40USD seems a little steep. How much do these things cost to produce?
Edit: On the crowdsupply page, they mention "As of today, we’ve shipped nearly 1,500 of them. That’s 1,500 boards manufactured by PCBWay, assembled by Cyber City Circuits, and tested, packed and shipped by me personally, plus 1,500 temperature sensor boards hand-assembled by yours truly." Hand-assembly of SMT components is very laborious and not very fun, so that will add at least 10 minutes per board, which adds another 250+ hours of work.
