Hey what's up, wow it's nice to see lots of people creating projects and interested in dispensing, I'm right in the middle of manufacturing the first batch of my own design, I thought it was a very niche market but it's encouraging to see even that Kickstarter product got funded, now I'm more confident mine will sell too.
Anyway some comments on the Fixer3D:
First of all, volume. As mike pointed out, it's very small. Maybe not a big deal when using solder pastes but with adhesives you can go through a syringe quite quickly. It's definitely intended for occasional use only.
Then about UV curing, I actually have quite a bit of experience on this field (that's part of what I do for a living) and the main problem I see is the intensity of the LED, I think this will greatly limit the kind of resins you can use and the total area.
When curing adhesives in two non-transparent "substrates" you need lots of light to cure all the way through. Having said that, since this is really just intended for repairs and maybe gluing some small parts I think it'll fine. Worst case scenario you'll have to let your parts out in the sun for a couple of minutes.
Another point, why do I need a computer for changing my dispensing parameters? any gain in usability from having it battery powered goes out the window when I have to mess around with the computer to fine tune the dispensing. I know it stores the settings in memory but it becomes a hurdle for the user when using it for the first time.
And finally, price. It's looks to be around 100-130$ which seems reasonable but when you consider that the sun can do the same job for free, and you can apply drops of resin directly from a normal syringe, the benefits to using this become smaller every time
My dispenser will be at the same price point but it's a far more flexible design, obviously it doesn't have a LED on the tip but actually I'm now interested to see if I can make a detachable add on for mine...
anyway, 0xdeadbeef thanks for the tip!
