I'm not yet in the market for SLS -- I'm more of a resin-head... but I'm so happy you all exist and are working to drive down the prices so aggressively. It fills me with hope that SLS will come down to the price of a high-end FDM printer some day, and make it a no-brainer to snag one for the shop :). Thank you for all your hard work!

And is there a plan for the propriety parts you developed to come down in price, and release a kit for a max of $1000-$1500? Also how do you remove powder from a fully closed part like eg. a football? Or sneakers that need air pockets?

"1 hour includes 20 minutes of heatup and 30 minutes of cooldown." - Ouch. This means its VERY power hungry and needs A TON of heat and is very slow. Which you already explained in another video and you are not hiding it. But that is of course a difficult thing for home / non-professional users. This thing will emit TONS of heat and cost A LOT of energy. I have not yet found the "pros" for such a system. Expensive, slow and high ongoing cost. The powder will probably also be much more expensive then PLA filament / resin. And hollow parts are probably also a nightmare - just like resin printers?
