It was just a few months ago, in April, that we covered the unveiling of a new Kickstarter campaign from the tech manufacturer Anker. At the time, we were excited because of the amazing creative potential that comes from developing a 3D texture printer known as the eufyMake E1 (a printer capable of printing on different types of surfaces). Today, however, we're more interested in the fact that this campaign has been the most successful Kickstarter to date, raising over $45 million towards their goal.
The initial ask was only for $500,000, but additional gifts were unlocked with higher goals, the final of which was $40 million and unlocked an option for donors to get a new printhead in the event of failure, as well as an additional 30% off replacements purchased in the future. The printer will be released under the eufyMake name and is known as the eufyMake E1. This printer is able to print 3D textures onto a wide variety of surfaces.
