    Any word on the new shipments of lead screws? I'm anxious to upgrade especially after seeing Mike Kelly's prints. Site said today but no word so far

    I don't think they'll make that deadline. The shipment is in LA but it might not be dropped off at RoboHQ till tomorrow. So maybe by thursday they'll be able to start shipping.

    Lead screws shipping tomorrow! (Friday).

    If you already purchased lead screws and received bent lead screws (from that first batch) please message me ASAP so we can get you replacements sent. Even if you've already talked to me please do this again. Thanks

    My lead screws I got from the first preorder and install batch you sent out are bent, but they are the least of my worries right now as it appears that my Arduino has crapped out (robo powers on but the LCD controller itself stays off and direct USB to PC connection doesn't work either after months of being able to use either method--had my robo since April of this year).

    Well I got mine today about noon and the notice that it shipped hit my in box about 20 minutes AFTER FedEx dropped it off, so a little late on the email guys. now I just need to install it, as well as install the full graphics display I also picked up.

    No email for me, but I have a package coming to me from San Diego according to the FedEx shipping notification text message I got Friday.

    2lb. Box that will be here 9/11.

    ok, I updated the firmware on the printer to the updated leadscrew version, and the X axis is reversed on the printer, and it now prints about an inch off center, I am about to go back to the old firmware I had but I will need to change the steps for the Z and call it a day, kinda weird. cause homing the X sticks the bed out the front now, where there is no end stop, and it just keeps bouncing off the extent that it can go.

    Judd, did you mean homing the Y? If the X home is moving the bed, then something is not wired correctly.
