Purchased my zortrax M200 from 3dproshare today, it will be shipped out mid next week and hopefully arrive shortly thereafter! I will keep you all updated as things progress...
woohoo! Congratulations. I'm sure you will be very impressed once it arrives. The thing is built very well.
very impressed… Like ne!! 😉😉
Bought my "Test" M200 from 3DProShare as well (it arrived 4 days ago and has been printing round-the-clock since). Thomas has been an absolute pleasure to deal with…… real customer service is so rare these days.
I'm putting the M200 through it's paces as I want to sell my five MakerBot Replicator 2s and move up. I really need the temp resistance of Z-ABS over PLA (at a similar price point). M200 has been impressing at every turn so far. Did stumble a bit after an 18 hour stress test but was able to research here and figure out it was the X Axis grub gear screw (gear actually fell off when I removed the motor) was also surprised to learn the hex key provided was metric (1.5) and the screw required a Standard 1/16". Regardless, I was able to fix it and be up and running again in 10 minutes. So important in a production environment!!
Z-Suite does the majority of what we need (I formally used Simplify3D with the Replicator 2s) and I have high hopes for it's continued development and maturation.
How's the M200 working for you abeship?
I'm so impressed that I've given Thomas at 3DProShare a verbal on a second M200 when he receives his shipment next week.

David,
Glad to hear you had a good experience with thomas! I have as well, my only complaint is that we received V2 printers, rather than V3 that are made/shipped today (looks like yours is V2 as well from the screw diameter).
I really don't think there is a difference between the two, I just don't like how it is acme vs. ball, and there is a floating end of the screw (less secure)
Thomas was a pleasure, and I hope to purchase another M200 from him when I get the cash, and will order all filament through him as well.
Looks great!! Glad to see someone else in Colorado on here!!
