Dude, it takes a couple weeks just to map the area that needs to be cleared, and have exactly zero desire to monetize my hobby. figuring in my powerful need to eat, and have a home, if I even were to sell it, it'd be just as expensive as comercial options with far, far less support.

which is also why I'm not releasing the design files on it. I don't want to deal with the inevitable questions.

Fair enough, life is complicated enough as it is! 🫡 Glad you were able to simplify at least one part of it. I completely understand not monetizing a hobby, as it would suck all the joy out of it.
