I know they recently released the Replicator 2X. Does anyone know if and when the next release of a 3D printer will be? I'm just wondering if I should get the Replicator 2X or wait til the next one comes out so that I am ahead of the curve.

I don't thing that they've announced anything new as of now. The 2X did just come out a few months ago though so if you really want to sit and wait for something better then go for it.
Personally, I work with a Replicator 2 and the new 2X at work. I think it would be worth it to get the 2X, but I really can't say for sure until I get a chance to try out Makerware 2.3 for a while.
What do you do at work, that required the use of the 2X?Quote:

Ive got some gopro stuff in the works as well as at least one posted to the thingivers. The mount can be tricky because it has a somewhat high tolerance for the size and the go pro models aren't exactly alike. For example the HERO3 has a different sized mount than the gopro2.
What I am working on is for attaching it to a quadrocopter and it's mostly an issue about the COG and vibration fracturing the plastic. I haven't given up on it but I have taken a break from it ;)
