I like the design, at least, moving beds have generally annoyed me. I understand why it's done, but still.

>August: finish design, make injection molds, lease production space
>September: start of part production

Oops!

When I got mold quotes, they generally said 3 months before it can make parts. One month is highly optimistic.

A machine of that size should be an exoskeleton, in my opinion. I don't think a consumer machine that size is going to be very fun for the user while they figure out warping on 12+" parts in an open design and without a heated bed. I do see a heated bed and enclosure are stretch goals.

The idea of a 6" 128 x 64 graphical LCD is comical. Even at 3", they're crude by modern standards. If the machine is Arduino-based, it's also going to be clunky. I much prefer the smaller text-only LCD for these machines, they're a lot more responsive.
