Great News
We are planning to launch the Kickstarter soon as we are nearing the final stages of development! After lots of testing and poloishing of course.
Price is something we are in discussions about at the moment, all we can say for certain is that the kickstarter price will be lower than the retail price, as well as it competeing if not beating the current market leaders. Hopefully that gives you an idea but that's all we can say for sure at the moment!

Update #1:
It been a week since our first post so we thought we'd update you on our developments so far! (See Picture)

As you will be able to see we have changed the motor speed control sensor from mechanical to optical for greater control and acuracy. In addition we have also changed the heating block to ensure greater control and heat transfer.
Moreover, we have altered the mounting method used which has resulted in a shape change, and changed the main body of the extruder from PLA to laser cut MDF to ensure thermal resistance in case of overheat.
We have also began developmenet of the exterior casing which we will show in the next post to hopefully gain your thoughts and insights!
So, again; What do you guys think?

Very impressed. I'd like to know the Kickstarter price point.
What kind of intelligence are you building into this thing? Will it have overheat / cold extrusion cutoff like a 3D printer?

Update #2:
The product is nearing final completion and we are currently working with a team to create the exterior shell.
Recently we have been working on our kickstarter campaign, developing the reward system and have come to a final decision on the price point.
The starting price point on Kickstarter to receive a Strooder will be £149, this will include a fully assembled Strooder with 100g of taster pellets.
We are also developing for the video, which is planned to be filmed next week.
Strooder pictures coming soon, you can also follow us over on facebook! facebook https://www.facebook.com/Omnidynamics

The casing has now been assembled, and prototype case has been made! We have also finalised our design and rendered the CAD designs.
What do you think?

I'm very impressed with this. 3DPrint.com just covered you guys in an article. I can't wait to see how well your kickstarter project goes.

Well only thing that might be wrong is that you tell in the article that its 20% less than average filament,
Since i have seen ABS pellets selling for about 1.5 euro a KG. And a average spool is about 20-30 dollars easily.
(http://www.kwb-wedel.de/ example of such reseller of pellets)
I would guess it would be quiet bit cheaper than 20% even with the eletricity costs.
