I truly believe that the cost-prohibitive nature of this filament is going to cause exactly this to occur...as soon as the warranty expires, users that got one of these will figure out how to hack it into printing bulk PLA or something affordable. Cubify has to realize that a machine like this just can't compete against printers you can buy for less than $1000 that use filament you can get for $18.00 a kg.
