I don't see how they can hit those specs at that price point. The metal parts alone should cost close to that, even with mass production. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

I would be interested, but still recovering from being burned on the TIKO Kickstarter...

It sounds too good to be true, but I am not the early adopter type. Hope it works out.

Burned how?
I'm waiting, very long overdue on two separate Kickstarter projects. One is fairly consistent with updates, the other has gone dark...

Tiko has stopped manufacturing and shipping product. They got in over their heads, ran into multiple issues and finally ran out of money.
They seemed to imply they are hoping to get some investors to "bail them out" but for now if you invested you flushed money down the drain :cry:

I wonder if this is the same company? Anyone heard anything about the Snapmaker Artisan 3 in 1 printer?
