LESS THAN A month into their Kickstarter project to build a “friendly， affordable 3-D printer，” Panda Robotics has canceled their seemingly on-track campaign for PandaBot.

“We don’t want our Kickstarter backers， those who put their money on the line for us， to settle for a beta product，” the team wrote today on their blog and their Kickstarter page. The Panda Robotics Team decided to drop the project so it could make a better printer later on. They also cite interest in the project from distributors and academic institutions， which could indicate other support for the PandaBot.

A look at Kicktraq’s record of PandaBot’s funding shows a series of negative-bid days in the middle of the campaign， where backers actually removed their funding. The campaign would have easily reached its goal but for those days （and might have anyway）。 That doesn’t mean they’re necessarily related to the cancellation， though， and Kicktraq’s Adam Clark says it’s not uncommon for long-running projects to see negative days.

Panda Robotics is still targeting early 2013 as a release date for the PandaBot， and are offering backers a T-shirt and a $200 credit toward the printer when it becomes available. There’s no indication what the printer will cost when it finally arrives， but the original promise to funders was a machine at the $800 level. For would-be home printers who just can’t wait， the Solidoodle， and the Orca （in kit form） are available for around $1，000 or less.|

Kickstopper：經(jīng)濟(jì)實(shí)惠型3D打印機(jī)

不到一個(gè)月的時(shí)間到他們的Kickstarter的項(xiàng)目，以建立一個(gè)“友好，經(jīng)濟(jì)實(shí)惠的3-D打印機(jī)，”熊貓機(jī)器人已經(jīng)取消了他們看似在賽道上競(jìng)選PandaBot。

“我們不希望我們的Kickstarter的支持者，這些人把他們的錢就行了，解決一個(gè)測(cè)試版的產(chǎn)品，”該研究小組寫道今天在他們的博客和他們的Kickstarter頁(yè)面。熊貓機(jī)器人團(tuán)隊(duì)決定放棄該項(xiàng)目可以以后做一個(gè)更好的打印機(jī)。他們還指出，對(duì)項(xiàng)目的興趣從經(jīng)銷商和學(xué)術(shù)機(jī)構(gòu)，這可能表明其他支持PandaBot。

一看PandaBot的資金Kicktraq的記錄顯示一系列的負(fù)面出價(jià)天的活動(dòng)中，在那里的支持者實(shí)際刪除其資金的中間。這場(chǎng)運(yùn)動(dòng)將很容易地達(dá)到其目標(biāo)，但對(duì)于那些天（并有可能是這樣）。這并不意味著他們必然涉及到取消，雖然和Kicktraq的亞當(dāng)·克拉克說，這并不是什么稀罕事長(zhǎng)時(shí)間運(yùn)行的項(xiàng)目，看到負(fù)面的日子。

熊貓機(jī)器人仍然瞄準(zhǔn)作為PandaBot的發(fā)布日期2013年年初，并提供一個(gè)支持者T恤和200美元的信用向打印機(jī)時(shí)可用。沒有跡象顯示什么，當(dāng)它終于到達(dá)打印機(jī)將花費(fèi)，但原來承諾的資助者是一臺(tái)機(jī)器，在800美元的水平。對(duì)于想成為家用打印機(jī)誰不能等待，在Solidoodle和逆戟鯨（以套件形式），可用于1000美元左右或更低。
