If you have a black plastic object, why would you show it over a black background?

It’s very stylish but I just can’t see it.

Now that I can see it its clear that this is a very impressive mechanism!

And that was one year ago too! Now the much more powerful and precise NEMA steppers are supported, plus so much behind the scenes work on improving software / driver reliability. Amazing project and community.

Cause it's cool and hip. They wanted art/cinematic look, instead of product shots that would be useful.

I felt the same way though. Some of the shots, they used a background simulating a blurred out star field which was a tremendous improvement over the solid black, but still very difficult to see. I did like the red highlight, but still that background.

I think your issue is with the lack of brightness and contrast, and not with black-on-black (which, I'd dare say, is not a bad choice - see macrophotography, and how they are always looking for the blackest background materials)
