I think the OpenPCR project was largely a success. The people behind it (Chai biosciences) had another successful kickstarter for a qPCR machine (i.e. PCR w/ optics to measure fluorescence). It looks like their focus is now pretty much just on the Open qPCR machine and reagents to go with it, I'm not sure if you can still order the original OpenPCR. Check out @chaibio on twitter.
The original machine was a good product. I have one that has had regular use for years and even generated published results. That being said, another really good option (and probably even more cost effective) is to get a used thermocycler from ebay, or your local University's used equipment store.

We were thinking about getting an OpenPCR machine for our school. @openpcr hasn't posted on twitter for quite a while so I am wondering what the status of the project is. Anybody know?--Thanks,
