It's arrived - the grand unboxing

[Wellmeadow @wellmeadow]

After waiting for 9 months+, the box has arrived - having followed its progress up the country on the DHL website all day. I thought I’d video the unboxing knowing how eager I was to see one before I got it, for the benefit of all those still waiting. http://youtu.be/7i9k5x7hd-k

Mine arrived today but I’ve not had chance to play with it yet.

Does anyone know if there’s a way to change the font/colours of this community? I find the current combinations eye-searingly uncomfortable.

@jack-strong Nice! I like the little embossed house icon.

@wellmeadow Thanks for the unboxing vid. Packaging looks very nice.
In the second video it seems very loud while printing, is that the mic volume or is it loud-ish?

[Wellmeadow @wellmeadow]

@Adrenaline - it is certainly louder than I was expecting. I left it running overnight and had to shut all the doors so that it didn’t disturb the children upstairs. I think I’m going to have to find somewhere else to put it.

@wellmeadow
can I put your video in the Roboxing getting started wizard ?
That’s already another part of the puzzle in the getting started wizard.

@pelgrim Yes you may use the video, but please check to see if my address is legible on the outer box and if it is I would appreciate it if you could perhaps help obscurity it for me.

It is worth noting that included in the instructions is a helpful section on how to unpack. However it is in a bag, inside the accessories box, inside the outbox. By the time you reach it most of the unpacking has been done!

it is indeed a strange format.
if you could send me the original video I can edit it for you

@Wellmeadow with regards to noise, I put mine on a layer of neoprene foam. In fact, it was an oversized gamers’ mouse mat folded in half, but if you took a double thickness of old soft-style mouse mats, it’d be the same. I then put a metal baking sheet on top just so the holes in the base didn’t get obscured.

This made a huge difference to the transmitted vibrations through the table I had Robox on. The noise in the room is still perceptually similar, but it’s nowhere near as audible in the rest of the house.

(Actually, since then I ordered from eBay a 2″ thick block of hard foam intended as a yoga mat. It does have diminishing returns, though: the mouse mat makes 90% of the difference)

if someone feels up to the task of designing noise/vibration damping feet for the robox ?
Doesn’t have to be printed if you would ask me, anything will do.
