Here&#x27;s a link to his Kickstarter (sadly, we&#x27;re late to the game): www.kickstarter.com&#x2F;projects&#x2F;117421627&#x2F;the-peachy-printer-the-first-100-3d-printer-and-sc<p>To me, this guy is a genius and a true hacker -- a genius, because he approached a complex problem with existing solutions, and found another solution that is orders of magnitude simpler. A true hacker because he brilliantly exploited existing mechanisms to achieve his goal.<p>Obviously, the tech is v1, but I can&#x27;t see what he does given the funds he got. Godspeed!

I agree about his genius. He went completely outside the box in numerous ways to arrive at his unbelievably simple solution.<p>His attitude is just as unique as his thought process.

Wow impressed and jealous of his thinking outside the box. Using sound to control the laser beam is just crazy and awesome.<p>And he&#x27;s not going to patent it? Very nice guy. Also made in blender hehe.
