Looks promising and with the backing of Xiaomi they will probably scale fast too. However from my own past experience of attempting to bring a 3D printer to market the pricing is a bit too aggressive by even Shenzhen standards and seems purely like an endeavor in burning money to capture marketshare.
Unfortunately, it's not that great. I've been following the campaign since the beginning - it quickly reached ~750k, but in the next three weeks they only raised ~100k. Generally, I'm not saying it's a bad result, 860k USD is a lot of money for a Chinese startup, but it's nowhere near the successes of Bambu Lab or Snapmaker. Not to mention AnkerMake.

Of course! You already said that under Xiaomi article, and I missed it. Now it makes much more sense, and BL may be in deep trouble...
As of date the Kickstarter is nearing 1MM in backers! Wild!
