It's fucking awesome G, you'd shit your pants.
Came assembled and ready to go, the European distro is just up the road in Ripon. Yes materials are expensive, a ltr of goo costs about 90 quid and you need to replace the tray every 2-3 ltrs at about 40 quid, so it's about 3 times the cost of 1kg eBay filament rolls.
Quality of builds and materials are far beyond sls and objet, on par with all but the very highest res sla.
Build area is 125x125x165mm, which sounds a bit small but in reality I could never print anything like that on our fdm machine without it warping, which obviously isn't an issue with this. Also it seems to be really easy to split big bodies up and stick them together.
There are 5-6 materials including flexible.
It's about twice as fast as the old printer, at the same volume.
Cost was a big concern for me, figured it might mean running off protos would be more of a consideration and less disposable, but it's going to replace and improve 90% of the stuff we'd have sent off and paid through the nose for, the savings on that should offset the additional cost of the stuff I would've done on the old machine.
