I would wait for the price to be known and also to see what the Kickstarter actually covers. He seems to already have a functional prototype in the teaser video, so I suppose it is for sourcing and manufacturing of the electronics and technically, even if it fails, you should be able to DYI build this provided he makes the STL's and PCB design and schema public. I actually think this has a non-0 chance of survival we're just frankly better than 99.9999% of the rest of the whole Kickstarter. 

 Yeah the DIY by 3D printer thing here is interesting and I have not seen many with this approach. Let's see!
