yeah only need to wait 2 years to finish the printer, spent £2000 and not even guaranteed to work when you have all the parts lol

i bought my 3d printer for £450, and some decent kits are £300 - £400 lol

Have you tried printing anything "vintage"? What's the biggest size you can print?

These were my thoughts exactly. You'll over pay for certain and you have no idea of the final quality or if it'll even work. Then what? Ask for your money back?? :lol:

These sound very good, but not sure they will catch on. I mean do you have to wear 3D glasses when using one? :?
