I would like to know how far you got with the product. Even if it's incomplete, I think I would rather judge this on how far completed to beta launch you guys were.

I signed up a few weeks back and was interested in seeing what the product would look like.

We have a fully working version of the creation tools, which would output all of the files required for fabrication. We had created all of the custom electronics, and were able to produce a number of functioning prototypes.

The beta was intended to do a few things:

1. Measure interest in the platform and generate traction for investors. 2. User-test and see what was/wasn't working 3. Get a sense of what parts and materials were most popular, to ensure we properly handled inventory.
