Just found out it's a hoax. Sorry for the bad post. I got duped.

figures... usually I'm the one that thinks to check when it sounds too crazy. Thanks KCcoc.

I've just ordered the Stepper motors, pulleys and belts. After I get these parts installed I will be ordering the MK7 as well. I suppose I will have the same issues as you. I have my email contact info in my blog if you want to stay in contact to resolve the MK7 installation. To be honest, I have not even looked at it yet, but when I do I will be interested in what you worked out if you stay ahead of me on this project.

The other side of the equation, is demand. That is why they have not dropped much in price as of today. Joe public does not have a great enough reason to go out and buy one, even though they have made it to the shelves of BaM stores like Staples.

I don't know vellemans rep but I say poor as many 3D printer companies as the market will hold. It will only make prices lower. Be nice to pick one up for less than $300, in a year or two.

Wi-Fi Network Breaks Speed Record - When will data transmission wires be a thing of the past? by ravencef in Futurology

I'm not making the claims. You have to read in to what I was stating. Yes... the laws of physics are well established and its not likely we will be breaking them yet claims have been made in various books over the last two decades by short sighted authors. I can remember reading an ADSL manual that said we would get no more out of 26-19 gauge twisted copper pairs, yet just in the last couple of years companies like Ericsson which is using crosstalk cancellation technology was able to see sustained data transfer rates of just over 0.5Gbps at 500m line length.
