Pro:
  • Plug and play
  • No need to know anything technical
  • No need to calibrate
Con:
  • Expensive
  • no eco-friendly materials
  • materials are not easy to recycle

  • no way to do an easy self repair (call the cervice center)
  • No DIY upgrades
  • Closed hard- and software

What the average RepRap designers could learn from this:

  • Stop working on over engineering nifty stuff
  • Make desings simpler and more easy to build
  • Make the design with the customer in mind (the person who has to put it all together)
  • Make something that just works
