Smoothie Group Purchase

[jimustanguitar]

If you're in the market for a SmoothieBoard, some guys on the SeeMe forum are piggybacking on a Google delta group, group order to get special pricing. 
Deal ends tonight if you're interested.

How much for a 4X? Right now it's listed at $135 on shop.uberclock.com/collections/smoothie/products/smoothieboard-4x

[jimustanguitar]

That's what I'm not sure of... I think it really does depend on how many people sign up.
I saw in the (9 page) thread that the 5XC should go for $123 as long as there are more than 100 orders.

I believe that they're just going to give everyone a promotional code to use at checkout. I guess we'll know soon.

Nice find. The timing was just right.

For those of you that don't get on the deltabot list regularly, here's more information:

Hey everybody !

So, the deadline is over. You can stop telling us how many things you want now
Thanks everybody

The plan was : if we reach 20, we give you the discount price for 100 boards.
And if we reach 100, we give you the discount price for 200.

There's no discount if you reach 200 etc ... so there's no real need to count or announce your orders since we reached 100.

But it's cool that you were so detailed in your messages, it helped us figuring out that we need to get ready some more panels and adapters.

So, about the price. The simplest way to do a discount for us, is to just give you a discount code on this list.
That means two awesome things :
1. Your discount applies also to panels, adapters, voltage regulators etc ... you may order along with your board
2. Even if you missed the deadline, as long as you are suscribed to this list you'll be able to use the discount code ( it'll be time-limited ( probably to a week ) though, so make sure you use it quick when we release it here ).

So, we are going to use the 4X board as a baseline for the discount.

The retail price for the 4XC is $135.
When you reached qty 20, it dropped to the qty 100 price point : $106.50
When you reached qty 100, it dropped to the qty 200 price point : $102.43

That's a price reduction from the retail price of 24% ( let's round that to 25% ).

So, now we are going to work on making sure we have enough stock of everything for everybody, and pretty soon ( don't ask me when, don't know ) we'll be posting a discount code right here.

Then you order normally on the shop, enter the discount code, and get a very neat price.

Thanks to Imantz for setting this up, and things everybody for your enthusiasm

Cheers !

From Arthur

"Hello everybody !

Sorry for the delay, we had to make sure we had stock of everything you guys wanted

The code is now live, and it is :

DELTABOT-MARCH2015

Yay ! Fireworks ! \o/

This code is valid on both Uberclock.com ( for North-America orders ) and Robotseed.com ( for the rest of the planet ).

It will give you a 25% discount on your entire order ( not just your Smoothieboard ).

The code should be valid until the end of March.

Thanks everybody a ton for all the enthusiasm and for enabling this !

Cheers.

PS : Not mandatory, but we'd really love it if we got pictures/videos of your deltas running Smoothie once they do ^^"

Just came here to post this! Jim: did you order yours yet?

[jimustanguitar]

I've been mobile all day. Hopefully I'll get the order in this afternoon.

[sgraber]

Anyone end up ordering one?

[jimustanguitar]

I did, yep. Got a 5x with an LCD adapter and the graphic LCD panel. It all came in the Thursday before MRRF.

[sgraber]

I'm trying to decide if I'm going to buy one.....

[jimustanguitar]

I've got 2 of them. Haven't used them yet, but I can definitely tell you that I like the firmware. And for a delta printer, they certainly have the horsepower needed.

Brian has one on the Nemesis.
