@Edent@mastodon.social For my #Faikout project (www.faikout.uk) the best way to financially support the project is buy the Faikout boards I sell. There are others that make and sell (big in Australia), and there are a small number of s/w contributors to the project who could, if they wish, make and sell to get some money. But the money for the selling of the boards is clearly for the person making the boards, and so, I hope, avoids any possible argument.
I agree it is tricky though.

@Edent@mastodon.social Sadly, I guess, this creates a bias for the PCB designs. Whilst I do not go out of my way to make them expensive for someone to make in small quantities, the design choices are based on the fact that I order in several 100's at a time, and not for someone ordering 10 for themselves. If you want 10, buy from me, after all... It is a bias that is hard to avoid. A second design for small orders? A third design for hand build? Not crazy, but lower priority for now.
