A look at a large, promising 3D printer that tries to check all the boxes, but isn’t quite ready for prime time yet. Also, how not to do crowdfunding.

Loved your laugh, lol it made me laugh :), The screws issue is just crazy, what are they thinking? Plus I totally agree with the support screws going into Acrylic plastic, Man I wish people would stop using acrylic plastic in 3D printers and refrigerators. To me, when I look at that printer I can see potential, but never double at that price, The market is already flooded with $1500 and not your average user would pay that much for one, I would like to know what the sales statistics of 3D printers world wide in the $200-$500 range vs $1200-$1500 I bet its 100 to 1. Anyways another excellent informative video once again, Thanks for the review 
Well done. And your comment on beta machines really resonated! Your business should not be considered a marketing arm to drum up pre-sales interest… Unless it’s fully baked and ready to rock!
All my best

Shit, I got that too - “Make your own printers!”…I’m still trying to figure out a way to do that where I will be happy with the end result.
with the price of the folgertech ft5 and the makerfarm pegasus being a slow as they are. why do these startups think they can compete charging allot more for garbage? bet those “hiwins” arnt hiwins but counterfeit rails and shuttles.
Brilliant review Thomas, you have saved some people from a bad experience here. It is truly unbelievable to see the mix up of screws and nuts as spacers, unbelievably poor build and table design.
