[ Closed ] Introducing Three New Solidoodle Models (Page 9 of 28)

Little surprised they haven't posted any new images of the new printers by now. Or any new functionally video's for that matter.

so delivery time of about march next year lol?

Trust me, after having received a Robo3D that was just barely functional and that I have about $900 in mods on (on a $600 printer), I'd rather they do everything right than ship a mostly complete product.  That said, if they were actually going to ship by the end of next week (6 weeks) I would have expected a few promo photos of actual products, an announcement of expected shipping start dates, teaser videos, etc.

So far, @Solijohn has answered some of our questions and kept us impatiently at bay but, at this point, I certainly don't expect to receive a shipping notice next Friday.

Op will surely deliver soon?

Order status on my Press has changed from in-production to processed...

well it's as close to news as we've got!

26075 shows "processed" as of August 5th, when I placed it.

26284 05/08 still in production :-(

26894 8/8 in-production as well.....

My guess is that they're too busy trying to get the first printers out the door to stop and provide information.  It's a common mistake amongst Kickstarter campaigns and 3D printer companies in general.  They never realize that taking an hour out to write an update of any sort can buy them days of peace. 

Right now, the attitude is "Hey guys, it's been six weeks, what's going on?"
In two weeks it will be "Guys, you *said* 6-8 weeks.  We really want our printers.  Hello, is anyone there?"
In four weeks we'll start to see accusations of scam, etc.

It happens the same way every time with companies like this.  This is where I hope SD comes to this forum, sees the uptick of questions and puts *something* out there so I can get back to work instead of refreshing their website all day.  My boss is getting kind of annoyed with me...

I'm not saying that Solidoodle is a scam or is scamming anyone. 

They've been in business for several years now.  What I was saying is that around the 10 week mark, people will start claiming that.  Likely, it will be the people who came to get the cheap SD Press without knowing anything about the history of SD as a company that will yell the loudest.

I was also an unfortunate casualty of the Makibox.  By the time they ran out of money, their printer was so far behind the times that I didn't care any more.

My post was a cautionary tale on the need for SD to get on top of the communication before their 8 weeks is up and nothing more.  I have 100% faith that SD will deliver the product.  It's just a matter of when and whether it avoids the shortcomings of previous generations.

I'm an August 5th person too, although I can't check my status as my wife ordered it for me as a present.

Anyway, Solidoodle would be smart to make sure the early August machines are in good shape given all the squeaky wheels on this forum that ordered those days

tell them to deduct it from your order since its still at their shop
