That's why the Tiko 3D was promising. It was elegant, easy to use, and cheap. The Tiko 3D printer housed all its components in a unibody. It worked similarly to a needle and thread, using three material strings to build the product. That's what 16, backers believed. But Tiko actually produced the printers once it reached the funding goal. It managed to ship around 4, units. It was then that problems began. Users complained of the printing and build quality. And the culprit was the unibody.
Yes, it was beautiful to look at. But to make it, the company resorted to custom electronics and components, which were unreliable and made it expensive. Plus, it wasn't like the Tiko was better at printing than the competition.
In fact, experts criticized them for not using cheaper components to accomplish the same goal. And then there's the price. They had lured buyers with cheap pricing, but sales weren't enough to make up for the expensive components.
There wasn't enough to even repay the backers. So, what did those thousands of pledgers do? They turned to Kickstarter. That's right. Many angry users created a Kickstarter campaign to raise money to start a lawsuit against Tiko, which hasn't gotten far. And, at least, there are 4, printers out there that work as doorstops.

But the research may serve as a reassurance to future backers.
