RIP peachy?

I feel sorry for the people in this thread, who despite the telling expensive production and theatrics in the Big Bad News video, still don't see a scam for what it is. You've been had by the "good cop/bad cop" scam. Let that sink in. They kept up the game for years, pretending all is well, letting new backers join, so there is a lot of money lost. More than the original backers. You just know some poor sucker just backed this the day before this "news" came out.

I tend to assume the best of people until information to the otherwise presents itself. From what I can see this is not a good-cop bad-cop deal but if it is I am certain it will be discovered by the police investigation in time. Regardless, it really makes no difference as far as where I go from here. You can throw up your hands if you want and wallow in the agony of the financial loss of $100-200 or you can look at the bright side: we have the designs. So yes, we'll probably never getting those printers or a single penny back but that doesn't mean we can't make our own.

It seems like one could implement something similar to the Peachy concept with basically a laser cutter(of which there are several open source designs out there) over a build vat plus a pump hack or a stepper controlled submersion setup for z control, using the saltwater concept. Since the laser would be mounted perpendicular to the resin you wouldn't have the angular issues to deal with, though the top speed and scale of the printer would probably be less than the Peachy design would be capable of. Probably would want to isolate the laser gantry from the build vat too.

Yes, everyone has the designs now. You paid for them to have them. If there is a bright side, it's that we all helped. The down side is that I didn't pay for schematics, I paid for a printer. I don't mind assembling a completed product, but I don't care to research and build a 3d printer. That's sketch at best. I'm just going to buy a proper 3d printer, so that when I have problems, I also have support.
