Their dedication to perfection is quite amazing but I miss all the bracket making and CAD (cardboard aided design).
I do wonder how vibration resistant their PCBs will be as the tracks look barely stuck to the substrate

My thought too. Given the few connections these could have been prototyped in wire and then a cheap through hole PCB made up for the final article.
Perhaps a CNC drill for mounting etc would have confirmed fitment before transferring over to a PCB. I guess the learning curve for a PCB package would have been too much for the duo?
Give it a coat of conformal coating when complete - that will help retain everything in place and stop moisture getting in.
Compared to what they went through making a CNC solder printer using a mill, I expect learning KiCAD would have been much easier!
I couldn't help feeling that if they used off the shelf gauges with LED lights the result would have been so much easier for much the same effect.
