Isn't the initial lack of wax supports going to be an issue, how would you deal with anything overhanging vertically?

Even so have to say I'm giddy like a school girl about this, even if I can't afford this one it looks like it's going to be a massive stride in bringing the tech to people like us with our requirements

Very doable.

Shipping plus 20% import tax pushes it outside of my budget unfortunately.

Its the kind of thing which would be difficult for an individual to afford, I know I'd struggle and then even if I did have one it wouldn't be constantly in use. If there was a geographically close group interested in this sort of thing then I could see that being a big help and would mean it could get to see more frequent use.

All i saw was the little cathedral and Tower and was like WANT!! that is very cool.
And it looks like Todderman is going full homer
you should never go full homer...

omg... I WANT NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

I'm not sure about this.

Those example photos of the bird cages next to the quarter aren't exactly great. And everything else they show is bigger than a typical 6mm gaming model (read: vehicle). The layer resolution is awesome, but the horizontal res leaves a bit to be desired (edited because I misunderstood the description).

Then there is the fact that, even though $2700 is an amount I'd be willing to pay for something like this, there is no way I would trust any kickstarter project with that amount of cash. Hopefully the post-kickstarter cost will be less than $4k

This... this is pretty cool.

No, most people wouldn't cough up this amount to a single project, but if a group got together and split the cost up, I could see it happening. We know people capable of making designs, so that isn't an issue either. The major downside I see is that one liter of resin is going to be $150 - not a deal breaker, since you could get a lot of 6mm parts for that price, but the resupplies are going to be a hit in the wallet.

I think it is pretty neat that the resin is stable until printed - no waste.

Downside: Initial investment, time to print the model (one hour per 15mm height).
Upsides: No molds, print on demand, unlimited design potential.

Does anyone here have any experiance with one of these machines, will it actually print epic scale models to a reasonable level of detail and finish, if so then i would consider chipping in towards a group purchase of one of these.

What do others here think?
