shipping is $70, priority shipping $85. Maybe it is just that expensive, don't know where it ships from. Does that include taxes and customs?

Production Modultra LOBO: Direct die kit gauging interest.

- Start date
Was so excited to stumble on this project once beta units had already gone out. Can't wait for my retail unit. Godspeed on the preorder @Alloy Craft and bravo to the fine work thus far
@Alloy Craft When mounted vertically, what is the best orientation for the unit? I assume inlet and outlet are best at the top or facing right so the outlet is at the top still.
Also, is there room for the pump cable on your Z590-I board when the pump heatsink opening is facing the VRM heatsink? Is the logo orientation set, in relation to the cable opening, for production?

So if you placed an order and are in the USA, you will be getting a refund when I ship.
I did ship one of the beta units to Gucks tv in Germany, and I think it was $41, but that was in a small flat rate box, the unit barley fit inside. I have not ordered the packaging yet. I will try shrink the box I am using to see if I can lower the shipping on the international orders.
The pump orientation is not critical, a centrifugal pump can operate in any orientation after it is primed. However for bleeding purposes the outlet/inlet in the up direction will be easier. On my Z590-I board there is room between the VRM heatsink for a cable, that is were I am running mine now. the logo orientation is set at this point, all the heatsinks are already machined.
State of the world at the moment, unfortunately.
The costs of almost all materials and services have skyrocketed in the last couple of years, thanks to COVID screwing it for everyone. Shipping industry has been hit particularly hard, and is likely to get worse before it gets better now thanks to war in Ukraine impacting fuel costs (and probably routes? idk).
@Alloy Craft if shipping is causing you grief you can come over here and use our rates, just pay us back for it.
Oh man, I've been following this project since the beginning and have been delaying my build to secure this block but I don't think I can justify over 100 usd in shipping. If there's anyone else from Australia who is keen to do a group buy, let me know!
Thanks Kalhin, I appreciate it.
Notes on Shipping.
1. I am offering free shipping in the continental USA so if you placed and order inside the USA, you will be receiving a shipping refund when I ship these.
2. Box size has been reduced slightly, you may want to run through the check out again to see if shipping cost has improved.
3. I have added a lower cost option for international shipping. First class international package, it is very slow but is cost effective.
4. If you are outside of the USA you might want to try one of two things to help with shipping cost. 1. Check with freight forwarders in the USA to see if they can help since my shipping to them would be free. 2. If you can find another person locally that wants a LOBO, you can split the shipping cost. Cost to ship 2 units in one box is just slightly more than shipping one.
I already ordered and payed, shipped to Germany.
Since shipping rates reduced and I don't like feeding fees to PayPal, could you just bump up shipping to priority instead?
Hi all, great to see that this has now gone into pre-orders! I don't have a pump in mind for this as yet, would the emitter heatsink be useful to allow heat from any pump to be emitted as well as dumped into the coolant, or is it more for a specific use case of acetal/acrylic?
Hi @Alloy Craft
is it also possible to bump up shipping to priority instead for me as well as you did for @aexeq?
I also reside in Germany.
Melbourne as well. We almost need to get a group buy together for us Kangaroo Jacks
The emitter can be used with acrylic and plastic pump housings to help keep the pump cool. It will not conduct any heat into the coolant unless you are using a solid metal pump housing. If using with a solid metal pump housing it should offer the highest level of pump cooling.
