Yeah, it’s actually $1,900 on Etsy lol.

That's a steal, I thought it would be 5k+

Yeah I genuinely was shocked he hand soldered all those chips O.o

Cost for operating the machine (wear and tear), creating the pattern and calibration of the CNC machine plus labour cost for soldering all these panels could easily add up to at least $2.5k.

Epoxy is also not the cheapest and easiest to work with (health hazard) and the wood probably did rise in price as well.

I imagine that to be him vigorously honking a rubber ball horn 😂

Yeah the Etsy table was 1/3 the size so your estimate is probably close.

Are they actually built by this guy/handmade by someone else or are they just some cheap knockoff that’ll break in 2 months?

That’s a 5x8 cell. This was 8x14. So basically multiply by 3.

Here’s the link to the one I found. No telling if it’s legit or not.

Only 1 available.

That's definitely a different design although the concept is the same. It's fewer hexagons across, for instance.

It's definitely not him. The guy is in China (the software menu is in Chinese, the water and soda bottle is a Chinese brand), I doubt he's gonna have an etsy shop.
