M3D Micro 3D Printer

Wow, that's a great price for a decent printer. Makes you wonder how they can build these for under $200. I can't imagine how many of these will sell on Kickstarter.

Great question - Here is how I thought to explain this on our facebook:
"We can achieve low prices while providing professional features for several reasons. One is the Micro is so space efficient, that it is ~10 times lighter that other printers, reducing material and shipping costs. A second reason is Micro Motion Technology, which is a sensor system that measures and correct position errors, allowing us to use fewer and lower cost components with better performance. A third reason is our product was designed for manufacture in minutes rather than hours. This also allows us to bring manufacturing near our Nation's Capital, Washington D.C. USA"
