[Bald & Bearded]

This printer does have an enormous build area and with the use of the lead screws excellent X/Y accuracy with little backlash. I am just not sold on the price point. At $6800 (based on discounts claimed in the kickstarter rewards) it is over 10 times the cost of a Prusa I3 kit and 5 times the cost of an openbeam kossel pro. Now they are 3x or so the build area of the typical MakerBot and only a bit more than 3X/4X the cost.

The one thing to note is that it still only does 100 micron (0.1mm) layer heights in its high def mode. That is the same as most opensource printers. Also, I would expect the same warping on large parts as on any printer so the build area will let you print lots of small (but maybe tall) things.
Speed and faster printing are always good but to what cost. I did not see what size nozzle they were using and that is another limiting factor of any design in terms of x/y resolution.

I do like that they plan to opensource their design when done. And I will be watching things close to see more details on their extruder design.
