Cool!

Those cubiio engravers were launched via kickstarter last year, and are around £400 shipped direct from the manufacturers in Taiwan..

I've not seen that linked site before, but their price seems worryingly cheap.Too good to be true maybe?

Yes, going by the comments.

if you google them... they're fake

or they don;t do what they're supposed to do anyway... lazer not powerful enough for that :-(

Just as as a quick follow-up, I pinged the manufacturers an email yesterday, and they've replied to confirm that site from the first post is indeed a scam.

So whether or not their product is any good (I also have my doubts), whatever you'd get for your $99 won't be one!

That's pretty bad, especially as it's a Facebook 'Suggested For You' post!
