I'm very disappointed for three reasons, (1) I wanted to see it. I'm really interested in getting a 3D printer. (2) I wasted a lunch hour, and not to be a baby about it, but that is a "personal" time I really don't like to waste. (3) I have (had) a soft spot for YDI since I was a kid. It looked like they were going to be unable to capitalize the maker movement, this stunt looked like a good move, but, alas, same old YDI just mucking up a free lunch. They'll miss out on the maker movement to Microcenter and Amazon because they can't shoot straight.
Currently, I can't think of a serious reason to shop their again. > Mark Komarinski wrote: >> To clarify, they have the kits in stock (there were at least three >> behind them).
