That's a great video thanks. A relevant part for this thread is where he says:
> We're really lucky that the first and second-generation users haven't broken their silence but at one point they will ... [they'll] say "well actually it's been pretty tough going, actually I had to wait another three weeks for this part thing and my extruder jammed up and ... I'm spending more time on the machine than making stuff." [0]
Seems to be what's coming up here; personally I had no idea they were this far from consumer-ready.
