A musthave, right?
But before you pledge, please take your time and think about it.

You didn't buy something like this already not just because it's still too expensive but also because you "hate" the etiquettes on it.
As with a certain VR gadget that causes a headache after an hour of use, it's highly probable Facebook will buy this product/company too.
If you don't care who the owner of the company in the end will be, go pledge. If you don't want to push a product which will be grabbed by a social network parasites, save your money for something else.

I don't care who the owner is. I haven't bought a 3d printer yet simply because it's still too early in the technology life. Maybe the wait is over. I didn't buy them when they were 'only' $3,000. I didn't buy them when they were 'only' $1,000. But a $300 price tag does seem enticing.
EDIT: Nah, I think it's too small, I suspect they'll have a bigger model (maybe another kickstarter?) eventually.

I'm interested in the ones that make food myself. Were seeing what is possible in the future, and I can't wait for the tech to get better. Having said that I will not back this. ^^

Anyway I love your posts Joxer they are always good for a laugh.:p

It's likely a novelty product in that price range, only capable of pumping out fragile toys and other gimmicks. But it's certainly nice that it's getting so much attention...

Now if only they had a 3-D tissue printer to create my own personal Lilu Dallas Multipass.
