content: Ok I'll skip my usual rant about 3D printers in general.Just got 2 CEL Robox dual extruder 3D printers I need to get rid of. They are boxed, appear unused (I suspect they are 'repaired by replacement' units) and actually seem to work. I took a deep breath and tried each of them, both printed a perfectly acceptable piece without any screaming or shouting from me. They really were 'plug and play'. They have a 2 year CEL warranty, I'm pretty sure these are unregistered and CEL will look after you if anything goes wrong... (I won't lol)http://www.cel-robox.com/They do seem to get some very good reviews and user commentshttps://www.3dhubs.com/3d-printers/cel-roboxOne has a full reel of white PLA and all the accessories, the other has a 75% full reel of white PLA and is missing the rather pointless 'clean up' kit that normally comes with them.List price seems to be around £800+VAT on the internet, get one of these for £250+VAT and shipping (£10 UK, £20 sensible EU countries). The last 3 I listed on here sold very quickly so make your mind up quick if you want one of these. Discount for both!Used ones sell for £500-£600 on Ebay, opportunity for somebody to make a quick profit here....BOTH SOLD

content: Ian packs really well, the stuff he sent to me arrived intact, even though it was handled by those rejected as too rough by Parcelfarce, AKA SAPO.

content: Probably the same cost to you as to me, so not too bad. Still cheaper than buying in the shop, though now both are sold in any case.

content: Quote from: TopLoser on November 12, 2016, 01:56:14 pmReceived. For me it looks like used. I suspect itwas repaired by replacing print head. Googling suggested there were a lot of problems with original print head. And my unit have a new version of it, which supposedly fixes a lot of issues.EDIT: print head has 47 hours of usage.

content: Nope, head is bad actually, that's why it was returned. Print head has own memory, so hours are stored there. 0.8mm nozzle does not work, and 0.3mm pinch valve leaking a little bit. Also, although part number suggests it's version 2 head (RBX01-S2-....), it looks like version 1 physically, at least according to the pictures I find with google. I guess Ian printed with normal setting which uses 0.3 mm nozzle, so it seemed to be fine. Ian is very honest as always and offered full refund + let me keep the printer. That would be too much and I suggested to refunding the cost of the replacement head only.

content: Installed dual material kit instead of the faulty head, and now it prints very decently.
