Pluto, an affordable frl.
The main purpose of this board is to introduce more people to the best layout.
This board was originally designed to be O-ring gasket mount only, Top mount was added to make the board whole.
Sticking with a minimal design, the engraving of planets was replaced with the Logo surrounding with Pluto moons and planets.
Pluto now also features an accent Piece with an engraving of Pluto Symbol below the nav cluster.
