    Hiya from the UK to any fellow UK Robo people!

    Although I must state mine is yet to arrive.... :rolleyes: Soon! real soon!

    I wanted to let you know I have a boatload of PLA and ABS which I have bought for my machine but if anyone wants some and can collect I will share the 'love' (i.e. cheap).

    Also, Would be great to contact fellow 3D printer folk to share any problems etc :)

    Cheers

    Simon.

    Hi Simon. I am in Suffolk and still waiting for my ABS assembled printer.

    I am away for 4 weeks from tomorrow so I am hoping it is here when I return.

    Hey Sye, did you order yours on the website? Let me know and I may be able to get you a updated date. Right now it is about an 8-12 week wait time.

    I think 8-12 weeks is unlikely seeing as we are still waiting for April orders to be shipped.

    Only about 1/3rd of kickstarters have shipped, if I read it right, and when the 500 from China are going to be received, QA'd and shipped is anyones guess. The post kickstarters don't even start till then and I have no idea how many of those there are in the queue.

    Maybe an up-dated date for the kickstarters would be nice Harry.

    Is the Firmware used in the Robo printer available to download?

    Hey Sye, I have not gotten any more news. The RoBo Firmware is available for download on the forum in the Documentation section I believe it is.

    I would say around 8 weeks still, but that is my own guess. I'll get you a better guess tomorrow when I speak with the team.

    :oops: 'Another' 8 weeks?? That does seem rather ridiculous... 20 weeks from order! and you are not sure about it either?
    Can you tell me to whom I should email about recieving a refund?

    Been waiting over 33 weeks and still not here. 20 weeks would seem like a dream to me.

    They seem to still be shipping fully assembled ABS from March tier so mine will probably a little while yet, I am an April backer.

    Some time in the next three weeks would be good for me as I am away at the moment, it would be nice to see it arrived already when I get home.

    :( I think if payment was made on the date of desptach I would have more sympathy for the Robo people, BUT, having taken monies (Website sale NOT kickstarter, as one could argue as a backer you do realise a wait is inevitable) and given a 8-12 week delivery period, to add another 8 weeks is mind blowing.

    I have requested a refund, lets see what happens.... I can see me having to take it up with the card company :confused:

    Your patience David is admirable. Since mine was a June purchase and is supposed to be another 8 weeks then I guess yours is due anytime now! :D

    It does seem strange giving an 8-12 week delivery period back in June. I think it was becoming obvious to backers that they may have delivered all the Kickstarts by end of September let alone all the web orders.

    Hey Sye, I'm not directly apart of the RoBo team. So that is just my guess. But Let me find out for you right now and see if I can get you any more accurate info.

    Anyone in the UK got an ABS, fully assembled yet. I am just wondering about the delivery time from USA and the import duties etc that had to be paid.

    Just want to be ready when it arrives.

    Hi David
    I am from the UK but i had my printer delivered to Dubai where i work. I was supposed to get it in May, i only just got it but i believe it was only posted a couple of weeks back , no duty had to be paid but that could be different in the UK.

    Before you use it check the temperature does not switch off after about 5 minutes, it has on me several times now and blocked up the nozzle several times which is a nightmare, lucky enough after 15 minutes i managed to free it up but now i can't use it until i stop the heater from switching off.


    Regards
    John
