Better yet, tell us what you think.

This helps us to believe you're not a spammer.

"what's wrong with asking people who are considered to be specialized in some field about some thing I made concerning their field of work !" Nothing at all... It's good to see that you are interacting with the CR4 community, this tells us that you are truly asking for critical review.

Sounds like Mikerho is liking your offering.

From your article:

From USA, Europe, China, and from Japan to India; from the Middle East and Hong Kong, we have been looking to find a creative solution for the most critical issue in electronic design: (PCB Fabrication).

PCB fabrication is not a bottleneck for even the hobbyist. There are several custom PCB manufacturers out there that will give you the design tools, allow you to upload your design, and send you the finished boards in less than a week at very reasonable cost.

What do I think? I think this project idea is silly.

Not everybody in the world has a PCB manufacturer on their own street, or even country :D

Talking about myself I pay costumes more than the price of the PCB itself with international shipping the price is so "Unreasonable"! If I'm going to depended on manufactures I'll never made it! some people has to try many designs to reach the best working design for their circuit! they can't wait "Less than a week" for every trial, they can't even spend the time and money to make their circuits with dry films.

So we thought having a quick solution that retains the quality and saves time will be helpful for them.

Maybe I'm being a little harsh. I watched the video - without sound - I'll have to wait until I get home tonight, but I will watch it. It looks like you've done an incredible amount of work on this which is to be applauded. Personally, I would love to have something like this at hand!

Have you made any projections on retail pricing on this? There may be a certain sized company where having something like this at hand would make financial sense.

Very nice looking prototype!

Hope you will like it when you hear my voice

We are selling it on Kickstarter now for 499$~600$, retail price is expected to be ~ 650$

But we received some complaints about the price so we are working on lowering the cost!

It's a tough crowd here. Thank your lucky stars for that because the marketplace is even tougher.

That's why I'm here sir!

People here won't tell me "Hey that's so awesome, Good luck with your campaign"

My work need to be harshly criticized to know what I'm good at and what I'm not.

That's how people improve any way, isn't it ?
