@WillMelling thanks for posting buddy!
@ough A few people have asked for a video of it being assembled - the reason I haven't published one is because, although the design is patented and registered here in the UK, there is a risk that it could be copied before a production is completed, which could become problematic overseas. But I totally know what you mean!
If you go onto the crowdfunding page, which Will has linked in his post (or instagram - @shim_cup), there is a short video. In the middle section of that video (starting at 0:26) there is a series of studio shots against a dark background - these are the consecutive stages of assembly from flat to cup.

14cm above max height but at a push you can get 15cm (I've been using it 1cm past max height to give 15cm). Maybe that's naughty but a wiser engineer than myself (me not being an engineer) said as long as the post is inserted 1 1/2 times the diameter in you're okay, providing the frame can take it. The frame is still the same shape.

I've got a 24.8mm (awkward Peugeot size) seat post for sale, as it's too short for me.
Originally it was a 25.0mm seat post and attached to my lovely old Vitus 979. I left the bike with my dad who, upon realising the lugs had come unglued (I was about to fix them...), threw the frame away but kept the seat post. His mate gave him this old Peugeot, without seat post, so he sanded (!!!!!) down my old Dura Ace seat post from 25.0 to 24.8mm to fit. I now have that bike and need a longer seat post. I'll probably get a 25.0 and turn it down to 24.8 on a lathe.
Anyway there must be someone out there who needs a 24.8mm for a Peugeot so shout out. Oh yeah it's 200mm long.
£30 anyone?

Okay right so. It's called a fender and it's to attach the end of a mudguard to, like so:

That's why it doesn't need to bridge the chainstays - it's non-structural.
After multiple requests I've now posted a video on Insta which shows the assembly process. And an Aeropress. And a cat called Luna. Enjoy!
