Just wonder if anyone has ordered one of these things yet!
Looks like it will work for ABS and PLA at the start and there is a lot of things that can be changed in the computer.
My question "is it any good and would you buy one?"

I wonder how much moisture would end up in the filament. I didn't see any drying mechanism in the video. Maybe you need to run this in a humidity controlled room?

I think things like this are gimmicks.
I always tune out as soon as someone says "the problem with 3d printing is the price of the filament!"
No. It's not. The problem with 3d printing is not the cost of the filament, it's the quality of the filament... this will not help.

Everything I've read says the contaminants and deterioration that occur with every time thorough the machine are serious impediments to the closed-cycle concept.
