Thanks, that was interesting reading!
I have to say, considering the number of components, the design effort and how refined it is both regarding the hardware and the software it is reasonably priced :-)
Maybe they are making the money on selling resin though.

And the tanks ;)
(That was the biggest issue at the FabLab -- broken tanks)

I dont think that the tanks are too expensive for what it is tough, i did look into recoating the tanks with new pdms, and you had to do more than 4-5 tanks at a time to be able to do it cheaper than just buying new tanks, since the pdms was quite expensive and did not have a fantastic shelf life. (dont quote me on the exact numbers, it was a while ago)

The teardown was very intresting to see, really nice engineering in there!
