Way too cool...but I like this pancake printer better in the name of efficiency:

Actually, the guy being interviewed is a good buddy of mine and their business is doing pretty well!

In the end, I am more partial to an Hbot design as you get the speed but more rigidity.

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 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.

Searching around it seems that the price would be $400-$500.

Almost the same price as the Solidoodle 2.
