Topic: The Spamprinter - An cheap delta printer coming to KickStarter soon.
What do you guys think?
Searching around it seems that the price would be $400-$500.
Almost the same price as the Solidoodle 2.

They should come back when they can print a self-respecting Yoda.

I don't really think of any of those Kickstarter printers as existing until they are shipping and are close to making them available post Kickstarter. Otherwise you are only buying the possibility of having a working printer some time in the distant future.

+1...BTW, I think in some cases the best way to use Kickstarter is as a Pre-order site. Ideally, you have the product VERY well developed / defined and at the brink of production. The influx of cash helps cover final tooling and production costs, and then you are just filling orders over a period of time.

It's fun to watch. It's fast, but that is mostly because of the bowden. All movement is from the 3 arms, so there isn't wobble from a leadscrew on Z, complicated arrangements of belts like the SD's. It may have its own unique potential problems or artifacts, but I don't know what they are. There is one branch that uses sphere magnets as the connection between the arms and the extruder platform which is really cool. If you need to do something with it, you can just yank it off the arms.
Here is one that can be programmed to change tools. He has it picking up a z probe, you could use that to switch between a plastic extruder and a paste extruder. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW-z6XN-1II

I have seen deltas and scaras for pick-and-place designs. In the end, I am more partial to an Hbot design as you get the speed but more rigidity.
