    It is probably not so unbearable for you because you already have yours and are in constant communication with M3D, but for the rest of us, we have no idea at all what is going on at M3D. To us, it seems like they've just dropped off the face of the planet and nothing is getting done. Your videos are really the only proof that the thing even exists and works... so we really appreciate what you're doing in keeping us up to date.
    I completly understand being annoyed with the lateness of the product. But that's normal for KS. Most of us go into it now with experience knowing that and even making jokes about it. My main point was in reality the update really isn't that late "yet". They said somewhere in the beginning to expect monthly updates. I expected it again by the 19th, as their prior update was December 19. My guess is it was ready on the 19th, but on the 20th there was a change and now they are just awaiting some news.

    Did you see the pics on their Instagram from the education connfrence they were at in FL? They had a couple really short videos there as wel..http://instagram.com/themicro3d




    @waytomanyhobies. I had no luck connecting the micro with matter control. I tried every version of printer there. If you have any other ideas let me know.

    Thanks for trying - I see in their latest update that this issue is specifically addressed. Inferring from their statement

    "Our goal right now is to get The Micro working perfectly on Windows first, then Mac and Linux, and then much more development will be needed to make the system completely open G-code compatible. For example, pre-processing is currently used by the M3D software to offload processing from The Micro electronics itself, such as with bed leveling compensation."

    this may be a long term issue. Hopefully it will get addressed soon.
