Yeah, I'm still waiting too, apparently US Customs needs more disclaimers or certifications on the lasers.

I would like to know when it might be sent out, if I back the project now with 100 US$. Please advise. Thanks.

Yeah, a rough indication would be nice, but with the delays due to certification (and those can be lengthy due to reiterations, etc.), they probably won't give a new date until they're done!

I will probably ruffle some feathers by saying this but, in the time it's taking the Peachy Printer to be released, there are several other 100$ printer projects popping up. The novelty of being the first or only 100$ 3d printer is gone. Most of them even have better print quality. Personally, i never thought the Peachy print quality was ever really any good in the first place, but it did sound like a promising, novel idea. To me, the Peachy Printer always felt like it belonged on instructables.com as a build guide, rather than a funded ks campaign...
I imagine this comment will spawn some negativity towards me, and i accept that. I'm just sharing an opinion and point of view.

It only will spawn negativity if it is not true... Unfortunately, that seems to be the case, though!
I've searched the web many a time, and did so just again, but so far the peachy is the only one I could find, esp. in the resin category, for under $100, that is anywhere near complete for that price!
Also, the design is open source, so yes, you can do it yourself, but the idea is that sourcing the needed parts will likely be as expensive, if not more so, than buying the peachy kit...
The biggest delay atm (as far as we are told, obviously) is the certifications for laser class and CEE...

The way I look at this is that Ryan previously offered a refund to a user that asked, which tells me that these guys mean well. For that I don't mind supporting them and waiting because they don't even have to do that. We got into this spending $100+ and I know I've wasted more than that on less. I think the problem is with some KickStarter campaigns being slimy about their campaign. Oculus Rift being the bigger attention getter. With that said, I think it's a sign of being unorganized that the laser certification is being attempted right now, however it's a good sign that the product will go to market soon.
I could have purchased an M3D, but that's over $300 and right now I have no clue what I'm going to even print with my $100 3D printer. It's really just a toy that will spawn a hobby. So whereas I know I will be waiting, I'd like to know what accessories will be available for my new printer? 8)

Hear hear! The only thing I would like to know is, if I order now when *approximately* could I expect to get it shipped?...
As hobbes said, there *are* other projects out there, which aren't as far as peachy right now, but might overtake it...
Some of them even get close in price.
(For instance there is one that uses visible light (so not UV) activated resin (but no word on resin pricing!), a special resin container, a traditional upside-down lift model, and a SMARTPHONE (which slides under the resin container) to build objects, for approx $100, but no info on how far they are, and when they might have something for end-users! Also, the smartphone screen seems to be the size-limiting factor there, but I could imagine it could get expanded to include tablets or possible laptop screens...)
New to 3d printing looking for...
