Cobblebot 3D Printer

[JeffBlack]

While I am much more pleased with the recent article compared to the last one, there are still some thing I have issue with.

Yes, they have shipped some printers, but the article implies (at least to me) that numerous printers have shipped and people are happy with it. So far I know of 2 people receiving the kit. A pre-order and a SEB backer. Neither got any instructions on how to build. After contacting Cobblebot and some back and forth, Cobblebot told Mike why but doesn't want anyone to know why and said he would receive instructions soon.

I wouldn't be surprised if "fourth round" was BS. I doubt a business can threaten to sue its customers without it coming out much quicker than the "fourth round".

I wouldn't be so sure.
Some people would be too scared to publicly admit that someone had sent them a cease and desist letter as they may feel that that could result in further legal action, or them not getting their printer.

I was banned from their forums (and all my posts deleted) "pending review for defamation by their legal department" in early December.
They then later sent a cease and desist letter in early January for negative remarks towards them on the cobblebot google+ group (not hosted or run by cobblebot). (giving 3 statements I made)
Then, in early February when their little monster Kickstarter was almost complete they sent another email stating " Cobblebot Inc. is currently reviewing the totality of your actions and determining damages, which is expected to be in excess of $100,000" conveniently the goal for the little monster Kickstarter, money they wouldn't have had if the Kickstarter wasn't successful.

I asked for evidence of the falsity of the claims I had made that they deem defamatory and are yet to receive a response.

So there is at least 2 or 3, and of course we have DJBrownies sudden retraction of all his comments and stating it is "just his opinion". I suspect he received a cease and Desist as well.


P.S. the links in the article seem to be missing their "//" to make it link here.
