    I find it hard to believe that they can make it for so little cost. The cost of the electronics, stepper motors and JHead would probably exceed that alone.

    I don't doubt it's possible, especially if they get their parts from China. Having said this I don't see how there can be any more then a 10-15% margin though. Not sue how it's worth it for them to produce and sell these so cheaply. It's certainly good for the market as it lets a whole bunch of people get a taste of 3D Printing at a price which won't break the bank. I think it's great that 3D Printers are being used in schools. They are the future!
