            <description><![CDATA[ While New Matter wants (wanted) to control the whole software ecosystem for most users, it is actually possible to use any slicer with the MOD-t.  Profiles have been posted for Cura, Slic3r, Simplify 3d, etc, and you can use a low-level utility function to send the raw g-code to the machine.  Unfortunately, there's no decent machine control panel, and it's pretty clear that the ability to use 3rd party slicers was a bit of an afterthought.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Ah these guys.<br />
<br />
This is what happens when you try to control the whole software ecosystem.<br />
Proprietary slicers have been rejected by consumers, as well as appears the proprietary cloud for objects.<br />
<br />
The machine did get a lot of kudos for the platform and drive system LoboCNC, so kudos to you.<br />
<br />
These days I am thinking expertise is what people will pay for, maybe.<br />
Or simply REALLY expensive stuff. o shiny !]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I helped develop the initial New Matter MOD-t prototype.  I can't say I'm a big fan of the direction they took the printer, but it did come pretty close to being a completely hands-off printer for a reasonable price.  It did fill a niche in schools and the like, where people wanted a very basic 3d printer without having to know any of the details of 3D printing.   Unfortunately, it doesn't look like that market is big enough to support even a modest-sized company like New Matter.<br />
<br />
BTW, here is a link to my original prototype X-Y mechanism: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=6&amp;v=eqscOkfifoE" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">youtube video</a>]]></description>
