Robin,

Here's the deal:

Some printers will only work with one predefined material, purchased from the manufacturer. They maintain good quality control, and their printer is calibrated perfectly for this one filament. This is a great choice for first time owners, or those who don't want to experiment with other material, or those who don't want to be bothered with recipes.

Our printers will work with dozens of materials; since we don't know what material you will be printing in, you must select and quite possibly refine your recipes (ratios of material advancement, temperature, print speed, layer height, etc.) for your material of choice.

If you are an experimenter, you will probably want our printer. If you want to print in materials other than filament, you will need our printer. If you want to find a file online, press a few buttons, and get a print without much effort, you will not want the printers we are making today.

If our products don't match your needs, we will point you toward other manufacturers. While we want you to be happy with ours, we would rather you to be happy with another manufacturer's than unhappy with ours.

We have units in the UK; we use a typical PC power supply, which can be set for 115 or 230 VAC.

I don't know when the next broadcast is planned at the moment. I don't believe you missed much last night, it was very short.
