Newbee looking at different 3d systems...This forum is a VERY POOR statement about company, support and honesty when no one is getting straight answers on the status of deliveries. Why would it be any different for me?

I think SD is doing a pretty good job at bringing a very competitively priced printer to people who otherwise would not have even considered buying one as for the shipping status all you have to do is check the forums and it keeps you pretty well updated as to where things are.-->http://www.soliforum.com/topic/3/orders … t/page/23/ I run a manufacturing business and it is very hard and costly to to keep inventory on hand for unforeseen sales jumps due to popularity of certain items and then when you do order more you find that everyone else with bigger pockets than yourself just wiped out the suppliers you use SO now you have delays in getting inventory that stops your own assembly line and the next thing you hear is customers wondering where their printer is.... you mention honesty, I can only assume you are referring to the 6-8 weeks lead time?I am sure that they keep thinking they can meet those terms...and they are getting better with each week, but like most things in small manufacturing especially with JIT one little wrench in the works anywhere and the rest of the machine slows to a crawl, I also have direct experience with other 3d printer manufacturers and printers that are selling for more the twice a SD2 and are taking just as long to ship currently as SD and yet the other places list a 4-6 week lead time.... go figure???

Anyways just my .02 cents, Ron

It probably wouldn't, but what's the alternative?

Hopefully I am high up enough on the list to get early delivery since my SD2 was due to ship any day  before I chose to upgrade.  My original order was 2967, ordered July 23.  Sometimes long lead times can resuilt in fortuitous oportunity.

Ordered my 2 in late September. Reason I did the upgrade is I figure for 100 bucks I would only be extending my order by a few weeks. Now just crossing my fingers that I didn't screw up and extend my wait another four months.

"the upgrade"?  What upgrade?

People who havent gotten their printers yet can spend an extra $x to get the Solidoodle 3, which is the same as the Solidoodle 2, but 2 inches bigger in each axis.
