GP3D's New Sprout 3D Printer
Soon to launch on Kickstarter, and to be unveiled at the 2015 CES next week in Las Vegas, the Sprout 3D printer may just be what many of us have been waiting for. With its small footprint and large build plate, the Sprout from GP3D is an affordable desktop 3D printer. At an announced price point of just $549, the Sprout has some impressive specs:
- Printer Size: 11.7" x 8.7" x 15.9"
- Build Envelope: 5.9" x 5.9" x 5.5"
- Print Resolution: 0.18mm
- Filament Compatibility: PLA
- Priced at Just $549
If they reach their Kickstarter goal, the first printers will be ready to ship out in just a few months. Check out more details about this new 3D printer in the full article: http://3dprint.com/34011/gp3d-sprout-3d-printer/

It looks entirely standard to me. How many different versions of the same thing do people really need?

Yeah their “new” printer is a two year old Weistek knock-off of the TierTime Up:

It sold so poorly and is so out of date that nearly all TaoBao stores have dropped it: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=42657716130
Fortunately there are always gullible Westerners willing to believe any 3D printer story- I'm sure their Kickstarter will do fine.

Pass. I avoid the indiegogo or kickstarter plans. Too many of these upstart companies are a knock off of some one elses work or is a unproven design and only a concept.
For a few dollars more you can get something far superior and immediately through Amazon.
