I'm not super surprised by that. They're almost the only company competing at this low of a price range. I looked at laser cutters that could cut acrylic, and I don't think I found a single one cheaper than $2k or maybe $1.4k and that was for offbrand Chinese stuff. These cutters live in a weird market segment of people that want to work with a complicated device, but who don't want working with it to be complicated. It's, in some ways, an inverse of 3D printing, which has a lot of people who revel in the complexity of the device. I love my 3D printers, and putting them together from scratch so I kind of know how it functions. I can't imagine my girlfriend buying something like a Cricut that she has to assemble herself. > If you think you're going to use a Cricut to make things you can sell on Etsy or the like, you will be sorely disappointed. Do people really do that? I always presumed that Cricut's were for one offs or prototypes, and that by the time you had an Etsy store, you would just order printed and cut stickers from China. I may well be wrong, I just figured there would be huge cost savings for doing so because of the factory's economy of scale.
