Title: DoBot Magician
Post by: WriterOfMinds on May 16, 2017, 03:56:03 am

Earlier this year I was fortunate enough to get the chance to try out the DoBot Magician robot arm (primarily its 3D-printing capabilities) and wrote a little review of it.

Summary: the mechanical parts seem solid, it has adequate printing resolution, and it was easy to connect to my computer. But the firmware had at least one serious issue, the support community was weak, and it isn't very friendly to hacking/modding attempts.
