MiiCraft, currently a project on Indiegogo (a site similar in nature to Kickstarter), aims to bring more affordable high-resolution 3D printers to it’s backers fully assembled.
High-resolution 3D printers "print" by using a digital projector to shine light on a pool of special resin, which hardens under the light. This way, the printer can print more accurately than it would with a convention extrusion-based system. The resin that it uses comes in different colors and opacities, so you can print with more variety than conventional 3D printers.
The MiiCraft isn’t a printer you would typically get if you were just getting into 3D printing, unless you got $1,200 to blow on a swanky gadget. If you’ve dabbled with 3D printing and want to get more accurate with your prints, though, this could be a cheap solution compared to other advanced 3D printers available.
