Print3M Extremely Cheap Delta 3D Printer

[JRDM]

No kidding. No one will pay $1000 for an FDM 3D printer anymore. These bigger companies better come up with something or they will end up being replaced.

Yes, if they follow through and actually work.

Makibot sucks and was a year late at that.

Buccaneer is four months late right now, and they've had to drop the promised heated bed. Solidoodle had a ton of teething problems and is a rough product. Bare metal frame, not even powder coated, still requires plenty of adjustments to get it running right.

DaVinci is OK, but filament-chipped and requires an odd file format, locking in their own bad slicing software implementation. People are hacking on them to make them more useful, but it shouldn't be necessary.

Even a project with a working prototype can have a ton of troubles scaling up. People shouldn't be preordering based on a rendering from a company that has no track record, no prototype shown, no sample parts shown, no video showing sample parts being built by this design.

I think a 3D printer at this price point might be possible and profitable, but it needs volume sales and qualified, experienced people to design it so it's any good. These people do not appear to have any kind of track record.
