    Robo should arrive today. Can someone confirm that they are now shipping with Metric lead screws and rods?

    Also is the Z axis ball bearing coupler still a required upgrade. Guess I will find out on that one today. Hoepfuly I am moving up in reliability from the CTC I am currently using.

    Welcome. Mike's got you on the rods. Seems like newer printers are shipping without a detente in the motor shaft. So, if it does turn out to be necessary for you, you'll need to do an adapter to hold a bearing or something like this: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:698670
