My SD2 had it's upsets out of the box, but ran fairly well overall after that.  When I built my Ord Bot, that was the real learning experience.  Had I not done that and not had all of the incredible help from this Forum I would in fact be none the wiser...very glad the way it's all working out...and I'm still learning!!

And, yes, the SD2 is now just a backup machine...

You guys are clutch and crucial. They do provide a printer base to work off. I just would like to see them do a better job is all

I have my complaints with SD as many do, but the upside is that it can be easily modified/maintained compared to other printers, which is perfect for aspiring makers.
And +1,000 to the forum comment. MB closed their forums, reddit can be a pain to navigate, and no other site is filled with as much knowledge, inspiration, and "community vibe" rolled into one as SF. Which was another selling point for my first printer (SD)

I may actually just build my own from now on since I'm doing the frames anyway. I'll just take their design and out engineer the (which isn't hard to do). There's nothing solid about a solidookie. Everyone of their printers just use linear motion bearings, e3d hotends, higher grade of steel rods, aluminum bed holders, well nuts on the z axis and a few more fans. But they always take the cheap way out.

Guess I'm just kinda fed up with them actin like amateurs

No. Unfortunately this would fall under the category of a "pipe dream". I started modding my SD2 a few months before the SD4 was announced, and saw they did not implement any upgrades/tweaks our community have clamored for. They then went even further from my personal hopes with the 3 new models (though dual extrusion is a nice surprise).

Im kinda peeved with solidoodle making cheap junk currently, but Im wondering around what time of the year they announce their next models. I'm just wanting to keep up to see if they learn from their mistakes or continue to make them.
