    Sadly Scott all us plebs out in the colonies dont get the Q & A section on the videos which is a shame as it is always super interesting. Did he mention the price at all? Exciting times ahead I reckon.

    $794.95 is whats on the store site. Doesn't give any specs at all, Just says "contact us". Just came out last week from what TJ said.
    What? You don't hoist yourself out of bed at 1AM to watch a class live?

    Used to do that Scott but you never catch up on the sleep. Think we were there for the first episode - loved it and watched it in bed!

    So it's only available for the desktop.....I gather the desktop is rigid enough for the tolerances required and Buddy not????? Or some other reason?

    Cheers

    Thanks Kyle, But it just confused me Not 3DPrinter interested so haven't really researched. I did like noting that the heating pad(so that's what it was, was only needed for one filament, and the other type you have the full 24X18" bed(nice for topo's and lake depths?), but don't know pro's and con's of the filaments though. Nice that it can piggyback without affecting cutting area!
    Way down the road though as we've burnt through most of our capital and on the last 20K "Slug", (I really have to watch Dad's cash and get Kirk running in the black SOON).

    Oops. Not sure Michael, but they did mention the Desktops resolution and I noted they were running on bare extrusion, so probably even my big box MDF spoilboard(really hating cheap uncoated MDF at this point) would mess it up? Don't know.
