Premature order

[Junior483]

Good day. New to the forums. I am really enjoying seeing what everyone is doing and all the projects displayed.

I am new to CNC. Brand new. I just ordered a Shapeoko 2 Full Kit. Then I read about the big announcement later this month.

What to do?

Cancel and wait or leave as is?

Thanks in advance

Where did you read this?

[Junior483]

Few post older than mine. Metalli445 was having the same regrets. Nothing confirmed.

I'm certainly not in the know, but it could be a 3D printer, or a Laser Cutter, or attachments/retrofit for the shapeoko. Not necessarily version 3.0.

And there's this post where Edward mentions a S3. Not the one from April 1st because that didn't have any custom plates...

He meant S2, I'm sure.

[edwardrford]

Definitely meant S2

We'll find out tomorrow, but I'd guess the word "big" is not accidentally in the tweet twice. Perhaps it is an upsized SO2 with longer XY rails.

I can tell you with 100% certainty that the announcement is an Inventables announcement. Shapeoko has nothing to announce.

However, we've gotten some interesting ideas out of guessing games, so here's some fodder:

Inventables announcement is of a 3D printer kit along the lines of an Ordbot
