    Makism 3D Announces the Wideboy for $1499

    Makism 3D Announces the Wideboy for $1499. I wonder if they will end up being one of the larger 3D Printing companies for at home printing in 2014. I've heard that Makism makes some good professional grade printers. It should be interesting to see how their consumer printers are.

    Makism 3D Corp. Announces Launch Details of Its 3D Printer Lineup for 2014


    CAMBRIDGE, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - Nov 20, 2013) - Makism 3D Corp. (OTCBB: MDDD) ("Makism 3D" or the "Company"), a manufacturer of consumer and professional grade 3D printers, today released details of its upcoming lineup of exciting new 3D printers for 2014.
    The Company has set out to claim an important part of the "Maker Movement" revolution aimed at bringing 3D printing to the mass consumer marketplace through the introduction of its Wideboy, Wideboy Pro, and Wideboy Mega series of 3D printers. Featured benefits include large A4 format build areas, multiple extruders, a 3 year parts warranty, and pre calibrated right out-of-the-box functionality in an attractively designed package. With the upcoming launch of its all new product lineup, Makism 3D is poised to lead the next generation of home and office innovation.
    The flagship model Wideboy™ is a large A4 format dual extruder 3D printer optimized for the reliable utilization of common PLA and PVA support material.
    The Wideboy provides many of the features of the larger printers in the Company's product line-up, but with a planned price tag of only US$1499 it delivers a cost effective precision engineered solution that is truly affordable. Designed and assembled in the United Kingdom from high-quality British and German engineered components, Makism 3D printers feature a bespoke mechanical configuration built for accuracy and reliability.
    The larger Wideboy Pro and Mega models offer the same high quality components but with advanced professional features such as temperature controlled enclosures, heated build platforms, and carbon filtration which enables users to safely and reliably employ a wider range of fabrication materials. All printers come with USB and Wi-Fi connectivity, dual extruders (the Mega offers up to four extruders as an option), high-precision 2 and 5 phase stepper motors, a user-friendly interface, and 3 year parts warranty.
    Company CEO Luke Ruffell comments, "We are very pleased to offer definitive announcements regarding our products and their upcoming commercial launch. We anticipate that the first Wideboy™ will be available in February and we are aiming for the Pro and Mega models to respectively roll out in March and April. We are currently taking email addresses at our website (www.makism3d.com) from consumers who wish to get on our pre-order advisory list, and will be in touch with further information including purchasing options as soon as they can be made available. The interest to-date has been exceptional, and we are attempting to respond to all inquiries as they come in."

    Just took a look,
    For the price it looks pretty well ^^

    Something worthy putting somewhere were people can actualy look at it instead of in a corner so you don't see all those cables.

    Curious how well it will print

    Ha, yeah those cables aren't too pretty. Seems like a good deal for the price.

    I notice that they are only taking pre-orders now, and says you are eligible for discounts by pre-ordering. Does that mean that we get it for cheaper than $1499 if we preorder, or is that the discounted pre-order price? Doesn't really say on the site.

    Is this the company many have been warning about investing in because it may be a scam penny stock? Maybe I am mixing them up with someone else.
