Store to Open This Week!

Posted on March 5, 2012 by in Uncategorized

The waiting will soon be over – the store will open later this week.  We will be announcing details to the members of our email list FIRST AND FOREMOST, so sign up on the list (top right) now if you want to get a jump on it.

What can I buy?

We are opening the store with limited items – not everything we will eventually sell. Just the Basics.  In fact, we will not be selling the electronics or the hot ends individually for a while.  We will be solely focussed on all-in-one 3D printing KITS sold to individuals.  We are not ready to sell bulk orders just yet.  Large upgrades, like the Double-Wide and the Quad will launch roughly a month after we fill the kickstarter orders.  We need a little time to let the dust settle.

Our supplies are limited.  

We have stocked our shelves with lots of extra product and supplies in order to open our online store, but to be honest, we have NO IDEA what to expect in terms of the number of orders we will have.  We are so spoiled with the huge success of our Kickstarter campaign, but are ready to settle into realistic sales and production numbers. We only have a few hundred of some parts in stock, but others are not limited at all, so your experience may vary.

WHEN will your orders ship?

AFTER the Kickstarter rewards ship.  This means it could be April, or even later.  We are receiving our last items at the end of March – the stuff needed to ship all our backer rewards. The Kickstarter backers have been wonderfully patient with us, but we understand that the expectations around an online store are very different. IF A FEW WEEKS OF WAITING BOTHERS YOU, WAIT TO ORDER FROM THE NEW STORE.  We will clearly post our expected shipping dates.

So if I haven’t scared you away just yet, check back often – or just sign up for our email list.  We are almost there.

Thanks for hanging in there with us!

Happy printing,

Brook

    "We are receiving our last items at the end of March – the stuff needed to ship all our backer rewards." My hope is you will be receiving your hot ends and printrboards in 2 orders, so you can ship out the reprap and small printrbot orders first. . . I knew February was optomistic, but I was hoping before April. Also, will you be selling filament? I know a huge portion of the community that would love a little more American competition in the filament market right now. I'd love to order some extra filament and have it shipped out with my 'Bot!

    I backed for the printrbot lc. You are just waiting for motors, right? I think the printrboard, printed parts and laser cut parts should definitely be available alone, so that people sourcing parts can get those things or replace broken ones.For filament, (boy am I lucky(I think)) I recently found out that one of America's largest custom plastic extruders operates in the town next to mine! But I will only purchase from them if they agree to extrude bioplastics.

    Why is the printrbot+ kit an extra 150? That seems like kind of a load of BS IMHO.Takes what… 3 extra inches of rod in each direction, and an 8×8 build platform instead of 6×6… Really, that is 150 dollars? Really?

    Lasercut is more expensive, plus other alterations from what I’ve seen like 12mm rails, that would mean also 12mm bearings, all more expensive. On the store they have printed parts for $49 and standard LC for $99 so it’s probably not unreasonable.
