+1. The size is ridiculous. Production costs could be decreased and/or yield increased with a more compact design unless there's some unseen design limitation that requires such a big board. I'm not ashamed of my electronics and don't mind showing them off, but I don't want them to be the focal point. Plus wiring is going to be all over the place with that layout.Quote

I think your marketing division needs to be shot!
The shape makes it dumb and unusable.
Other weird things is 10 end stop connections, but only 3 PWM outputs. Go hog wild (or should that be beef wild) with the stops most people at least in the RepRap community will never use or need but have just a single fan (or some other lower power device) seems backwards. I much rather have 5 or 6 end stops and 5 or 6 PWM outputs to control extra fans, maybe some LEDs for lighting, etc.
The naming of the different funding goal levels of the indigogo campaign is also off: 22.5k€ Filet Mignon, 25k€ Rib-Eye, 30k€ Porterhouse, 40k€ Sirloin, 50k€ Tenderloin. Have you guys ever been to a steak house? A serloin at nearly twice the level of of a filet? Why not have a 75k€ level of ground chuck and 100k€ of gristle just in case. I'll take the 22.5 filet, you can keep the 40 sirloin.
