Looks a bit hard to keep clean, but still... Awesome!

If this article is correct, we have possibly reached a new record low in the history of product development:Anders Olsson wrote: I am keeping my eyes on other large projects like the Tiko printer for example.
It is horrifying to see how they appear to have skipped basic testing of several of the fundamental components and the problems now shows up when going into production (after months of delays).
Despite this, Tiko actually managed to build and ship over four thousand printers. Given Tiko took in nearly three million dollars from 16,000 Kickstarter backers, this doesn’t sound like much. Consider the decisions Tiko made, and it’s remarkable. They had ordered their complete BOM before a prototype was finalized. The decision to use cheap stepper motors led directly to the very poor performance of the finalized design. The efforts to fix hardware problems in software were not effective. Eventually, Tiko had too much technical debt to pay off.
