I purchased a Formlabs Form1 from the Kickstarter a year and a half ago. Received it about a year ago and have made some pretty cool practical parts (replacement parts for a pinball machine, custom brackets, etc.) Being a resin printer, the objects come out with far better accuracy than any of the FDM (filament) printers I've seen thus far (at least without extra finishing.)

Originally the software and documentation was pretty sparse, but it has gotten drastically better over time. Biggest complaint about the printer is the cleanup of the parts, but once you have it down it's not a bad process.

Wish I had time to do more with it.
