    They just shipped the first 60 units to backers a couple of days ago. There should be more reviews by real users soon.

    They just sent me a tracking number for mine, so it looks like it is actually happening.

    Mine was delivered by DHL about an hour ago. It's going to be a long afternoon before I can get home and unbox.

    My wife just informed me of my Mod-t's delivery... And she unboxed it for me...

    I have the sneaking suspicion that if I don't get home early, she might do a first print on it without me.

    And now is about 8 hrs later. After a delicious dinner, I set about unboxing. It was really packaged beautifully and was very easy to setup.

    During first connection, my pc (Win 10) didn't see the MOD-t, so I used the FAQ (http://support.newmatter.com/custome...e-installation) and got it going.

    Things were smooth for a while, but during calibration, the build table moved very noisily through the x-axis for several minutes. Sounded like it was crushing rocks. I was about to unplug to save it from eating itself when it settled in.

    I had it start the test print of the NM logo. It wiped off the nozzle on the right side, but some extruded filament strung into the print. I picked out what was loose and let it keep going. At 27%, the print broke loose from the print bed. I moved the piece out of the way so the nozzle kept extruding into space because the head had moved up about 2 mm (the thickness of the print). I pressed the front panel button and it stopped extruding and the head raised up.

    There is a rough spot on the bottom of the print, probably where the original extraneous filament was laying on the print bed when it started printing. I think that is why it broke loose.

    As I write this, the nozzle is staying hot (202C) and the fan is running full out. I finally tried to resume, but the nozzle was still 2 mm up in the air. I finally had to unplug power to get it to stop trying to resume. It is now quiet.

    I think I'll call it night and work on it again tomorrow.

    I've also had some problems with setting up my MOD-t since it arrived, though at least for now it appears to be my fault. The machine requires a wifi signal, and I don't have one in the workshop where I was hoping to set it up.

    Also, while I didn't have any significant problem getting the test print going, the interface completely lacks a "stop current print" function, so if it does fail, the only way to cancel the print completely is to unplug the machine.

    Also, I noticed the print had a lot of acceleration and deceleration. Is that handled in the firmware, or is it something I have to account for in my slicer?
