Hi everyone,
With the success of the MakerSlide Europe project
http://www.ulule.com/makerslide, we opened an on-line store
http://www.makerslideeurope.com our debut product, the eShapeOko, has taken off surprisingly well and already sold out of pre-orders. With its success, we plan to also introduce the ORD Bot eHadron.
The eHadron would be built with MakerSlide and accessories from the Ulule project; it will be a standard build with polished aluminium plates.
It would be available in 3 different configurations;
1st - A simple kit with just the custom plates, MakerSlide, v-wheels, idlers, eccentrics and nut blocks £85
2nd - A complete mechanical kit, without anything electrical (no steppers) £160
3rd - A complete mechanical kit, with steppers and limit switches (still needs; extruder, controller and wire to function) £240
The whole lot is aimed at the European market, as there is currently no affordable way to get a decent 3d printer across here. However, international postage could be possible.
I have spoken to Bart about my plans and he would receive a licence fee per unit sold, supporting the upkeep and development of further projects.
So, to get to the point, we were wondering if it is going to be viable to launch such a product. And would love some feedback on what you think.
If there is enough interest (we could produce a minimum of 12 of the 2nd option kits) production will start immediately.
Many Thanks
