In your opinion if a printer had an aluminium frame and no skin with a print size double that of this Replicator
http://store.makerbot.com/replicator-z18 and the price of $2500 and 4 times the speed with the resin costing 50% more of current filament and 10 times higher quality down from 400 micron X/Y to 35 micron X/Y. Would you buy it?
If you could get a pretty metal skin for the printer with 1 or 2 extra small nice-to-have features and ofcourse still the features listed before. Would you pay $3500 - $4500? What if you could print 10 times faster, have an integrated fully functional laptop where you can actually plan the prints and print from, skin and all the nice-to-have features that you didn't know you wanted. Would you pay $6500 for it?
What would convince you to buy something like that from a Kickstarter rather than spending your $6.5k at Makerbot, if you where to spend $6.5k. I have a Replicator 2X and I bought it because of the marketing and the pretty box I must say and because the forum was very active so I could get alot of help
