You get what you pay for!
The Robo R2 was my first 3D printer and I purchased it (full price) after months of comparison and deliberation. Who wants to throw away $1500 on something that is going to break in 3 months or something you have to beg the manufacture to support their product? All that being said, I love this thing! It really is about the little things, like wifi, simple setup, and most importantly standing behind your product. From unboxing I was able to print within an hour. There were some growing pains as I figured out what to print and what supports were needed but since then I've printed dozens of things (examples in the attached pictures) with no problems.The one thing that really cemented Robo for me was the fact that they actually took the time to email me to ask about my purchase. Originally I thought it was an automated message or a bot so I ignored it. However a few days later I was sent another email that was obviously not automated. One of my comments was about the fan noise of the original power supply. They mentioned it shouldn't be as loud as I described and they shipped me a new one (that is completely silent) at no charge. That is truly good customer service. There are cheaper options out there, having them stand behind their product only increases my confidence in my purchase decision.

I'm the owner of a Flashforge Creator Pro already that works great but needs a lot of TLC to keep it ...
Based on the specs, this is the printer that had everything I wanted. To clarify, I'm the owner of a Flashforge Creator Pro already that works great but needs a lot of TLC to keep it going. The first Robo 3d R2 I bought from Amazon worked great for the first print and then it has issues feeding the filament, whether it was PLA or ABS (it would stop feeding and make tapping noises - searching the forums indicated many others had the same issue). Reading the forums, folks indicated to increase the nozzle temperature, which I did. It made it better, but it still occurred and I got tired of having prints fail after hours of printing. It's not why I spent 1400 bucks. I returned the first printer for a replacement, which thanks to Amazon arrived promptly, well packed, etc. This printer had issues from the beginning in that when printing ABS the print bed would not heat up past 90 degrees ( I set it for 100 degrees). I would get an error message on the LCD screen asking me to reset the printer controls and that the heating function failed. I have contacted Robo3d, but it usually takes a couple of days to get a response and I doubt they have a cure. So very likely this one will go back also.It would be a great product, but in my opinion their quality control is not where it needs to be. I doubt it is design issues as each printer has had different problems.Too bad, this one would be great if it lived up to the specs/advertisement.I consider myself to be a beginner but certainly not a novice.I will update this review if the issue gets solved or if I decide to risk a 3rd replacement and it works.UPDATE:Well, I have to say I am very impressed with my personal outcome. Having had some issues with the R2 feeding filament and being unable to heat the printbed hot enough for ABS, I have to say that all my issues have now been resolved by what I have to say is a very impressive support organization at Robo3d. The filament feeding issue I was having was solved by printing at a slightly higher temperature than I was use to (210 for PLA instead of 190, 240 for ABS instead of 220). The issue of the printbed not getting hot enough to print ABS, and it failing with an error message, turned out to be fixed by a redesign of the print bed. Robo3d shipped me the new printbed and with 5 minutes of easy work I replaced the old one with the new one and voila, I am now printing PLA and ABS successfully and couldn't be happier. Hard to find another fully assembled 3d printer with auto bed leveling, camera, wifi, and large print volume at this price point. Back that with excellent customer support, something that is mandatory with 3d printers, and I am very happy. I was one of the first to receive an R2, and it is a brand new printer, so some early adopter issues are expected. I feel Robo3d has worked through those and I have an excellent 3d printer in the R2 now. We use it for the high school 3d printing club and the students and I are very happy. Prints take time and the students being able to view the print in progress via the phone app is more useful than I ever thought! 5 Stars it is!

HORRIBLE - DO NOT BUY
***DO NOT BUY***Ordered this 3D printer as it says it works great for first timers and works with Apple. The first print was great, the one where it gives you options to choose from the machine, I chose a phone stand. After that, after creating my own personal designs on the software for the machine, every print would start off ok then end up being one big glob of melted plastic. I was in contact with the manufacturer for a MONTH and I got transferred to about 6-8 different people to try and figure this out and NO ONE was able to tell me how to fix it and they did nothing to accommodate me and they told me that it was MY fault and that I needed a new computer. (let me add: my computer is brand new and nothing is or was wrong with it). Super long story short because I could go on for about 10 more pages, I returned this product and I do NOT recommend spending the ridiculous amount of money it costs for a machine to not work and only cause your frustration.***DO NOT BUY***

Approximate bed print size is 8X8.
Robo Guys just called me and are working hard on a software fix for my situation. I'd have to say because of the popularity of this product, they might take some time to get back to you (a day or so), but they will. I sincerely appreciate Rob, Dan, and geez...the other guys on the phone as well that are jumping on this issue. I'm bumping this to Four Stars just because of the Herculean effort they are putting into the fix. It will be upgraded to a 5 Star rating if the update works.
