GOOD! I dismiss other 3d printers immediately if they require some proprietary filament cartridge.
Nice to see the price dropping on 3d printers. :-)
- masonhensley 13y agoIt looks like it is just a hopper instead of a proprietary spool[1]. I would imagine you can use any 1.75mm filament in it. [1] Example of a proprietary spool: http://cubify.com/cube/store_parts.aspx http://cubify.com/cube/store_parts.aspx
- druiid 13y agoOh man, I've never heard of their printers before. The multi-color $2500 version looks really cool. Now if this Kickstarter project could do that for $400 I would be all over it.
- foobar456 13y agoso if you could get a $2500 product for $400 you would buy it?
- redblacktree 13y agoYou bet!
- muyuu 13y agoI would also dismiss those with proprietary software or "cloud" software if that's the only way to operate them. It's a tad more sophisticated but they're trying to tie you in just as much. I don't oppose if it's optional tho. It's a fair way to monetise. But if it's the only way to realistically operate your printer, then you've basically been duped.
