Huge $300 printer?

[DonaldJ]

This is an interesting concept: fixed build plate and cantilevered Y axis.

I'll wait. I want to see a print that uses the full 15" cube build volume (no Yodas!).

Sounds like another Makibox.

I am skeptical. The purchased hardware alone will run close to $300, than factor in the print time to fabricate the FDM parts, add on the non-scalability of large production runs of FDM parts (learn from Printrbot here).... etc. Where is the profit margin?

No video of the printer in action. Just some dude in his kitchen telling me to fork over money because he thinks I should.

Apparently alot of people would, and judging by its success on kickstarter the Micro 3D printer will be hitting the shelves soon.

At least the payments will hit the kitchen guy's pocket. I'm a bit more skeptical wrt shelves. Perhaps this guy really will move to a Mexican villa.

The creator posted a video of it in action on the main page @ http://kck.st/1qTC8NO. I think we should watch the project and see what more evidence it can offer by the end of its campaign.
