out of those two - then the printrbot would be the choice - with the lcd screen.
The micro just seems too cheaply made to survive much travelling - and doesn't have the untethered option. Which is a must for me.

I did not know the Printrbot came with a built in SD card slot, awesome!
As far as the LCD screen, I don't see that as on option but an add on, which I'm assuming is how you both mean. I also was reading into Octoprint, which theoretically would allow me to wireless use my laptop correct? A Rasberry pi is what, like $30 and a few little parts and I should be good to go I would think.
From what I've been reading it seems like the main issue is the main board. Has anyone confirmed if the issues have been fixed? I heard they can easily fry themselves, bad USB connector, and faulty boards.

Correct, this is also an add on sold by Printrbot if you're into it. I think they're even working on something more integrated as you can see on their twitter.
1 simple question : how old was this post ? If this stems back from their initial KS product : OK. I don't think this is true any longer : they have now integrated the production of the boards internally (no longer subcontracted) and overall integration in the product seems OK. Never had a problem in a year. That being said, they announced on their twitter their intention to move away from mini USB on the coming board revisions.
Please explain to me how to...
