funny but not surprising. its no easy task and alomost impossible to get something that works great with everything. since i am in the coatings business, not long after gecko was introduced i developed a plate that worked great for abs. i just couldnt get it to work with pla. just the opposite problem these guys are having. i was using my plate for awhile but in the end though i went back to my hairspray coated aluminum. it really just doesnt get any easier than that. the real issue is that you have a piece of spring steel and no matter what you do its just not flat enough. a 3d printer requires a flawlessly flat bed that you can really only get with a machined surface. even my mic6 tooling plate is out enough that i can see just by how it prints the 1st layer.

I have just filed a paypal claim against geckotek....
4 separate communication attempts over the last month with zero response. I can appreciate the difficulties in manufacturing, but customer service is inexcusable.
Their websites twitter, facebook, and google+ links all lead to nothing
I was jazzed for this product but now am fairly upset.

it's that kind of industry at the moment.
Lots of garage inventors with a great idea - and now we have crowdfunding they can all get money :-)
Been stung with the makibox - no more crowdfunded things for me. Even things that look pretty simple to get into production, like this stuff.
