New Matter updates

[Feign]

Well, this week's update was titles "As promised... PICTURES" and it delivers on that.
They call this the "look-like, feel-like prototype" which is a bit vague, but from the previous update, this is the prototype made with all the materials and processes that are going into the manufacturing line from the hot end and servos to the paint and plastic. This isn't actually the first unit off the line, but it should be exactly like the one that is.



First impression: they really did thicken up the guide rails for the z-axis, and the hot end and thermistor seems to protrude a bit from the bottom of the extruder housing, which might bother some people a little bit, but it's kind of a relief to me that it's accessible for cleaning and maintenance. Aside from those details, it looks pretty much exactly like the original render.

I really hope at some point they'll give us a video of this new production-level machine printing something. For now we have to take their word for it that this prints.
