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”.
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.

When I saw the image I thought it was a prototype. That’s pretty funny.
Not even that. My bog standard budget preassembled 3d printer already produces far better top layers than what’s shown in those pictures.
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.

At least he finally came through.
