Hi Folks,

I want give a brief update. I found out that new A1 Mini batch slightly differs from the Minis produced previously. The heat-bed is slightly shifted in the Y axis (appr. 2mm) and the magnetic force of the heat-bed has become stronger. The differences are not dramatic but for the automation system it causes malfunctions anyway. I can solve it in two ways:

  1. In software (which is fast and easy) by adjusting an offset value for instance. But this will mean user will probably need preparing printing files for each machine (generation) separately which can end up in a huge mess.

  2. I can redesign some parts to make it adjustable. This is one extra step which needs to be done only once at the very beginning during the installation of the add-on.

So for obvious reasons I decided to go second way, which means another few weeks before going to beta tests. This is a throwback, but manageable.

Thank you. of course, I have sent the message.
However, I have not received any updates yet… haha

I’m sorry, but I have absolutely no insights into A1 project and how it’s running. But if you wrote an email than you will be surely on the list and get notification once it’s launched.

Hi, do you have something like a mailing list for when you launch? Can send you via DM, probably forget to check so would like a notification when you launch on kickstarter.

119

Hi, sure drop your email via DM. I don’t have a mailing list, but I will notify you. :+1: Discord will probably come soon.
