SL1 Shipping  

RE: SL1 Shipping

I think the answer is 'nobody'.  Some of the early purchasers may have been offered beta testing, in which case they may have had them for a while.  For the rest, the last indication is the May 1st mail apologizing for delay, pitching in some more resin,  and talking "shipping starting the week of May 13th".  I'll take the silence here as an indication that they've slipped that a bit.  

RE: SL1 Shipping

A few members on the SL1 FB Group have received shipping notifications over the last few days for their SL1 Pre-built orders.  Kits aren't shipping until sometime in June.

RE: SL1 Shipping

I saw notification of delivery yesterday. The owner was very excited...

RE: SL1 Shipping

Joan's probably talking about me. Day1 order also. Got mine last Friday. I was so happy. I comes well packaged. The screen is awesome. Built-in wifi too. No firmware updates yet. Got two additional larges bottles of resin also for waiting 8 months. Seems well built and looks very polished.

But having some hardware issues that I hope are my fault, tech support offered some suggestions I'll try tonight. No resin prints yet.

RE: SL1 Shipping

Prusa should keep the hype up with more info and more cool prints to show off the capabilities of of the machine.

There has been a lack of significant updates lately. 

RE: SL1 Shipping

Does anyone from you guys know smtg about shipping time from SL1? I planed a lot of projects with people with the printer and ordered at first a kit in november 2018 (believing that i would get the printer sooner...) but after the email of the 1st of may telling that the kit is oging to take more time to be shipped as pre assembled, I changed my order to pre assembled.. but now its the 23th of may 2019, it looks like they started to ship but I have no clue when I'm going to get my printer...
I ordered at the end of november 2018, could someone tell me when i'm supposed to get it ????

It would be really really nice so that i can plan my stuff ....

Thanks a lot!

Apparently they are shipping now in very limited numbers due to QC issues.  It looks like they are not sending out in large numbers until they have a solid workflow + QC for the assembled units.  My Oct order does not have a ship date yet; it looks like only the day 1 people are getting theirs now.  The shipping tables updated yesterday, but nothing regarding the SL1 has changed so there is no specific ETA.  Today is my birthday; I was hoping to have it for my birthday weekend. >.<

RE: SL1 Shipping

Oh! Happy birthday then !!! 🙂

Well, I'm checking also every single day on all their medias (twiter, fcbk, shipping table,  instagram...) since december to see if there is a update or smtg about this story but it lookd like they do not properly communicate between marketing and developpment. It's really hard to get any information about a product that we actually already paid... I mean I can understand that someting not planed can happen (I'm engineer and developping such kind of product..) but at least it would be nice to communicate to client to tell them whats going on.

It's really frustrating and I feel like being kidded. I mean instead of developping other stuff in parallel they could try to satisfy their client who already paid their product.

At least tell whats going on. Even the people on the chat do not know what to say ....

Frustating...

RE: SL1 Shipping

Thanks. 🙂

The screen issues in beta testing were where the first big unexpected delay was.  That seems to have required a lot of work to fix.  It is the kind of issue where some other companies would have released as-is and just say it is a 'known issue' but Prusa takes the time to do it right.  More regular feedback on delays would be nice though.    That is my real source of frustration as I check the forums, facebook, youtube, etc. daily.  Maybe they will make my birthday wish come true and give us a new update. 😉
