Shipping Date List  

RE: Shipping Date List

I remember now.  I saw your posts.  I wish I had forethought to warn you not to rely on the shipping tables.  

It is this way nearly every time.  It varies in length.  The XL has been the longest I have seen, but my memory is not as good as it used to be.  I like their beta process, but I wish they could better build it into the process and timeline.    

I have owned many printers and have helped hundreds get their non-Prusa printers working.  I helped a local guy get his Bambu P1P working two weeks ago.  Prusa printers have a history of being the easiest open-source printers to build, set up, and get running.  That is changing as other companies catch up.  

You will be happy with your purchase when it arrives.  I know your patience is running thin.

None right now!

Sold my MK3S+ when the MK4 was ordered as I was offered a good price. So this is the first time I've placed an order for a new release with Prusa, and I wasn't expecting the wait to be so long! Hope the shipping schedule doesn't change like the upgrade schedule.....

How many Prusas do you own?

You all got in there before me!! lol

I didnt think there would be such a delay so I took my time with ordered. Had I of known I would have been in there quick! lol

 

 

RE: Shipping Date List

That's the thing - 90% of people will be happy when their printer arrives and the delay and waiting times will be forgotten! I know I probably fall into that bracket! lol

Ordered some heatblock socks (non-Prusa) just a few days ago hoping they would coincide with the delivery of the printer. The socks arrived today! So I have socks, but no printer yet. lol

RE: Shipping Date List

16813197xx and no Update. The Support told me: 21.06.2023: According to this table, your order should be shipped really soon, within 2 weeks. This 2 weeks ends tomorrow.

RE: Shipping Date List

I expected something like this; therefore, I kept my MK3S+. I will keep it until the MK4 can completely replace the MK3S+. I won't get the best price, but I can still print.

RE: Shipping Date List

They just updated the Shipping Information page, but no changes for the MK4 Kits, at least for the April 12th orders.

RE: Shipping Date List

2 days ago i got info that they still packing for those ppl who bought 13 april.

RE: Shipping Date List

3 Month of waiting...this is extrem long. And as an excuse you will get one PLA Filament for free. It would be better if you can choose between PETG ASA and PLA. It is pritty hard to wait so long. Maybe for the futur it will be better if it is possible to make a deposit of 20 or 40% off the full price.

RE: Shipping Date List

It's great that people are posting their order numbers, helps to see the bigger picture.
Here's mine, 16813191xx, in black, shipping to the UK. No update as of today.

I took my MK3S+ out of my custom enclosure last month expecting delivery by now. My custom enclosure puts all the electronics outside, so needs some mods on the printer. I'm glad I put the MK3S+ back together as a standalone printer, so at least I can still print. Plus even got my old MK2 out of storage to cover some things.

If it gets to the end of July and still no sign then I might revisit, but let's see.

Today I found out that on July 5th and 6th they don't work because it's a national holiday in the Czech Republic

RE: Shipping Date List

out of interest, how much do the bambus cost?
are they also a choice of kit or pre built?

RE: Shipping Date List

The Bambu Labs are only prebuilt, the cost is a little lower than a mk4, but honestly you pay for the quality, not to mention the noise it produces, impossible to keep in a studio, sold after a week 🙁

RE: Shipping Date List

They are all prebuilt.  No kits.  $599-1200, depending on the model.  They require the use of the cloud to print.  Reportedly that can be turned off, but I have never been able to get it to work (I guess you could print from the SD Card).  It is a closed-source printer, so you rely on them for parts.

Pros: to the Bambu: Relatively Cheap and prints quality prints,  fast.   Available now.  

Cons: Closed source, requires a cloud, and noisy

RE: Shipping Date List

Thanks CW, you sure know your stuff..
seems strange to me that they would restrict it to the cloud, if you lose your connection you're in a mess..
i am a noob to it all though, the mk4 will be my first, when it finally arrives.. 🙂

RE: Shipping Date List

I bought my Bambus to evalaute them to potentially replace my Mk3S and Minis for my little printer farm.  They meet some needs but not all.  I am a little untrusting to print some of my protected desings on them.  

This past weekend, I tested the Alpha input shaper on my MK4 vs. my Bambu labs P1P and A1C.  I am pretty happy with my purchase of the Mk4.  I can't say I am unhappy with the Bambus.  They are great printers, too.  I suspect that you can use them without the cloud.

RE:

Same thing here, I spoke to C.S on Monday and they said "worst case scenario" next week. I placed the order at 18:46 CET on April 12  under order 16813179XX.

i have my doubts about they acomplish all the until shipments the midnight.

RE: Elenco delle date di spedizione

Guys I think you need to have a little patience and trust, the prusa team I think is doing everything possible to deliver the kits and updates in the shortest possible time, the only thing they had to manage better was the payment, I have a good belief that We will be satisfied with the mk4 for several years

RE: Shipping Date List

Having paid in full and waited 3 months already, I think it is safe to safe we have demonstrated we have patience. 

Its just wearing thin now considering the lack of comms. I would have had more patience had I of only paid a deposit rather then Prusa holding FULL payment and then giving me a window for shipping, but still no guarantee it will even ship within that Window. On chat I have been informed that yesterday and today are public holidays there, so shipping may be delayed a little - I'm sorry, but surely these public holidays weren't sprung on you. Surely you'd have factored those in when initially creating the shipping schedule?

For a company the size of Prusa, their ordering system is lacking.

RE: Shipping Date List

Reflecting on the fact of full payment, this also happens when you buy a new vehicle and it is delivered to you after 6 months, you feel less of a burden because there is a loan, but in fact the product was paid to the company in full months before
