Interesting!

If I had $179 USD not earmarked for something else, I would definitely join in on that. I won't be able to model my own miniatures, but at least I could custom-make my bases as I need them.

I've been wanting to try out 3d printing, but after research, decided not now. After seeing Tiko, I was wrong. Backed it.

Still like to know what quality print that gives, in real terms

Uses the same system as a makerbot, so not good enough for figure miniatures but would be good for alien corridors & buildings.

Just backed it. 50 microns is not enough for figures but fine for many bits of scenery.

It gives $179 USD worth of quality print :)

I need to talk myself in to this :)

I'm not big on Kickstarters, but this one is tempting me mightily!

Looks like a bit of a run away Kickstarter. 25 days to go and already they are committed to manufacturing 5000+ units in 7 months. Their price point makes this very tempting. Kind of glad I'm not working in their fulfillment department.

I don't know… having already been burned for $300 USD by the Makibox KS, I'm leery about jumping in again on a KS with overly-optimistic production goals.
