I haven't been able to find PCB schematics; there's stuff here but I don't think that's it? https://support.teufel.de/hc/de/articles/26524120330258-MYND...
Why not? The download definitely contains files for defining PCBs? Although it is a bit misleading to only call it CAD.
Not unusual from my experience either and it also makes sense: PCB design is a form of Computer Aided Design after all.
As much as I applaud the idea behind the MYND and going only by the pictures from the article: It’s not a beauty.
The partially filled holes on the front make it look as if it has already accumulated some patina. The armchair designer in me can’t help thinking: If you want to go for the gritty look, do it all the way, otherwise keep it clean.
One of the biggest things I’ve learned is that the “clean” and “minimal” look that we associate with high end “well designed” products (think apple, teenage engineering) is almost completely opposed to sustainable materials and design.
The more minimal your design the more it shows blemishes. The more you see blemishes the more parts will be rejected and scrapped during manufacturing.
Similarly, the most sustainable materials to use are waste products of existing manufacturing - offcuts or upcycled/recycled scrap. But those will have inconsistent finishes that will show on minimalist designs.
I think an important step in actually moving towards ethical manufacturing is a change in aesthetics - so markers of sustainability are markers of cool / “good design”
I’m not sure that is why the panels have partial holes - but it might be a factor.
