Awesome that this tech is hitting the shops at long last - worth understanding that you';ll be paying a £98 premium for buying it from your local store, but for that you get local warranty I guess... 699.99 EUR    =    601.864 GBP and
Recommended retail price for Europe: €699

I work at maplin`s returns dept , I can`t wait for the 1000 reasons why this is going to been ( half ) returned.
So far I haven`t had the house-brick instead of the product , but it`s got pretty close.

Given my experience with my 3D printer.. you are going to get a lot of returns ..

Actually don';t think the price is that great btw

funny how they never show u the trimming and tidying up part, but the finished design in that video looked not to bad.

A work colleague is getting very twitchy about getting one of these. I reckon he';ll break in a day or so and pre-order one

What about one of these instead :-

Considering its maplins I wouldn';t expect it to be a reasonable price
