    Cool, did you get any pics?
    That sounds like the kind of beast I would want and would add to my data center room to give it its own space.

    Unfortunately, I did not.

    Many things I loved about it. The nozzle, for one, is an absolute beast. It's literally, multiple times the size and structure of any other desk top nozzle I've ever seen. The team that put this thing together has many years of experience in the 3D print world and knew exactly what they wanted and what users wanted.

    My company manufactures filament, so I've never been behind the scenes of a printer manufacturer. But I imagine they simply took every mistake ever made by other printers and fixed them. We resell dozens of different printers, but I would have a very hard time recommending any machine over this one.

    That is amazing. Even more amazing is that this printer sells for less than an Ultimaker 3...

    That rules. I look forward to seeing this beast.
    I wonder how many arms and legs this thing will cost. Apparently not as much as I thought it would. Very cool.

    $2500 ish.
    Dunno if that includes tax or not. But if it's as good as it says it is, that's a good price.

    Agreed a really good price if it can do what it says. That would be nice at that price.

    That's the pre-order price for the 3 Extruder. The 4 Extruder is $2999. Both prices are going up by $600 on 12-1-16.

    12th of january you say ?
    :-)

    So basically by the time you've read a review and know if it's as good as they claim, it'll cost you $600 more. Well that's not very nice.
    And personally I wouldn't buy printer these days without some kind of proof that it does what it says on the tin :-)
