This thing looks extremely rough when examining pictures and video at highest resolution available. Take a look at the left edge of the display cut out, as an example:

This hobbyist level of machining does not go very well with the slick design and marketing.
- aliqot 4y agoWow I recognize this! That stuttered uneven spot is what happens when I try to flatten the edges with a dremel with the cylinder bit on and the speed up too high. It catches and digs in and makes the little dip.
- Closi 4y agoIt's a prototype, so not necessarily indicative of the final finish. That looks like it's been cut by a craft knife, which is unlikely to be the final manufacturing process.
- dymk 4y agoThis doesn't even look like a prototype, it looks like a foamboard mockup
- antoniuschan99 4y agoalso looks like it's using a dht (probably 22) sensor which is not accurate. In high humidity environments should look for a sensor with a ptfe membrane.
- csteubs 4y agoGood call out. I respect the effort put into the aesthetics of the prototype, but the display cut out could definitely have been flush-mounted in a way to disguise the cut out with something as simple as household white quarter inch trim. Slick design comes in time, and the device itself looks quite nice IMO. I just think it reeks of the Juicero "hammering a screw" approach. Monotubs are dead simple and cheap, but do require a bit of research/knowledge/trial and error to get started producing fruiting bodies. Without knowing the cost of Shrooly's replacement boxes, it really comes down to convenience and personal value of having fresh mushrooms on hand. I'd rather have something like this on my bookshelf than a Rubbermaid shoe tote full of dirt and pinheads, though.
