Wow, what a list! It seems to include most of the notable failures of the late 3D printer boom.
Some 3d printers are:
1. Peachy Printer [A kickstarter project that went bad when they absconded with the funds: https://hackaday.com/2016/05/11/peac...-of-a-printer/ ]
2. MakiBox [Another Kickstarter fiasco, which closed down in 2014, taking a lot of sucker's money with it: http://www.fabbaloo.com/blog/2014/10/30/makibox-is-done
3. Printrbot [This is actually a solid machine, that's still being made - what's it doing on this list?]
4. Phoenix 3D Printer [Another cautionary tale for people who think of Kickstarter as a store, rather than a casino: https://3dprint.com/50561/bbb-ez3d-kickstarter/ ]
5. Romscraj [A Singapore company that took customers for a short unhappy ride, trying to come up with a printer that folded up - but the company did that instead.
6. The Buccaneer [From aptly-named "Pirate 3D" it sank when despite a lot of Kickstarting, they couldn't produce working machines: https://techcrunch.com/2015/10/14/a-...ir-3d-printer/
7. Solidoodle [Closed down last year: http://www.solidoodle.com/blog.html ]
8. RigidBot [Another example of a company chasing a low price-point, which closed down when it lost the race: http://www.rigidbot.com/
