The Vector 3 3D Printer and Education

[curious aardvark]

I believe this is the machine currently being 'offered' for £700 through a 100 issue magazine partwork that takes 2 years before you have a printer. And over 1 year before you get the electronics.

I can't help wondering whether they designed it with extra parts to stretch out the magazine run.

The article doesn't say whether the printer is available in the short term to schools or whether they too will have to wait for 2 years before they can print anything.
Either way you have to feel that cheaper and faster options are available.
