Topic: Lightest Direct Drive Extruder in the World!

I recently saw a new extruder that is using a flex drive system that is being crowdfunded.  I am looking for a new extruder to replace the bowden setup since I can't print flex materials.  I looked into the Flex3Drive system, but they don't have an effector that will work on my printer.  I have my own design and I need it light as possible.  Has anyone heard about this extruder or know more information besides whats on the site?  It looks like an interesting design.  I'm not too fond of the colors though.
