Got to love the Robo...I've been printing for about two months straight and have 7 printers going. My 3 Robo's are non stop work horses while the creality printers always require tinkering to keep getting reliable...but I got the Crealty MAX for its big bed size.

Looking forward to your progress.

94 percent complete print, they are looking great other than some minor stringing. Next is the big track print.

I would love to buy more robos, but they are either second hand or a couple hundred dollars more than the original price. So I have been watching the creality ender 3 pro for a while until it has really good feedback and I am to the point I really need more printers to get my ideas into physical form in a reasonable time frame.

Alright , I moved on to printing the round main track STL into four sections. Two on one printer and two on the other. It should be done mid day tommorow.  I did take advantage of a cyber Monday coupon and bought another Ender 3 Pro , so I have three of them on the way now! I’m pretty excited about that part, but one is a Christmas gift I gotta wrap up and stick under the tree for me to later unwrap.;)

The track print finished much quicker than I expected. Later tonight I will print the mock up dummy track just for aligning things, it is already in the shape it will be when in use.

the large circle was broken into four pieces then I put two pieces on each printer so they would finish overnight and I can move on to another print after work today.:)

I am printing a solid version of the tracks for mocking up the wheels and motors to the body, I don’t have the lower half of the body sliced up and keyed yet, so I am using  the idle time and left over filament.

These two halves will be glued together, cleaned up and painted black with rubberized spray. Agian just for a mock-up to decide if I like the form and look.

Hey, I am not sure about shipping and taxes...but while the Anycubic and Crealitys Ender are a very good option, it is also always worth it to check out the new Prusa Mini! Excelent hardware, for affordable pricing!! I never had any issue with my MK2, still a big fan!!:)

I am really loving this design. I like that in the sketches you added arms, because a robot should be able to do things, not just wander around and see things.

One suggestion, even though it will break up the clean lines, is that you add some female EZ-BIT slots around the edges and maybe a couple on top so that it can be expanded easily (or some other kind of standardized mount points - doesn't have to be EZ-Bit).
