     The promise of bringing this type of printer to the home market, and
     adding to it the ability to print conductive materials into various
     shapes and levels of hardness, has us very excited

    Can I add to my pledge for additional cartridges?

   Yes, you can add the "Basic“, "Color" or "Conductive" cartridge set to
   your printer, by hitiing the "Manage your pledge" button on the top of the
   page and increasing your pledge by the amount of the Cartridge Set you
   want and writing us a short message on what Set you chose.

    What is the size of a cartridge?

   The cartridge capacity will be 600 ml.

    Does the printer sense cartridge volume and report how much print volume is
    available?

   Yes, there are multiple sensors that keep track of the cartridge level and
   material status. If one cartridge is going to be empty during the print,
   you will be notified and you can hot-swap it with a new one or refill the
   empty cartridge.

    Do the cartridge prices include shipping to USA?

   Yes, all prices are including shipping cost.

    You mentioned the cartridges are fillable. So, do I have the option to buy a
    larger bottle of resin and simply fill the cartridges?

   No, its just in case you use third party material.

    Are you willing to provide empty cartridges for refill and/or
    experimentation?

   Yes, we will provide empty cartridges for use with third party materials.

    Have you figured out what kind of materials can be used to print?

   You can use resin, Aqueous or eco-solvent based materials with a general
   viscosity lower than 200mPa @ 25 degrees celsius and a maximum
   particle/pigment size of 1micron. There are multiple sensors in the system
   that measure the flow and viscosity and control the piezo force as well as
   the closed loop heading system. In case of wrong properties of the
   material, the printer will not inject the material into the printhead to
   prevent any problems or damage.

    Will there be castable resin for the NexD1?

   We are already developing castable resin for the NexD1. We are going to
   release it once our Kickstarter campeign is finished and our online shop
   is available. The price for a castable cartridge will be around 60$.

    Are there any food-safe resins planned?

   Not at the moment, as we are focusing more strongly expanding our current
   multi material capabilities. When the time comes, we will put our
   attention to this as well.

    How high is the operating temperature of the "high temperature" material?

   Up to 500°C, to achieve full soldering capabilities.

    What resins are either available or imminent (within 6 months of campaign
    close)?

   In addition to our current pledge cartridge sets, we are going to release
   castable, abs-like and magnetic material. Once we ship out all our
   printers, we are going to be focused on the development of even more
   materials.

    Could you show off any examples of blended colors and multi-color prints or
    close-up photos of two materials next to each other??

   Yes, we will continue with uploading pictures to show what this looks
   like.

    What kind of multi-color 3d-format does the NexD1 accept?

   For multi-color we accept X3D and VRML97.

    What would be the workflow, say from a multi-colored FBX to a NexD1 print?

   Once you export X3D or VRML97, there is no more need to setup anything
   regarding to the colors, because these files contain all information about
   the color we need. There is also the option of the use of Multiple STL
   files with the same Zero point that match together. in this way you can
   select a color for each STL separately. This is also the way how multi
   material prints will work.

    Can we slice externally and send a file to the machine?

   Not for now, the slicer is running on-board because of the hardware
   floating point unit of our processor, in this way we achieve a really fast
   slicing time of only a few seconds, even for complex objects.

    Will the slicing and driver code be open source?

   Yes, they will be open source. Especially our Beta Testers will get
   earlier access to the source code. We know that we implemented some very
   powerful hardware and that it will be very important to let people tinker
   on the software themselves in order to release the full potential of our
   machine. We think the open source development of the Slicer and even the
   file handling are a great way to discover and add more functionality.

    Whats the build area?

   Its 20x20x20cm or 8x8x8 inches.

    How much will a replacement-head cost?

   and resin supply system. But since the NexD1 will perform a self cleaning
   process after any print, we anticipate to have a much higher printhead
   lifetime than a normal PolyJet® printer.

    At what wavelength do you do your polymerization?

   The wavelength is 405nm.

    What is the time per layer and the layer height?

   One average layer takes between 3 to 5 seconds and is dependent on the
   size, height and material. The layer height is adjustable between 10 to
   200 microns… we also have an experimental mode, which allows 5 microns of
   z-axis resolution.

    What are the increments of Z resolution?

   The increments are in 5 micron steps.

    What is the repeatability like?

   We are anticipating an objective repeatability of

    Is there any post cure required. If so, can heat be used instead of UV?

   There is no post cure time required, like on any PolyJet® based printer,
   the printed part can be used once you remove the support material.

    Do all colors print in one turn and are being cured at once?

   For one layer the printer will do two turns. The first turn is for the
   support material and second turn for all model materials.Only for
   conductive materials, there is a third turn because of the 2 components
   that are placed on top of each other. With one turn including printing and
   curing.

    How does the print quality compare in general to the Form1?

   We achieved a better print quality than Formlabs®, especially regarding
   mechanical parts like small holes. But also the surface finishing is much
   better, at the highest resolution we get a really high glossy finishing
   that can't be achieved with any other printer. Once we are back in
   Germany, we can print a few samples on the NexD1 as well as on the
   Formlabs® Form2® to get a comparison.
