I am posting my predictions on here for posterity and prediction.
1 year will go by (if funded), and the pledges will still not be fulfilled. Project Creators will continue to post updates (rarely) about manufacturing issues out of their control.
Why do I say this inspite of their "team".
1. In the Indiegogo video the Raft (outdated technique for printing replaced by attached brims)looks like it's 3mm tall! 2. The scan of the duck was horrible and didn't even print correctly, because of the band-aids they had on their before scan (stupid?) 3. Most of the imagery (95%) of the 3D printer/scanner was a 3D rendered image and animation (Computer Generated Image... CGI...FAKE)
Don't ask me how I really feel about this

I don't think it will make it either, All-in-one machines rarely perform good at the "all" part, it's more like so-so like me, jack of all trades master of non - lol. I would rather machines focus on a single task and do it really well.
So, how do you REALLY feel about this Phil?
Some things are meant to be closed. Your mind isn't one of them.
Are there other printers (without scan function) that use the same rotating platform and single linear axis X-Y movement? That part looks interesting at least. I wonder what effect it would have toward the edge of the bed where you'd lose resolution.
Hardware eventually fails. Software eventually works.

Polar machines are somewhat similar

That's a really interesting movement mechanism. I like the way the retraction is handled, too - quick snap and wipe the excess filament from the end.
