Autodesk Discontinues Manufacture of Ember 3D Printer

Autodesk will continue to offer support to Ember users, and customers will be able to purchase consumables, including resins, print heads, and trays, through Colorado Photopolymer Solutions (CPS), which has worked with Autodesk on the development of new resins for several years.

It's nice that it was open-source and all, but it's not hard to see why it was a slow seller. Pricing it at more than double the cost of competing printers without any offsetting advantages wasn't a recipe for success.
