    Im getting very close to order my printer but I stumbled upon a video from a few weeks ago with an intiver with ROBO 3D and they said there is a new printer coming out that has a price point of 799? I could barely see the printer because the camera was zoomed in to much but it didn't look like dual extruders,does any one know what this printer has? I may just wait to get that one then. Thanks for any help.

    I saw this video just a few minutes ago, but couldn't stand the girl filming it. I'm in the same spot as you, so hopefully we can get more information on this soon.

    I just emailed Jerry to see if he can shed some light on this. I mean they had it out in the wild so I wouldn't think there keeping it under wraps. I just don't want to spend 700 dollars and a few days later I could of spend an extra 100 and got a brand new version of the printer.

    I believe that one has the upgraded bed, but I could be wrong. Looks like an iteration rather than a whole new model. Likely has a few tweaks over the existing model, but we will have to wait and see.

    Looks like the same as mine. Just got it. So anyone ordering one will get a working Robo 3D printer. You have to learn what it takes to do 3D printing successfully. Learning curve with any printer.

    The main difference is the bed. It has a bed that snaps on with magnets and a solid printed bar across the front and back. From what I have heard from the Robo guys that is what makes the $100 difference I guess.

    Also a better filament loading clamp.

    Does anyone know if the new version of the bed will be sold on its own as an upgrade part? I think it would be a good idea for the Rob 3D online store to have a section for upgraded parts as they become available.
