I don't want to buy a $1,725 3D printer from 4chan. I’m sure the first thing a real marketing team would change about this company is the name. I don’t want to buy a $1,725 3D printer from 4chan.

My impression is that not enough of the reprap hardware vendors are contributing to the software side of things. Now that there are a number of quality machine designs, software is where the next leap forward could be made.
