New Matter updates

[curious aardvark]

yep - realisticaly you're probably looking at early 2016 until you can just order one from the site and expect to get it reasonably quickly,

And yeah i think we're all looking forward to seeing these working.

What was the last update they sent out? Like what are they doing now? Has anyone seen a video of this thing printing aside from the 2 that show up on YouTube that are like a year old?

shouldn't these things have started shipping to early adopters by now ?

That twitter post is from 2 weeks ago.

They just sent out an email claiming an unknown delay... What happened to shipping every unit by Sept 30? This is the main problem with kickstarter and indiegogo. I guess goals have no meaning anymore. This is Obama's America after all.

[curious aardvark]

actually most kickstarter delays seem to be linked to the chinese factories attitude towards deadlines (they're for other people), rather than the company itself.
And if you want it cheap - you pretty much have to get it built in china.

so any more news on these machines ?
You'd have thought they'd have made an effort to get something buyable by christmas.

Check out their FB page. They are pretty close. I am an IGG supporter and just as happy to wait for them to debug the firmware and release a solid printer. I use a MBI Rep2 at work and have been following online the horror show that the fifth gen MBI's seem to be having so I am willing to wait for the thing to be mature :^).

They keep showing off retail packaging on twitter. I would have thought that they would have shipped all their Kickstarter rewards first before making it available to the public, no? It says 6 weeks delivery on the site if you go order it there.

I find this surprising because if you go on YouTube and search for "new matter mod-t" and sort by Date Uploaded, the newest video is from 3 months ago. There should be dozens of videos from backers by now...
