One last question about availability.......

[Jules]

I was wanting to order the assembled M2 directly from MakerGear so that they could avoid the hefty Amazon fees, but i might have delayed a day too long trying to decide which spare parts to pick up with the printer....now the assembled M2 is grayed out in the selection area on the MakerGear site.

Are they normally pretty quick with getting them restocked? If it's only a week or two, I'll wait and order directly from them, but if it's going to be another 3 months due to demand I'll go grab one quick from Amazon.

Jeesh!

[jimc]

none of us will really have the answers for you. best thing to do is send an email to makergear asking about current stock situation.

[Jules]

Okay, thanks jim. (Thought maybe they kept an eye on the forum.)

[jimc]

yeah they do here and there. you'll get a faster response though just emailing direct

[Jules]

Just shot them a note....I could assemble it from the kit I suppose, but I'll likely strip every screw in the process. (I do not have a delicate hand with a screwdriver.)

Good Lord! I got a reply from Rick before I could even finish typing this up! This is definitely the company to do business with! (That's got to be some kind of world record.)

[jimc]

haha see!

[Jules]

You wasn't kiddin'!

[Jules]

Whoop! Just pulled the trigger!

Time to go...(in the Hollywood version of the Texas vernacular)...."larn me some 3D modeling software".

Jules,

Two thoughts come to mind:

1. Welcome to the fun!!!
2. A man's got to know his limitations.

I'll only take credit for the first. (And you will love your M2. Plus, there are lots of little accessories for it up on Thingiverse to make it even better.)

Thanks!
