    Quoted from Lonzo:

    I wonder if the 50% off is just a scheme to get people to buy now so they can get the money now. The articles I have read about the system say they want to get into the market for $2500. That's a lot less than $4000. I really want one but just not worth it to pull the trigger now.
    I hope they get the bugs worked out and when they are available for normal purchase, maybe they will "drop" the price to $2000-$2500.

    Hmm. Yeah this crazy prepay offer thing reminds of some other industry. what am I thinking of? lol.

    Regardless my buddy just bought one from here so hopefully it turns out well.

    Quoted from Laseriffic:

    Forget the cloud aspect of this.. How about that huge flame coming off the material in the video, where is the air assist?? You can't not have air assist on something your going to put in your home. The first thing that comes to mind is FIRE FIRE FIRE.. get a fire extinguisher, maybe 2. Interesting product but there are definitely some important things lacking.. the ventilation is also a major factor along with a filtration system, this will set you back $800.00 to $1000.00. The smells that come of some of this stuff ( PETG ) in particular is horrible and a good ported to the outside vent is a must not a vacuum hose out a window..lol

    But they are offering a $500 ventilation unit (with filtration) so it does not need to be vented outside. Do you suspect that may be inadequate?

    Im curious more about the air assist you mention. Why is it required? Given the materials they list as being capable of being cut and engraved do you believe air assist is necessary? Assuming someone is just using this at home for occasional use and not for commercial use would it really be necessary?

    Quoted from TheNoTrashCougar:

    I hope there is a big warning on these machines not to cut Plexiglass (polycarbanate sheet). These types of plastics also do not do well in laser cutters.

    What are typical plastic sets on pinball machines made of? Polycarbonate? Are pin plastics typically 1/8" thick?

    Quoted from TheNoTrashCougar:

    Typical plastic sets on pinball are made of PETG. You can cut it. Fumes are less toxic, but still need to be vented thoroughly.

    Any suggestions on the best/cheapest place to buy sheets of this from? Can they be found in all different colors?
