An Ontario-based startup called Tiko3D has just unveiled a new 3D printer at SXSW in Austin this week. The printer uses a delta-style framework and will be priced at just $179. Tiko3D states that a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign will be launched within a week or so, and early bird backers will be able to pre-order the 3d printer for a price even less than it's $179 price tag. So how is it so cheap? Tiko3D relies on a simplistic approach, no fan for cooling the extruder off and no USB ports. Instead of a fan they use tubing to remove the heat from around the extruder. More details on the company, the printer, and the pricing can be found here:
