Thanks for your comment. We are going for a relatively simple build and sacrificing a fair bit of precision. While we are sub-mm in this regard, a lot of industrial bots are getting 0.05mm and better. This doesn't matter for us so we figured what the hell. Also, we calculated BOM and assembly labor costs and decided we would take a relatively small margin on this design, hence the price point. Reliability? Yeah, not as good, but we'll refund major failures for the first year since we have decent confidence in being able to put together this simple system. Plus we figure that like us there's a whole lot of people who would be interested in making this "sacrifice", or risk-reward calculation.
