Hey Robot-doc,

Those are some great shots of the printer! how do you like it so far now that you can test it out? I was wondering if I can use some of your photos on my flashforge page,

@Jcandor, you're welcome to use the images posted here on the forum. I'm in the middle of designing a Roomba 500, 600, and 700 external battery charger case and just got the first piece that holds the two charging contacts extruded. So far very happy with the print results.

ROBOT-DOC THE 3D PRINTER looks great what size is the base ,and where is CHILE where you said you got it from,i might buy one.

#12  

OH the country CHILE i forgot about that one. 7 days by fedex not bad ,how much was the shipping cost it looks like a good deal,only hope it last longer then the makerbot

#13  

The 3D printer was ordered from ebay and the unit ships from China and shipping is free. the price just went up from 1,150 to 1,199.

China made junk,i hope it will last long time,i will wait a few months before i order one to sell how yours do,and if your works well then i will get one. JUST dont want it to be like makerbot design,if something goes goes bad do you need to ship it back to CHINA and how is the .

BUYING one cheap is not the problem just need to make shore it lasts and the support is good

#15  

Go to ebay, check out the 3d printers offered, go the the different vendors websites and usergroup forums for info about the units and support.

OK will check it out,i know there is a 3 part write up on 3D printers in servo magazine on all types of printers. I haven't read the issues yet and that one may be listed.

ON that design will have to look into it and see how long it lasts and if it breaks down like in a month or a year i dont want to ship it back to CHINA ,IT MIGHT LAST 4 YEARS

But i just need to be shore for that much money $1200 and then high shipping cost ,if a $500 to $750 breaks down and bought in the usa its not much to send it back for repairs.

JUST a few opinions i have on it.
