Re: Maybe botObjects is legit after all
That is very impressive. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this, now that they've shown some work done with it.

Ow, thats gunna hurt.... Considering a 1KG Roll of PLA has on average 330 Metres (ABS is ~400m's due to its lower weight per cubic centimeter)... you are getting about 450grams for $49.. and I am not sure if its the cynic in me, but they aren't saying "180m per cartridge", they say the "cartridge system" (Which says to me each 'cartridge' actually holds 100gm's, as the *system* contains 500gm's.... )...
Its a nice printer.. but I hate the concept of shoving 3D Printers down the InkJet printer route

Richrap was working on something like this. Havnt heard much being updated about it though.
Re: Maybe botObjects is legit after all

You could always sell your soul and get this

It does 390,000(!) colors already.

Thanks for the heads up, Daniel. Definitely confirms for me some long-standing suspicions I had. It's simply vaporware.

Re: Maybe botObjects is legit after all
BotObjects has lied to me and broken their terms and conditions.
I have been waiting for a refund for 9 weeks. I backed them over a year ago....
Even if it did everything they say it will do the way they have handled me as a customer is unacceptable- and I preordered 2 of them!
I have now been waiting for the CEO to approve my refund. yeah, right.
Re: Maybe botObjects is legit after all
Fact: «botobjects.com» attracts money from citizens under the obligation to deliver a miracle product. After that, no money, no printer, no answer! A lot of people are deceived. Me too. Said the Prosecutor General.

Re: Maybe botObjects is legit after all
the new Paper 3D printers advertised at the CES show also had high costs of the materials mostly ink since it uses full color bubble jet ink to soak each page of paper then glue between each layer and cutting shapes each layer. so time and material cost used would be much more than extruded plastic types. just a bit lower ecology waste plus printers cost more.
