If this device ends up being well made, durable, and runs without constant issues or errors, you’re going to be wildly successful. What an incredible innovation

[thenextlayer]

Holy shit. $2999 is dangerously close to consumer pricing… well done guys. This is gonna shake things up big time.

[UncleJessy]

Holy balls this looks amazing🤯For the part cleaning, harbor freight sells a fully enclosed sand blasting cabinet for under $250. Could make for an awesome combo for this project. 1000% keeping a close eye on this 🤘

This right here is the holy grail of hobbyist engineering. Fully isotropic, compatible with regular & GF nylon, and efficient use of the full build volume. The only limitations are very high temp and conductive materials

[ChrisP]

Count me in, this is a small business's dream. Top quality without the mess and high cost (both labor and equipment).

[AppliedScience]

Uh.... wow!!! I'm really looking forward to learning more.

[heckyes]

Good lord. Almost seems like an April fools joke it's so well thought out and yet still cheap.

[maxmn]

Using unreal engins physik engine to pack the parts has to be one of the greatest moves I have seen in a slicer.

[pvc]

8:11 I laughed out loud when I saw the sophisticated method of packing parts by just dumping them in the virtual build volume. But hey, if it works…

[tinydiccbandito]

What I love about this is that nothing like this has been done before. It introduces competition to a market that hasn't seen many innovations in years. in the end other companies will have to go back to the drawing boards and offer us better and cheaper products. This product is a huge win for all the end-users

[maciucovidiu]

Guys what are you doing to me?
The more breakthroughs like this, the less sleeping space I have in my home.
Let me just say wow and count me in as a customer, I feel like this is something worth jumping in its inception phase.

[MG-Makes]

As someone who works in industrial 3D printing, the $3000 price tag is absolutely insane. Fantastic work, can't wait to see more about this printer and looking forward to the waves it will cause in the industrial additive world.

[alexbotner]

The analog circuit is genius. Analog is far superior in very specific continuous spectrum use cases, absolutely brilliant. This is a wonderful machine!!!!

[tangodown]

People dont understand. The actual hardware even for the big boys is like 30% of what they charge and the rest is like 70% margin. Its how the "industrial" space works. Its all super over priced because businesses are willing to pay for "convenience" and they get raked over the coals. Ive been in industrial sales for 15 years. The differences on margins between consumer products and industrial products is insane. Its the difference between selling to people who cant throw money down the drain and those who can. They have more money then sense and they spend a lot of it... ive ALWAYS have said that ultra expensive 3d printers are going to be short lived as theres to much "consumer/non corp" in the subject. To many people that want to make cool things for the sake of making cool things and not some dude with a spreadsheet seeing hust how high they can charge a company before they wont pay. If i had to guess THIS printer idea started with a a guy who was interested in SLS but couldnt afford one. Then started down the rabbit hole of what the parts cost going directly to the sources or using alibaba and realizing how much markup companies were actually charging on these printers and said "i can do that for waaayyy cheaper and im not greedy ill be happy with 20% margin" then actually followed through. Which is the hard part the follow through. But it was bound to happen because this isnt an industry fully controlled by corporations theres a community..and like any product with a community its usually them who force value on the market through creative ideas not the corporations willing charging you less. Good job guys i cant wait to try one!!!

[snazzy]

This is AMAZING! Kudos! And can’t wait to buy one!

[brettzolstick]

I just got the sudden urge to print a massive solid block of nylon that takes up the entire build volume for no reason.

[chrisbibb]

I never thought I'd see the day of me owning a powder system, but at this price it's honestly affordable for the enthusiast, and without all the faff of needing a massive space for post processing

[DMSTV]

Wait I need this. I actually need this.

[CanuckCreator]

This is cool to see, will be interesting to see how things pan out longer term

[marsgizmo]

Pretty impressive achievement at this price range! well done 👏
