    Seems to be a pretty nice filament extruder afterall,

    I would personaly rather buy this wich is alot more clean, Then a DIY kit, also since the price is pretty good.

    I would only like to get some system that also rols it on a spool tbh, i personaly dislike plastic that are lose :P always gets itself between each other.

    I guess you also get your money out of it with ease if you would have a company/print alot with 3D printers.

    Pellets are like 3-6 euro a kilo, when your typical spool of a kg is 20 euro (28 with shipping for me personaly)
    So (28-6=22 , 326 / 22 = 14.8 spools and you have your break even point) after 15 spools you will gain profit over classic spools.
    Of course this isnt with calculating the eletricity. But i also calculated it with one of the more (expensive) pellets i have seen, so if you used 3 euro pellets/kilo you would get a break even at about 13 kilos.
    You could also of course even sell a few on the internet for like 14 euro if you have spare. talking about doubling your money ^^ (well of course this is again without thinking about how much eletricity this is asking)

    I personaly would have bought one, But as i don't print THAT much, i doubt i would get profit out of it,
    Also as this type of printing wont be for a long time anymore in my opinion, i dont think i would use it longer then a 2 years,
    As when my makerfarm is broken, hopefuly not soon, i guess that SLS printing will become alot more cheaper and that will be the next thing.( rough guess 2-4 years from now )
    As the peachy printer just become the cheapest printer, i guess it wont take that long till its more polished and when China mass producer will start creating it for the average person.
    Oh well i'm starting to go off topic ^^
