Hi Jdobry,
Of course, shipping worldwide is not easy. I was thinking really to a simpler plan: just count people interested in this thread and, at beginning, manage buying parts for all. You just will send to EU to avoid any custom declaration and taxes. After if you see that lot of people are interested worldwide you can think a different approach as a kickstarter campaign.

jdobry:
OK, I can make group order for EU members.
Just one side SMT assembled PCB + parts for second side (buttons, beeper, OLED) + needeles + 3D printed parts. As DIY kit (I don't have production capacity)
Do you have idea how to organize it? Today I sold just 4+3 pieces and it took plenty of time to communicate with everybody, check payment, don't make mistake in addresses, etc.
I has some experience from history (we made bunch of 3D printers in group). And we are using shared spreadsheet. But it need 100% trust to anybody and it is possible only in closed group.

My suggestion is you fix the price of the kit to cover all your costs. Shipping cost will be added after, depending on the destination country in EU.
Then wait people to ask for a kit with a PM. At a certain point, you will close the reservations. Decide also if you want collect money before ordering components or just when you will have kits ready to be shipped. Prepare a template with mandatory info for the shipping and send to all the buyers. This will help you to manage the shipping. Decide also how do you want to collect money (paypal, bank transfer, etc).

jdobry:
OK. I can organize group order. In few steps:
1) fill form as reservation to count aprox batch size
2) Calculate final price (it depend to batch size). I expect less than $40 for complete DIY kit and less than $30 for PCB kit. Complete kit will be available only in EU (shipping)
3) wait for confirmation of pre-orders (pay it in advance) ~ February-March
4) shipping ~ April~May
It will be just as PCB kit (one side assembled PCB + all parts for second side) or DIY kit (PCB kit + 3D printed cas + needles + cable, only for EU)
Do  somebody have better idea?
PS: I can start this after next week. Next  week I need to send current batch.

Are you still using the DIN connector? 
If you only use 4 pins for the leads, why not repurpose  a 2x2 mini fit jr (cpu 4 pin) or 1x4 mini fit / milifit (smaller) and that would allow lower height devices and easy to crimp lead wires to the connector.
