I'd agree with the premise that the advances might be a zero sum game, unfortunately 3D printing is only part of it. China is also putting a lot of money into innovation and problem solving- not just...
These are not new, but they do have a good reputation in China. The ATCmake/TMTCTW boss is a bit nuts though. Insists it's not an Ultimaker derivative but entirely his own invention.
Nice people, awful printers.
GeeeTech is a 100% Chinese company best known for ripping off SparkFun: https://www.sparkfun.com/news/488
The "Me Ducer" (totally not Chinese name there right?) has been on Taobao for months:...
Lulzbot uses GPLv3 and CC by SA, does not appear to have hurt them any.
What is it you think open source means?
Not only are people running blatant Kickstarter scams but they are threatening to sue anyone who exposes their scams.
Ridiculous, that printer has been on Taobao for 6 months and the company has...
Oh come on, this is just getting ridiculous.

Good to finally see Hans getting more press. Kickstarters throw bags of money at three year old regurgitated tech or thinly disguised bulk purchases of off the shelf Chinese printers- this guy is...
Yeah their “new” printer is a two year old Weistek knock-off of the TierTime Up:

>Chinese made FDM 3D printer should update their view, the performance as for today is in superb performance (minus good instruction manuals ;))!
Could not agree more- there is tremendous...
After all, these are the guys that brought us the Obama 3D printer.:o

Unfortunately with the massive grants the Chinese government is giving out this is quickly becoming a popular business model for profiting from 3D printing here in China- dubious “research” and...

There is absolutely tons of this here. The people doing sales in these companies are nearly always English majors with no sales experience, very little knowledge outside of English in general since...

Sorry I didn't see this sooner.
The "Smartbox" is just an off the shelf Chinese printer.[1]
I have a high opinion of Chinese 3D printers- but this is a scam.
I hate to say it, but in...
When I used it the belt *looked* straight, but you're right- even looking at their pictures it's crooked in some of them.

They are based here in Shenzhen, decent printer.
Not surprised they ignored China again (well, showed significant selection bias). Appeals to patriotism didn't work for cars or any other manufactured goods, excluding high quality 3D printers from...
