My initial reaction was this might be a hoax, or at least vapourware, on account of the lack of any print pictures or videos, just the very nice glossy shots of the machine sitting idle.

However I did find one video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzX5x1A1AMg

And one photo: http://www.thingiverse.com/image:161441

So, seems the results may lag a bit behind the presentation, but this is still really exciting to see. Fair enough for something they're calling v0.1, as well.



The focus was mainly on the machine and not the results, as they can still be improved. But i've added a section on the Github website with pictures of print results. Hopefully this proves that it isn't a hoax ;)


Very nice, thank you!

Didn't mean to be too cruel about it, it's just that with a new 3d printer announced almost every day I always look to see what the achievable print quality is like.

It's a great project you're working on, I'm sure many people (me included) will be watching closely.


Oh no, I totally understand your first reaction. Hopefully, others will pick up the project too and start experimenting and improving the machine. And one of the reasons to get people's interest is to make it all nice and shiny. As you've mentioned, a new 3D printer is announced almost every day, but 90% just looks crap
