I am waiting for the solidoodle that has a self leveling bed 
Re: 02/28/2013 Solidoodle anounces first press conference
Something that I think would be achievable is a leveling script that can run and then tell you "Turn the front left thumbwheel 6 notches to the right". That would be close enough to self leveling for me.
Re: 02/28/2013 Solidoodle anounces first press conference
Do you find you go out of level often? Mine stays pretty good unless I mess with something.

I once smacked mine with a hammer and it was still level afterwords. Stubborn sticky print 
Re: 02/28/2013 Solidoodle anounces first press conference
I only have to relevel after messing with the hotend but that's to be expected I guess.

Re: 02/28/2013 Solidoodle anounces first press conference
So seeing as though this press conference is now over, does anyone know what it actually was?
Re: 02/28/2013 Solidoodle anounces first press conference
For some reason it's a secret still. I thought a press conference was supposed to be for giving out information.

Maybe it's something only the press would be interested in
Re: 02/28/2013 Solidoodle anounces first press conference
From Paul Posner on Solidoodle's Facebook page, who showed some of his work -
SoliDoodle announced partnerships with a Brazilian group and a Russian group, to open STORES in those countries, marking the first 3-D Printer-related retail outlets outside of the U.S.
Sam spoke about some steps they are taking to increase their production, now that they have gotten their product and manufacturing refined. He also talked about some strategic alliances with some school districts, colleges, and libraries that will have or currently do have SoliDoodles in use.
Coolest of all, he revealed that SoliDoodle is working with a group that is planning to use their 3-D printers on MARS! They are currently testing SD's in the harsh desert conditions that they are testing the other necessary components for a Mars mission. --Which is a great idea! why carry all these tools and gadgets when you can print the on-site?
They also announced a SoliForum gathering on 3/14, which I am looking forward to participating in as well.
I enjoyed the opportunity, as an avid SD'er, to share my experiences with their product and service, as well as thanking Sam and Co. for providing me a great tool with which I have been able to greatly advance the state of my project.
They're a great bunch indeed.

Thanks Ian,
Sounds great for those who live in the US, Brazil, Russia or Mars!
Re: 02/28/2013 Solidoodle anounces first press conference
Thanks Ian, I'm still confused why they would announce it to the press and not want us to know.
Re: 02/28/2013 Solidoodle anounces first press conference
Probably wanted to give the press a chance to post their own articles first.

Aherm. I can't announce things ahead of the PR department. This is why y'all weren't informed before hand. As for the "soliforum" announcement. That was made by our PR guys. They didn't realize that the name had been used already... but of course people will be able to come out ^_^

Just because the Hyperbole setting on the PR machine goes up to 11, doesn't mean you should use it. They should dial it back to at least a 7. Something like "Enthusiastic 3D printing startup hopes to change the world by making 3d Printers accessible to everyone, takes significant step toward that goal with international distribution" rather than "The most significant force in home 3D printing makes the historic transformation into global 3D printing superpower! All your build platforms are belong to us!"
