Thanks, that was interesting reading!
I have to say, considering the number of components, the design effort and how refined it is both regarding the hardware and the software it is reasonably priced
Maybe they are making the money on selling resin though.

An impressive amount of engineering and thought went into this thing!

And the tanks
(That was the biggest issue at the FabLab -- broken tanks)

I dont think that the tanks are too expensive for what it is tough, i did look into recoating the tanks with new pdms, and you had to do more than 4-5 tanks at a time to be able to do it cheaper than just buying new tanks, since the pdms was quite expensive and did not have a fantastic shelf life. (dont quote me on the exact numbers, it was a while ago)
The teardown was very intresting to see, really nice engineering in there!
