Hi Magneto X Community,
Greetings from SMRRF 2023 in Oxford, UK! I'm here battling the tail end of a flu, but I didn't want to miss the chance to share an update on Magneto X.
I know many of you were eagerly anticipating seeing Magneto X in action at the event. That was our plan too. Unfortunately, we faced some unexpected challenges with the electrical setup in the older building where the event is being held. This issue affected the load cell sensor on the extruder. While trying to fix it, I accidentally shorted the communication board. We had spare extruders, but not spare boards, which meant we couldn't print at the event.
I understand how disappointing this is for you all, and I share your feelings. But let's focus on what we can do moving forward:
1) Live Stream Session: I'll be hosting a live stream next week, where I'll be available to answer your questions while we showcase the printer in action. Mark your calendars for December 8th, 2023.
2) Uncut Printing Video: Before the live stream, we'll release a full, unedited video of the printer working, so you can see it for yourself.
3) Heading Back: I'm traveling back to Hong Kong tonight, so there might be a bit of a delay in communication.
I apologize for not being able to communicate sooner due to the busy nature of the show and dealing with my flu. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We're all in this together, and I'm committed to keeping you informed and engaged.
Warm regards,
Mark Peng

Will the live stream on Friday December 8th be USA time or will it happen on Thursday here in US?

I don’t mind waiting. I waited 3 years for a prusa XL. What I don’t like is receiving a half-baked product. The XL unfortunately is less than half-baked. Take your time and don’t make the same mistakes. Learn not only from your mistakes but those of your competitors.

Was great meeting you on SMRRF Mark!

Good team in the photo!
It is a pity that it happened, not quite as you expected.
Just your triumph is still ahead.
I will wait for my magneto x as much as necessary.
Success to you.
Brian
Thank you for the update and get well soon!
