Panda bot - $800 3D printer

[Fzero]

sounds good to me, I knew there were ones for around £1500 but $800 is at a price even more affordable for home use eh


a KS project and would be good to see a success

Could make your own little Pandora keyring models on a Panda bot


edit: correcting my bad grammar mistake

I'm interested in the Form 1 at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/formlabs/form-1-an-affordable-professional-3d-printer?ref=live


It's more expensive, but it's a stereolithography printer (shines a UV laser into a tank of liquid resin, instead of squirting melted abs plastic like other printers). It can do layers as thin as 0.025mm.


Plus it's really cool to watch it pull an upside down model out of a tank of liquid.

$50,000 seems like a small goal for a project like this.


However, Form 1 got over a $1,000,000 dollars for a $100,000 goal..

At any given time there are 4-10 different 3D manufacturing devices on kickstarter. Sometimes injection printers, sometimes SLS printers, sometimes mill machines, sometimes a combination of the two.


Anywho, point I'm making is that if you miss any of these, just keep checking back every few months, another is bound to show up eventually.
