In public speaking situations you always want to hype your best aspects. It can be hard to hype "cheap printer" and "new shiny printer" at the same time.

Forget new and shiny, I don't want to pay for shiny. Henry Ford once said that you could have any color car you'd like...just as long as it was black. Still sold a crap load of cars though. I like the fact that you guys are making this into an assembly line product to make available to the many. Hell, even desktop ink jet printers cost an arm and a leg back when they were first introduced; just took some smart folks to figure out how to produce it cheaply.

My only issue with these interviews is they all seem pretty much the same, where they talk about 3d printing and the printer they are showing off. But nobody seems to show everyday applications. I think if this is to make it into the homes of the many as a normal housewares product, you guys should show some more useful aspects of it as I'm sure there are many who will see these interviews, but not fully realize the potential. Sometimes it takes literally showing them what you can use it for before they realize, "I NEED THAT!" Then maybe that 500 dollar price tag won't seem like such a big hit to the wallet if they realize they can save some money in the long run by printing their own parts or products, (beyond just a bottle opener). This is just an opinion though.

But, nothing says uncomfortable like that interview with Mark Zuckerberg about Facebook privacy settings!

Interview starts at 1:00.
