When I saw the image I thought it was a prototype. That's pretty funny.
It is a prototype, but honestly the production model doesn't look to much better. Warning, Twitter link
It's been printed on a textured sheet, lmao
That can't be a production product...God damn it i would be pissed if i paid for something and it turned up looking like that.
Not even that. My bog standard budget preassembled 3d printer already produces far better top layers than what's shown in those pictures.
It's using ten year old microcontroller technology too. And ten year old 3d printing technology.
I guess that's what you get when your kickstarter takes ten years to deliver.
Ok fair on the finish, but can we give an extra round of applause for this guy actually delivering something functional and not just the wish.com version. If it's just one guy honestly I'm ok with mediocre 3d printing.
At least he finally came through.
