The zim only allows its own proprietary gcode.. You can't upload from simplify3d, repetier or slic3r .. Too bad

They went ahead and used the proprietary cartridges instead of refillable... only the kickstarters get a refillable. With their non-refillable cartridges, the Zeepro Zim's filament costs $120 per kilogram... Super bad value.

Beautiful design, the right features and specs, and a seasoned team of pros that really looks like it can pull this off. Most professional and detailed Kickstarter presentation ever. Working prototypes that look 90% ready to go, and sample prints that look great. I'm in.

Hello Ben, You will have an example of our "hi res print" tomorow on our Kickstarter page. And a description of pva as well.

Hopefully they didn't jump the gun here with the PR. It's going to get buried before the kickstarter begins. Beginning to really hate no one showing hi res print examples.... It's a printer. It prints PVA cool!.... What is PVA exactly?
