[PRE-ORDER] 8-in-1 Open Source Cartridge Reader, Type-C, Fully Assembled

This is a pre-order! Orders are part of batch #3. The estimated ship date is sometime in late spring to early/mid summer.
This early pricing is likely higher than the final pricing. Early orders should be considered partial donations to fund/support development. Expect a price drop, do not expect a partial refund!
This hardware revision is still under R&D, delays are more likely than usual. Do not order if you can't wait!
Note: Unlike previous batches, pre-orders are needed before this batch can be stocked as it is a much larger batch which was needed to get the cost down. That's why it's able to be listed at the same price as the previous revision despite having more features.
