I think I'll superglue a PID to my presto abs smoother and save myself $325.

I have decided against this one due to the fact there is very little on showing/explaining how it actually works.

I don't believe in magic it would be nice to have more specifics on how it actually works.

The PLA is one of the alarm bells for me. We know it won't work but they claim it without evidence.

Interesting, though, I thought acetone didn't dissolve PLA. I like the idea of a machine that handles the mess and danger and delicate timing -- not sure if I like it $400 though, but maybe.

Hi all,

just stumbled across this on Kickstarter:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ma … f=category

$400 US plus delivery, only days to go.

Seems like they are a bit light on some of the details. I'm quite keen but don't want to back something that isn't developed properly and runs way behind schedule.

Please discuss.
