    Good that they finally “made right” and I would love one from a novelty standpoint but…

    That thing looks “3d printed” in the worst possible way. Like, they didn’t even bother to do a quick pass with some sandpaper to get rid of the FDM striations.

    I am not saying everything needs to be injection molded and 3d printing is awesome for small batch products (my favorite HOTAS is pretty blatantly printed). But I would at least expect a quick pass with some sandpaper to make it feel “premium”.

      It’s using ten year old microcontroller technology too. And ten year old 3d printing technology.

      I guess that’s what you get when your kickstarter takes ten years to deliver.

      Ok fair on the finish, but can we give an extra round of applause for this guy actually delivering something functional and not just the wish.com version. If it’s just one guy honestly I’m ok with mediocre 3d printing.

      At least he finally came through.

    200kHz bandwidth is not a lot, but can be useful sometimes, especially on some car sensors, but not really on embedded development. I have a small FNIRSI DSO152 for fun too :)
