"The barrier to entry into the world of complex circuitry is just too high for many people; not exactly an environment conducive to experimentation."

Hmmm, printer > $1000, silver-bearing ink $??? vs. $15-$35 for ten boards from China including shipping. Not sure what exactly the barrier is, but it's evidently not monetary. I must have missed it because they are nearing 3x their goal.

The hook...

...allowing you to print on the material of your choice.

Meh. FR-4 is my material of choice. But I know there are folks that get more diverse than that :smiley:
