Interesting concept and potentially quite useful ... Still very much a v0.1 look though, confirmed by the article's "prototype"comment. Indeed this still need loads of design refinement before it becomes marketable, but I would then be the first to sign up for a production unit

Well we're up to v0.97 and now we're using freaking lasers, not just 3d printers...

My wife has been using an older prototype for several months daily and no issues. She absolutely loves it. If it passes the wife test you know you're on the right track
