A major difference between this printer project and many (most?) others on Kickstarter is the team behind it. These guys are seasoned pros at every aspect of design, production, and marketing. I have no doubt they can get the thing made and that it will perform as advertised. It's a beautiful and beautifully-engineered machine with a very complete feature set, and for $800 it was a no-brainer for me to sign on even though I already own a pair of Ups.
