Yep, just as you say, my backers will get everything they need to make their own at home with more flexibility and for a lower cost than I could make it for them. Software, hardware design files, circuit designs etc.

These are the main parts really. I have spent nearly 1000 hours developing the software and the designs so it's really quite valuable in itself.

Ahh that's pretty cool, sounds like you've differentiated yourself - keep it up!

But if its completely open source, what will backers get that others won't?
It'll only go open source if it reaches its crowdfunding goal. Otherwise, I won't open source and will have to find a different way to make money from the project. Possibly by closed-source manufacturing.
Ok, hit me up if you decide to go the closed-source manufacturing route. I can provide some pointers based on my research for RiffPod.
Thank you :D
