Looks good.

The injection moulded enclosures were made from the same CAD files used for the 3D prints, so should match.

Not sure whether to open up for pre-orders or not - my gut feeling is not, but it depends on how close to the end of the month we get. It would be nice to get this first batch out to as many as possible in as short a time as possible.

There is gonna be some trust here, that people don’t share that coupon code with others or abuse the system. Anyway, it will be time limited.
