I can take the place first for Eu, the customs here are nicer than the German ones

Done.

Wait... What?

I prolonged the PONG period since the PING-PONG scheme was implemented a lot later than the OP.

5/25 = 1/5 response ratio.

4/5 remaining.

Time left : 47 hours, 42 minutes

Alright... Getting close to release. I'll be posting ( in very large letters ) PING inside this thread soon. For everybody who is participating in this second surprisebox run, I want you to post a PONG in this thread within 48 hours after me posting the PING. This is used as a first 'filter' for par...

Can we do this one backwards so Europe gets it at the end this time?

Sounds fair

Wow.. Big list....

If the transfer speed is the same as the first one, we'll be finished around 2016

Spotted a mistake!
You have my name listed twice, the correct being the first [chzel (Greece)]!

Thanx. Corrected.

20 people already.... Let's hope there is no 'weak chain'.... By the way.. I'm going to run the list from this thread. So as a participant I sorta demand that you subscribe to this topic, else you will not know when it is your turn..... ( it's on top of this thread, press the green + signed two-page...

I guess Sweden is very expensive!!!!
Let's see how this evolves. I removed you from the list.

tlt wrote: ↑I tempted to join but shipping abroad from Sweden can be extremely expensive if the package is big or heavy. Is there a estimate on size and weight of the package?

Ah yes, some rules ->

Max total weight 3kgs
Max total size : 1 full sized keyboard. A very large shoebox.

Ordered them as 'loose' parts, so unconnected adapters...

Now we have to wait another week before shapeways delivers

What happened to the content of the last surprise box?

Patience.....

My aim is to wrap-up the first one before the next one starts....

The MX to MX-alike adapters are for my vintage home-made Memotech MTX Keyboard replacement... :-) Also -> if I'm not mistaken, BBC Micro keyboard keycaps can then also be fitted to either Cherry MX or Alps. I will check when I get the adapters.... When is it ready? I'll have the adapters shipped fro...

Kudos for the person who guesses the reason for the cherry to cherry mount....

Check!

I'm going to send a SurpriseBox(@) around the world for the second time. The idea is based on this one : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_red_paperclip The general idea is that you receive the bag, swap 1 or more items for something of at least equal value, take a picture of what you took out ( so d...

Yes!

It's at my place....

vim

tmux

pushd/popd

Finally I got some time to shoot more pictures.... It was nice to see how most people added instructions with the stuff they added so most bags had little leaflets with extra info on the items. Some of the leaflets also encouraged others to take something from a bag, but not to take everything :-) T...

I'll have some time tomorrow to post pics....

A quick peek indicated huge amounts of bags filled with keyboard goodness...
