    Here is a kickstarter that puts SLS at around $7K USD

    They already produce an FDM printer so this may be a bit safer than a lot of those "I have a dream" kinda companies. Absolutely no word on how they recover unused powder, which is vital in making these printers cost effective.

    Sinterit also lowered the pricing on their Lisa printer to about $6K USD

    This printer is already available and has been in production. Their powder recovery process is completely manual but they do offer a sieve to make mixing the used and unused powder a bit easier.
