Try thinking about it this way: any innovative printer that is being designed from the ground up - not just pieced together from existing parts - is going to take 6-9 months at least to bring to market. There will undoubtedly be advances coming about before the MOD-t ships, but pretty much any significant advances won't actually be available for at least another 6-9 months. The New Matter team will of course try incorporating as many new developments as possible, but at some point you have to cut your molds and ramp up production.
