OpenBraille Slate v2 functional prototype assembled with recycled PLA

We just assembled the first 40-cell tactile display prototype using custom 3D printed mechanical latches and miniature 5V solenoids. BOM cost came out to $68.40 per unit — well below our $75 target! Tactile pin retention was verified across 25,000 actuation cycles without mechanical fatigue.
