I love Make, but I unsubscribed from their Youtube channel because they tend to blast 700 videos all at once during Makerfaire.

Interesting video.

If you build it they will come. Then they will make fun of it, tell you it's not worth doing and go home and try to copy you.
If a picture is worth a thousand words then being there is worth a thousand pictures.

Hmmmmmm. That wasn't a pleasant read. Thanks. Still tempted though, as I haven't seen anything negative about his filaments. I liked the accuracy of the size. That really caught my eye. But then again, if I order and it all goes wrong, I would only have myself to blame. Maybe best sticking to the suppliers I know and trust. Pity, looked like a good setup.
