I agree it will be interesting to see the reception this gets upon launch. If this thing prints the way they claim it will, this is a game changer. You will see hundreds of thousands of printers being sold within a years time. Whether it will be the MOD-t or another affordable printer, who knows. I do think Makerbot could eventually come down in price substancially, and leverage their Thingiverse platform as a means to profit off the expanding market. Sort of like how Google is trying to make the internet as cheap and fast as possible to take advantage of the expanding market. for their search ads.
