Here's the crowdfunding link: https://www.crowdsupply.com/open-tools/open-printer
It wasn't obvious from the article, but the printer also supports 11" wide paper rolls for us American users.
Honestly, beyond just the openness, the small form factor also looks really compelling.
11" wide? So it'll print an 8.5x11 sideways?
11x17, or tabloid, or B size.
Nice. 11x17 capability is practically unheard of in anything marketed to consumers.

Yes, that's the plan it looks like you can do. I'm excited to have it wall-mounted and printing into a basket.
I would hope that the "27mm" in the article were a typo (it would translate to 1" paper).
Edit: The project description does indeed state 27mm as one of the supported formats (A4 and A3 width are also supported). Seems an odd choice to me, but there may be a market there I don't know about.
I'm pretty sure they meant 27cm, or 270mm.
Or perhaps they meant 297mm - the exact height of a sheet of A4 - and mistyped the "9".
Which sucks, that means no label printing, no envelope printing, no duplex.
90% of what I use my printer for is printing mailing labels for packages.
