I was on their email list, took about a year to get to "market" [kickstarter]. even longer than the prusa nozzle, which took way long. Only Arcol nozzle has taken longer to get their new nozzle tongue.

I don't see what the Pico offers over the E3D or Prusa.


Edit: I admit its beautiful machining, but I don't see that its worth it. I have been so strongly won over by E3D's short hot zone.

Same here. A year is a long time to go from prototype to final design. Short melt zone (E3D) is better in my opinion. More parts isn't necessarily bad - aluminum is much cheaper to machine than SS.

as opposed to the E3D which comes in 3 separate pieces
