14+ months with Robo R1 still going strong

So after 14 months with my ROBO I'm happy to report it is now (and has been for nearly a year) a click and print device.

Being an early run printer (just after kickstarter) I did have to get the updated heat bed wire harness due to a problem with the early wire harness (Robo notified me and it was 100% free), and one of my z-rod couplers came loose (fixed that in 10 minutes). These early production run issues aside, the printer preforms very well for an amazing price. Took me a few weeks to get the hang of what worked for me as far as z-axis offsets, temperatures, movement speed etc; All that has been left alone for the past year and I just load up gcode and print now.

The only mods I've done are:

--The stabilizer at the top of the z guide rods (now standard) that I printed with the printer.

--Led Lighting along the top to better see the prints

--Aluminum bed (Which I made while waiting for the fixed heat bed to be sent back at no charge.)

Since I needed to send in my old bed to get the heated bed wiring fixed, and didn't want to go a few weeks without being able to 3d print so I had a piece of aluminum cut to size and used that as an unheated bed while I waited. There was a shipping issue with my replacement bed (DHL apparently stepped on it) so I put a heating element on the aluminum bed and was having such good luck with my prints that I never reinstalled the glass bed (which works fine, but since the aluminum is working, why change it.)

I even print out party favors for my wife's even planning business with my Robo. The print quality is very good, and the reliability has been awesome.
