Not perfect..but getting much better

So I've had my printer together for a few months now and I finally feel like I'm starting to get the kind of output I was looking for when I started building my Rostock Max. In between printing parts for a robot my wife has asked for several things. This is the latest - a great back-scratcher from thingyverse:

Now, if I can keep from destroying another hotend ;) I will hopefully get this guy printed: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:114349

That's a cool little robot. I went to the EZ-Robot site and they didn't seem to have anything for sale.
I thought they sold the kits? If you print the one from Thingiverse it looks as though you will still need
to buy additional parts. If EZ-Robot doesn't sell anything where would you get the parts?

You are correct about the kits, I actually have two kits and want to use one with the Traxbot. EZ now has an online repository of snap together parts that can be 3D printed.

When I went to the EZ site, I couldn't find anything for sale. Don't know what's up with that.

Nice print! On a side note my 8 year old daughter heard the music and started dancing. She asked what I was watching as she necked over to see it printing her response was "Oh, a printer"..... she obviously does not understand the coolness!!

They must be getting ready for a new release. That would also explain how I got my 2nd kit from Makershed.com at more than $80 off.
