He obviously put his heart into this.

The video didn't need to mention food filament. I think the vague dissucssions of the future of 3D printing only serve to distract from the product at hand.

A 3D printer kickstarter should show the 3D printer in motion, building parts. A time lapse of said printer in operation is best. Nine and a half minutes about the promise of 3D printing needed clips showing your design can build parts. Static parts already made are nice, but doesn't show your machine making those parts.

I think the second prototype should have been built before doing a Kickstarter.

I'm curious about the design, but I can't tell anything about it from the given media.
