Full disclosure: I'm the contractor that designed the USB version of the Peachy Printer, but have nothing to do with the YXE3D other than being a mentor of sorts to their electronics lead. http://www.yxe3d.com http://www.yxe3d.com Last I heard, they're on the cusp of shipping what is essentially the Peachy in a better form factor with all of the rough edges worked out (eg successfully going through a laser safety classification). The Peachy was legitimately close to being a success, and had the other founder (who I've never met) not stolen the money, I'm pretty sure it would have shipped. Still a bit grouchy about all that. I put a pile of creative engineering into the electronics and firmware, only to have the project scuttled by the finance fuck up. And while that team probably started out having insufficient experience building and shipping a product, they did a pile of learning and were on the cusp. I'm very glad that yxe3d is keeping the design alive, it's just unfortunate that the Kickstarter backers won't be made whole.
