I completely agree, this kind of presentation is so great to see!

This is one of the hard problems open source hardware has at the moment. The community is just now realising its existence, so hopefully there will be more so us working on solving it soon.

Without going into too much depth (which probably warrants a whole article of it's own), the problem is that once you have designed something electronic and built a few, actually manufacturing more than a handful of PCBs (>10) not only becomes a whole different ball game, but requires a completely different skill-set to actually pull off well.
