They've also offered to provide backers with a 'reward' of some kind (I'd suspect perhaps a small discount on the price of a couple of spools) regardless of the kickstarter result.

But due to the survey results, it seems promising they will release Tritan and PCTPE in the near future with hopes of the other materials.

I'm sure Taulman will make an announcement when the kickstarter is over how they will be moving forward.

Survey for KS backers to enter preferences out of the 6 materials just came out - looks to me (putting two and two together and getting five of course) like they're considering limiting the scope to a less audacious variety of materials!

I was going to sell my printer.... Now not sure..... What happened to the 910 or whatever it was called? I think I still have an experimental roll 1/4 left. Very impressive stuff.

But they are good at getting new material, that is a good job done.

The project rewards are just "choice of x spools" to be determined after successful funding.

I do hope they produce a survey to gather that data, I'd expect them to have more success on that path.

I'm sure they dont want to make 4 types of Nylon but which ever type customers want to use. also the flexible materials are gaining interest

Maybe they should do a poll and see what materials people are most interested in...Then do this whole thing over again with only 2 or 3 new materials. If they know that most people are only interested in tritan/etc then why even bother launching other stuff at this time?

I wouldn't be surprised that even if the KS fails, it succeeds in giving him accurate data for what folks are interested in.  Polls are great, but people tend to go 'ooooh, I want that!'.  This way he gets an idea of 'If I am going to spend my money, this is what I would buy'.

They don't much care for orders of a few hundred pounds of this or a ton of that. Even 12 tons - they could crank through that in a week or two on a single extruder.

I guess you're right though, 3 materials with 10-15% higher cost per spool might have been better.

Usually folks buy this stuff by the train car - he wants to buy 2 tons of each. It's hard to even get a quote from a polymer manufacturer for an order that small.

This is how Kickstarter is supposed to work, with reasonable goals to get the job done - not $50k and then "aw crap we don't have enough money to pull this off".
