I recently got into Arduino and was hoping to get into 3D Printing, and I've been looking at the Materia 101 since both of those are relevant. However, the store site is rather..... odd.
It says "THIS IS PREORDER TYPE PRODUCT WITH 30 DAYS DELIVERY TIME". Also, when I look around at Radioshack/Best Buy/Ebay, they don't list any Materia 101 anywhere; you would have thought SOMEONE would be trying to sell them.....
I just suppose I'm kind of confused/concerned since I can't find reviews on it anywhere (I can find the specs/"Arduino joins the 3D printer race" on multiple sites, but never anything else.....) and ~$800 is kinda a lot of money.
Since Arduino decided to remove their ordering site, I guess that we may become an orphan unless others take up the baton. You may want to peruse the site https://www.3dhubs.com/best-3d-printer-guide and look at the at the listings and price. You will find that a comparable printer appears to be in the 1200 dollar range about 1080 euros. I wonder if the assembled printer plan has fallen through.
For reasons independent of our will, Arduino Materia 101 is now not available in the store. Thanks for your patience, we'll update you when it's back online!
