smh If you’re going to pull a fast one, at least do some research…

That looks like a pretty obvious scam, especially with flexible funding.
Oh, it’s clearly a scam. But, seriously, if you’re going to pull a scam, at least do a little homework.
Or maybe it’s someone making a point about the proliferation of scams in the 3D Printing crowd-funding world…
Noob question, why is it a pretty obvious scam?
@Gavin_Peters All of the printers, and at least many of the printed parts use filament, not resin. I didn’t read much of the text.
I also find it amusing that the printer in the center uses proprietary filament. But maybe thats just me.

And the picture of the team = http://d2oadd98wnjs7n.cloudfront.net/file_attachments/157688/files/20131027133541-20130209-3D-Printing-Stem-Cells-Edinburgh-Team.jpg?1382906141 Printing stem cells… geez.
Technically, the polymers that these the printers shown use are resins that have already undergone polymerization, but the campaign says that it’s compatible with the Form1, which prints by a completely different process of selective photo-polymerization, which means that it starts with un-polymerized resin. If they hadn’t mentioned the Form1, I could have chalked it up to a language barrier issue, but confusing the form1 with FDM machines means that they have no idea how either process works.
And the campaign is gone
Darn, i missed it…
@Jan-Pieter
That picture is an image of the legitimate 3D printing team at Edinburgh University who genuinely ARE printing with stem cells. They had an exhibit at the 3D Print Show London.
Me and @Joshua_Rowley spoke to the beardy one about valves. Solenoid valves.
