History
In 2012, a group of students from San Diego State University (SDSU), frustrated by the cost of using the school’s only expensive and industrial 3D printer, set out to create their own 3D printer. The motivation was to create a cheaper alternative to the current leading 3D printing brands.
After beginning product development on a dining room table, the group went to Kickstarter to seek funding. With a funding target of $49,000, a total of $649,663 was pledged.
On January 16, 2014, Robo3D was mentioned in Time magazine's article on 3D printers at CES. On August 20, 2015, Fine Brothers Entertainment released an episode of 'Elders React to 3D Printers' which features a Robo 3D R1 printer.
The R1
The physical dimensions of the R1 are 17 by 15 by 18 inches (43 cm × 38 cm × 46 cm) allowing it to have a build volume of 10 by 9 by 8 inches (25 cm × 23 cm × 20 cm) or 720 cubic inches (11.8 l). The layer resolution is 100 µm on high, 200 µm on medium and 300 µm on low. The filament diameter is 1.75 mm and the nozzle diameter is 0.4 mm.
