Easier to just buy one of these: http://www.peachyprinter.com/
Except this thing can be built right now instead of having to wait for the Kickstarter to finish, products to start shipping and then ordering and waiting on the post KS batch.
The Kickstarter finished October of last year.
Printers have already been delivered to the first, second, and third tier beta testers.
As of the latest update, printers for the first (Jul), second (Sep), and third (Oct) tier version one have been "pushed back" but there's no indication by how much. I believe this is the first schedule push back, so I wouldn't expect it to be a massive one. They did not sell-out their third tier version one, so I would assume anyone who orders from their "coming soon" store would expect delivery shortly after, or at the same time as the third tier version one Kickstarters.

The peachtree is one of the most innovative printers out there. Their drip system to remove one expensive stepper motor and moving platform is genius in my opinion.
The poor man's 3D printer looks to be a bit larger and is probably faster to print.

The peachyprinter's (not peachtree) drip system also drastically reduces the resin needed in comparison to existing DLP/SLA/Photolithographic type printers.
.. unless you're ultra-poor, sitting on a mountain of trash shipped to your destitute country by European nations who don't want the hassle of disassembling last years fad .. in which case, bonus! You've got something to do with all that trash.
True. The project is interesting nonetheless :)
Very impressive. A friend of mine tried to build something similar with some old flat bed scanners he managed to get from the local tip. Inevitably though, there is cost involved in the extruder head, electronics and software which killed the project dead for him.
