Great entry level 3D Printer
I absolutely LOVE this 3D printer. I purchased it for $799. The first printer I had did not work correctly. I had issues with it printing in the air and not holding the extruder temperature. I called technical support and was greeted by a very professional technician. He sent me videos on how to address these issues and talked me through it over the phone. He even offered to do it over skype so he could see what I was doing. After about 1 hour it was determined that this could not be fixed and some of the parts needed to be replaced. The technician offered to mail out replacement parts at no cost or recommended I return it for another one. He said there were a few that were manufactured that had these problems but noted that it had been addressed. I returned it for a second printer. Keep in mind these are extremely complex machines. I unpacked the second printer and plugged it in. I set up and connected it to my computer using the provided software (MatterControl). I printed the calibration ring without any issues. It did the auto-level and multi-point adjustment flawlessly. I then proceeded to print an ATST from Star Wars which I had been working on. 14 hours later and the top part of the project was complete. It was printed on a medium quality setting and the details are phenomenal. I would like to address some of the comments I have read from other users who have given this product a low rating. 1) Software: Many complained it was horrible and basic. It works great. They have settings for every experience level. You select Beginner, standard, or expert. It allows you to change just about anything you could desire. It has preset quality and material setting for many of the filament types it is capable of printing. It gives the option to print support material and rafts. Under expert you can adjust layers, surface, infill, speed, support, output options, and multiple extruders (even though this model comes with a single extruder). It has a control section that allows you to custom set the extruder and bed temperature. You are able to move the extruder along any axis with ease using the movement buttons. You can adjust fan speed and set macros. It also gives you the choice of using several different slicing programs when generating the print. You can design the product in whatever CAD software you want and import it into MatterControl. 2) Noise: It is moderately loud. I have tried several other 3D printers and this is pretty on par with the noise from others. 3) Customer service: The customer service is outstanding. Look at some of the other 3D printers on Amazon. You don't see their customer service responding to low ratings. Now look at the low ratings on this printer. The majority of them are commented on offering to help/replace parts. I spoke with them several times on the phone and they were always polite and helpful. 4) Forum support. They have a very active forum with many users willing to help you through problems. There are videos for just about everything imaginable. Overall, if you are looking for a great entry level 3D printer under $1000 this is the one. I have tried some of the DIY kits and they don't even come close to this. The quality is outstanding and it has many nice features some of the cheaper printers do not. I would never buy a printer without the auto-leveling feature. It saves so much time! It looks professional and does what it is designed to do. Before buying any 3D printer, go in with appropriate expectations. Don't expect it to be a problem free process. These are very advanced machines. Part of 3D printing is solving problems. These machines are still relatively new and will continue get better with time. Don't expect any 3D printer to be equivalent to a regular printer where you just hit print and walk away. I think most people who end up disappointed go in with the wrong expectations.

NOT TOTALLY PLUG AND PLAY BUT STILL AMAZING
After receiving my robo r1 plus form Best Buy I unboxed and was instantly a little upset there was the x axis belt laying on the bed not attached. Well after a little research an a ton of common sense and 1 phone call to Robo's amazing 24/7 support I was able to get the printer going. First prints were spot on minus a few little issues and a learning curve, but after a little tweaking some settings and controls my prints were amazing! I will say this is not plug and play and print. But come on folks you are not buying a Hp laser printer here this is newer technology and you have to at least have some mechanical and tech knowledge to be able to use this printer to its full potential! So far 10 hours of printing and only a few issues that were quickly resolved by sitting back and using the ol' brain and internet resources. 100% love this printer and is the best printer on the market with the best support both company and community forum under $2k!!!! And a bonus is the factory software is top notch and super easy to navigate with easy workflow!

Have Realistic Expectations
I am now on my third unit and I will try my best to explain what happened. The first unit must have been a return because packaging was missing. I called ROBO's support number and they sent me pages of disassembly instructions to fix it. I returned it and brought unit number 2. Unit 2 had all the packaging in place and after performing the setup and calibration it worked well for a week. I started having issues with the fans making noise, the prints jamming in the middle of the bed. I contacted ROBO by e-mail and it took them 4 days to respond. But, once they did respond they offered to replace the bed and fans. I was still within my return timeframe so I did not want to bother taking the machine apart as it was new. Now to unit number 3. I have been using this unit without any major issues. I did notice all 3 had slight differences in designs especially the distance from the bed to the carriage. Now to the important part, how does it perform? PROS: 1) 3D printers are not like your inkjet it requires time and knowledge of what you are doing to make great prints especially if you want to use materials besides PLA. This is capable of prints that rival machines I payed over 3k for just a year ago! 2) The software is adequate for 90% of people out there and I found it easy to use and it produced nice prints with little input from me. Personally I use Simplify3D. 3) A HUGE plus is the hot end is capable of printing everything from PLA to PETG and I've even printed NinjaFlex. I don't know of any machine in this price range with an extruder and hot end that works this well. 4) 24/7 Phone support and a great warranty. They truly stand behind their product and are very willing to help. 5) The heated bed size is unparalleled in this price range. You can make very large prints on this machine. 6) Being an open platform design there are many many upgrades available for this machine from LCD controllers to octoprint the sky is the limit! Cons: 1) Reliability is questionable to me after all my issues. 2) The nozzles are not for sale! You have to call and beg to purchase one for $5. All aftermarket nozzles I tried did not print nearly as well. 3) It is a slow machine. 40mm/s is the max speed many print much faster. Overall: I have owned several machines and they all have their own quirks but that's all 3D printers. If you persevere and are willing to learn and tinker a bit this is a great machine at this price point. Despite having the issues I had I would absolutely recommend this.
