    If I were you I would just buy them on your own. You can get a pair with shipping for around $100

    "They should be arriving any day now"

    Though unless Brian is handling this it won't happen for at least 2 weeks.

    Things are still in motion, just taking longer than I'd like for sure.

    I just bought a 2nd Robo off ebay and it has the 8mm rods. Took me a few failed prints to finally figure that out.

    Can't wait to swap that one over to lead screws like my other Robo. Major improvement in print quality.

    Keep us posted if you have any updates.

    Hey guys, as Mike posted the other day we are still awaiting the arrival of the shipment. By the start of next week I'd expect they will be here. We just got confirmation that they are now on the way via Air Mail. As soon as they arrive I'll have an update for you guys as to purchasing the upgrade kit.

    We have a limited edition of lead screws available. Please contact me if you want them (Send me a message here on the forums) and I will send you the link to purchase these. We have a large shipment of them arriving shortly and will then offer it as a product on the site.

    Two lead screws (the leadscrews are obviously built into the motors). Two hex nuts- already on and fitted for the lead screws. And new Z axis endstop brackets that clamp onto the x axis carriage to stop them from separating. I believe that is all but I may be forgetting something.

    Definately interested in getting in on the first batch. Maybe you meant a private message?
