"It comes with software that allows users to search and browse objects online. Once they have picked something they would like to print they drag it into the printer and hit print." I imagine (and hope) we can make our own designs too.

I imagine (and hope) we can make our own designs too.[/QUOTE]Their page claims that it "Supports and uses open source software (for advanced users)" which to me sounds like RepRap standards. It also supports .stl and .obj so that should be all fine and dandy :smile:
This sounds really cool and I really want to get one as it is like £178 but they plan on getting them to backers between August 2014 and March 2015 so I could be waiting nearly a year and by then other affordable 3D printers could already be out. Because of the potential nearly a year delivery time I am very hesitant to buy one.
