We are intrigued by the Cubibot, a new 3d printer on Kickstarter.

According to Cubibot:

Cubibot is an affordable, user-friendly, high-quality 3D printer with a compact and dynamic design made to fit your lifestyle. Cubibot balances functionality and ease of use without compromising features. Matching the performance and quality of expensive, professional 3D printers at an affordable cost, Cubibot enables you to realize all your imaginations!

It seems like a solidly designed device and would work well in educational environments, especially since it is completely enclosed and it offers an on-board air filter too.

From their Kickstarter Page here are some interesting highlights to the printer:

We are going to get a review unit later on and at that point we can test, review and let people know our opinion of it.

So far we are impressed with the design and implementation.

Please check them out on kickstarter:

The printer is being offered in two colors:

In my opinion it is definitely worth a look!
