To the followers of Cloudmaker Technologies,

As some of you have seen, it is with somber hearts that we regretfully announce Cloudmaker Technologies will be closing our doors as of June. Despite continued attempts to alter the company’s business model and exhausting every option we could find, we have been unable to turn our community-oriented product into an economically viable business.

Since the birth of this project, we have been driven by a desire to help build modular products that allow enthusiasts to innovate and create that they desire to have. Numerous delays and obstacles, combined with inexperience, have held us back from reaching the full potential of the platform we have cre

It is that time for another update.

We have finally received the remaining Whiteouts and Panels in the warehouse and the team is currently working hard to push through the QC checklist. The spare LiPos are currently still on their way to the warehouse.

As of right now we are looking at everything being shipped out by next week.

As always any questions about your order should be directed to [email protected]

Hey Makers,

Here is a quick blog post to serve as an update to what has been happening behind the scenes!

• Our final run shipment is en route, along with any panel kits and most accessories you’ve been waiting on. This does not include 18650 sleds. Make sure to update your addresses if you have relocated!

• We have been talking with a few companies for a partnership that would allow us to get products out quicker and with more care. The manufacturer we are in discussion with is very well known.

• This is the last time we will have to deal with constantly refreshing tracking numbers for a long while!

• As soon as we fulfill the remainder of this batch, we will be open-sourcing all of th

Hello Makers! ​

It’s been a while since you’ve had a detailed, nuts to bolts post giving you the rundown of not only Cloudmaker Technologies products and info, but about the company at a holistic level. Here we go! ​

We’ve officially been an idea for 13 months, and a company for around 10 months. Time has flown by, but a tremendous amount has happened since then as well. Most of you that follow us know that we started as a napkin-scribble idea on Reddit, and grew from there. ​

Along the way, we’ve added several contributors to our team, cut ties with a handful, started a weekly show, created a core team that meets every week, designed the Whiteout, re-designed it two more times, pushed ba

Hello Makers,

We know it has been a little while since we’ve posted an update - we have been busy behind the scenes on a multitude of items!

• As many of you know, we are closely working on changing our mechanical/assembly factory to our current electronics factory for future production of CMT products. By doing this, we will be eliminating a step in our production logistics chain and plan to improve our future deliver times. This factory is currently in the process of creating new prototypes of the Whiteout so we can confirm they can produce to our quality standards, and ease the level of quality control checks performed at our warehouse.

• As many of you have mentioned, we have been l

Hello makers,

A pleasant customs clearance surprise will allow us to fulfill the following orders this week:

• Remaining Batch 1 Orders
• Majority of Batch 2 Orders
• Select Color Panel Kits for Batch 1/2
• Select Vendor Whiteout DNA Black orders

If you haven’t already, you will receive tracking information shortly. After this, we turn our focus to accessories.

Cheers,

Team CMT

DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS

 

• Front panel easier to remove. We have modified the design slightly to make the front panel easier to remove, which is especially useful for the Whiteout DNA 18650 configuration models and the Whiteout SX models.

• Thicker nylon weave. We have moved to a thicker, more durable nylon protection for the internal wires that are less susceptible to fraying.

• Magnet hole tolerance adjustment. We have tightened the tolerance on the chassis and panel magnets to prevent fallout, which has occurred in certain circumstances.

• Design for symmetrical front panel. We are working on a design for a symmetrical front panel per the recommendations of

SHIPPING INFORMATION: FEBRUARY 2ND

We are (im)patiently waiting for our shipment to clear customs. Once in clears customs and arrives to our facility, we QC all units and get them out of the door immediately.

QUALITY CHECK: FOUR WEEKS IN

In an effort to improve quality standards and make sure that we are working with the best partners we can, we are beginning to transition to a new factory for all future Cloudmaker Technologies products. This factory already supplies us with assembled electronics, has much more frequent communication, and stays on schedule with their shipments. We are looking forward to bringing everything under one roof wi
