New York based BotObjects unveiled its ProDesk3D 3D printer almost a year ago, in April 2013. Since its launch people have raised suspicions about botObjects' printer and its full color printing ability. The details on the printer are so scarce that people started to ask question:"Is the ProDesk3D real?" The company started taking paid pre-orders in May, but couldn't deliver the printer as planned shipment date of October. Since then skepticism of the printer and company has only increased.
According to the company, the ProDesk3D prints in full color, at a 25 micron resolution. It uses a 5 color PLA re-usable cartridge system and has a print speed of 175mm/s. The cartridges feed plastic up through printer heads at the top of the machine, and a small mixer melds the plastics as the printer changes color. According to an earlier report from TechCrunch, "The “secret sauce” is in this small mixer and in the 13 motors that pull the plastic from the cartridges. The company has a unique bit of software that allows you to add various gradients to objects and they are currently working on a way to add color data to standard STL object files."
Up to now, info about this printer is not yet full revealed. But German 3D printer shop igo3d uploaded a video today showing botObjects "ProDesk3D" 3D Printer in action. At least, it shows ProDesk3D is a working product.

Regarding the grand scam. The information is presented for public lighting. Certify the facts: Martin Warner Mice Duma - the subjects of Great Britain, fathers grand embezzlement scam unsuspecting depositors (hereinafter - Fun). Support scam: IT-communications, special sites, custom publishing, promotional fairs, false business structure. Scam exploits yet mythical idea of a full-color 3D-printing, this holy grail of this area, the reality of which has not been proved. Issuing a mythical idea of reality, these "miracle invented» (Martin Warner Mice Duma, in fact - trivial speculators) are not averse to issue ad unit (promotional product (ProDesk3D), hereinafter - "Miracle") for a full-color, serial product. They do not even oppresses the format «.Stl» has no color depth, and "Miracle" is not able to recreate the color of each pixel in 3D-space. That is, the "Miracle" obviously can not apply a texture to the 3D-objects. Fun issued impotent for completeness! Fun with cunning and insidious. Present themselves as respectable, intelligent, progressive, law-abiding citizens. Like, they lead humanity to a technological breakthrough, a kind of a brighter future. Like, only they know and how this is possible, and have already done a mini future in the real world. Even threaten to turn London into a global technology center (of course, with taxpayers' money). Present themselves as philanthropists (of course, at the expense of unsuspecting citizens). The bottom line is this: stolen and shared. Concocted special sites (mikeduma.com, martinwarner.com). These sites - a means of nurturing the citizens trust to fraudsters and means of self-glorification. Speculators go into high offices, muddy head statesmen. Suspect: they want to "cling" to the taxpayers' money under another gloss idea, a kind of hornblende. Then - get funding under this "future", but to live comfortably. The idea is to be a long, promising. Such that it was possible to forget about the financing. Look into the eyes of speculators. Is cunning, deceitful eyes may belong creative body? And I do not need them to build, wearing a grin trained instead of open smile. Limits of acceptable public lie repeatedly exceeded. Gentleman here does not smell. Plus not to their regalia are: the great forgers, sophisticated scam, fallen gentlemen ... Fun! Give the people what they stole.

This video shows me nothing. It is printing in one color as many printers can do. It doesn't then suddenly go to another color. I email the company, no response. Smell something bad here.

that can be easily fixed by implementing multiple wipe pillars like kisslicer.

One big problem, it seems it can not change color in the same layer!! How could be like that？ What kind of things in the world, only change color layer by layer. hahaha
