What will you do with 1600 euros


They replied but they said the fastest way for them  to send it to me is directly from the us rather than the uk .

It’s a matter of opinion.

It’s a matter of opinion. For me the plastic bits and bobs of a robot are relatively minor and hacking them out of plastic breadboards and scrap plywood is part of the fun. I’ve yet to need a piece that I can’t make, and my robots are constricted much more by their sensors, actuators and my programming than by their chassis design. That’s the practical point of view from where I am in robotics. However the appeal of robotically printing more robots is undeniable. If I really wanted 3D printer I would at least have a go at building one. With €1600 you can actually nearly get both servos and 3D printer, and get the phone free on contract :slight_smile:

Finally I ordered my makerbot Thing-0-Matic after 2-3 weeks of thinking .

It will propably be shipped in 1 or 2 weeks .

I have already read the assembling instructions and I understood that it needs precision on what you are doing as Geir has told me .

You mean the yellow one mentioned as an alternative in the instructions ?

Yes that’s the one
