True. We aren't claiming that the pinion rod X-Y mechanism is better than the drive system on a $1300 printer or even a $600 printer. What it does do, though, is help us to put together a very respectable printer for less than $300. The pinion drive system, in conjunction with other innovations (to be announced with the Indiegogo launch) will give the MOD-t a unique combination of performance, reliability, usability, and affordability.
