    Not me. Most of that stuff is the same stuff that was talked about at CES 2015 like it was coming out in the same year.

    Wow, the R2 is a pretty major deviation from the R1, all of the exterior has been completely overhauled. So @Mike Kelly , which do you prefer? The R1(with any of it's variants,) or the R2?

    The R2 doesn't actually exist yet, so the point is moot right now.

    Conceptual mockups and non-functioning prototypes are not the finished product. They had similar prototypes at CES2015.

    I haven't read much about CES this year, haven't had time. This weekend was the first couple of days I had to play, and I spent that playing with my printer. :p

    So far as the new printers go... Meh....

    They're not really demoing anything special or new, just a repackaging of existing tech. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I don't think I'm gonna jump up and grab one of them new FDM printers because the 2016 model is incrementally better than the one I have.

    Well... I wouldn't mind have a 1 cubic meter build volume to play with. BUT.... I have not that much money.

    I can't help but giggle at the idea of scented filament. Just seems... silly to me.

    That picture is as much as I know.


    I wouldn't buy the R2 or R2 mini but that's just my personal opinion
