Since this thing hasn't been produced yet, how could anybody know more about this than what's on the Kickstarter page? All I can say is that it starts out with an outright lie:
3DPandoras: The first full color 3d printer of powder tech.
There have been full-color powder-bed printers for a decade or so, that work much better than they've got the Pandora to do, judging from the one picture of a colored part they show (which simply gradates from one color to another, rather than producing a photographic color field). I've got one myself: the Z-corp Spectrum 510. Printers like that are available from 3D Systems (which took over Z-corp a few years back). They are now making color printers that use plastic powder, rather than the gypsum-based powder that mine uses, so the results are more durable.
If you can't afford one, don't waste your money on a Kickstarter project that will likely fail. Wait to get one at WalMart, and in the meantime send your files to Shapeways for printing in "sandstone".
