I’m thinking to buy the Mini+, but should I wait for Black Friday  

Previous Black Fridays

Take a look at the kinds of discounts there were on previous Black Fridays, that should help you make a decision:

Thank you

That looks good. I was hopping to have discount on the machine, but the free shipping itself is worth $70 for me. I think I will wait for a month to see.

My first post here. I ordered a Mini last night, not even thinking of Black Friday. The good news is I am ahead of the BF wave. The bad news is I paid for shipping. It is what it is and I love reading thru all the posts here.

Cheers,

Dave

...I ordered a Mini last night...

Congrats for your purchase! Yes, sometimes we just don't have the patience to wait 🤩 .
The only advice: be patient when assembling your new Mini -it's not a race.

Looking forward...

Congrats on your purchase. Looking forward to hearing about your adventures with the Mini+

I looked around a bit before placing my order last month. I saw no reason to wait, so now my order week shipping window is open and I'm obsessively checking email for a ship notification. This has to be the worst part of the wait.

Man

you all really made me want to pull the trigger now

Now the waiting

Just got a notification from FedEx, so mine is beginning its journey here. That's actually almost spot on their estimate on the website and I added 1kg of filament and the runout sensor. This is going to be as bad as lurking on vesseltracker for Kickstarter pledges...

I am so impressed with my new machine. Here are my first two flawless prints:

Looks good! I should be pushing plastic soon too. I just have the extruder, hotend, and bed left to assemble.

We must be brothers of another mother -:)

First time here; purchased mine a week after you did. Also on the "watch"; but I wasn't to tied-up about the shipping. Even though it is some good money, if I waited 'till BF I was assured not to see the printer until after the new year.

And the beauty just came today in the awesome carriage, also known as the FedEx truck

I would wait.

Yeah, all black. There are certain compromises one has to make in order to get toys into the house. 😀

I see you became happy owner of new Mini+... Congrats again. And black Mini is not a compromise, it's a selective choice! I purchased it in black, because in my eyes it just looks better 😎 .

And black Mini is not a compromise, it's a selective choice!

I love that. Black certainly looks pretty sharp.

I have one in all black. It looks great under the LED lighting in my Lack enclosure.
