We think price is important and that the true power of 3D printing will come when we break out of the niche and into the mass market. Beyond price, we're designed from the start as a manufactured product, which led to much different component selection and engineering choices. These different design decisions gave us a much more rigid, robust, and quiet machine, while also allowing us to leverage the economies of scale and manufacturing skill of the global supply chain.
It is prototype hardware and some elements are not where we'd wish them to be. We have a fully revamped design for the bed carriage and drive assembly.

I'm running product at Panda Robotics.
Speaking of rigid - what's it with the heatbed (?) bending to the left as soon as it changes direction in the video (at around 0:50 - 0:55)
