RH3D - update
Hey everyone!
I just wanted to give you an update about me, all the development and related things as I have been quiet for some time and I believe you will be happy to know what is going on and what is coming.
As you probably know, I have been fully working on the NG the entire last year, no job, just this. It was a joy but I had to move on as I need to act more responsibly and take better care of my family, living expenses and care more about the future plans.
So by the end of the last year I started looking for a new job and while it took quite some time and got me really overwhelmed for the last two months, I now have a part time job working 3 days a week and the other two (+ evenings sometimes) I have time to work on my own projects (check below to see what exactly).
One of the great things about this is that with the new, steady income and all your support (patreon, ko-fi, affiliate links), I am now able to rent a place to work on all this. It is a huge step up for me as all the time before I have been working on things mostly from our living room which was sometimes exhausting for both me and my wife (not so much for my little daughter :)... Now I finally have a dedicated place which means that I can work much more efficiently, I can start shooting a video or reassembling a printer and leave the mess for another day or week, I can work on things any time I need and don't have to be worried about making a mess :).
That is what I have been mostly doing the last two months - apart from preparing for the new job and going there, I was looking for a place to rent and then moving my printers, parts and filaments there and setting up the new place and I can say I am quite happy with the new setup now and I can't wait to move onto the projects. After catching up with few things, you should finally see some updates coming again!!
ENDER 3 NG - KIT VERSION - I will be releasing complete instructions and details for the kit version so it is easier to start with the project and to follow the build when you buy a kit.
ENDER 3 NG - FINAL TOUCHES - with the kit version coming, I also want to fill all the gaps in the project like missing FW configs, print profiles, unfinished website etc.
THE NEW PRINTER - I have a fully working version that still needs few small updates but I hope to start the close group testing soon and give you all more info about the printer.
MMU V2 - I will do some updates on this one as well and would like to make a video about the setup and release it to public.
E3NG V1.2 UPGRADES - ultimate toolhead, tilting bed carriage and probably more.
VIDEOS! - With the new space I would like to finally make more videos about the project so keep your fingers crossed!
AND MORE - There is more I am working on and I probably even forgot to mention something - there are too many things :).
Once again, thank you all for your amazing support!! <3

Thanks for the update, can't wait for the close beta of the new model. Assuming it will still be an E3(pro) upgrade path I already got myself a donor unit and some extra extrusions etc. ;-)
Congrats for your new Place. Do you know when Funssor will Upgrade their Kits? Or will there be one from Fysec/Siboor?
Thank you! Funssor is updating kits when the current batch is sold but there were only few left some time ago so maybe some are already the new standard "kit" version? I need to check what is the situation. Fysetc should be available pretty soon as well :).
Congrats! I’m Joe from Fabreeko and look forward to working on the NG soon! Enjoy the new space and best of luck!
Hey Joe! Thank you very much, Fabreeko is awesome and I am so happy to work with you!
Dude absolutely stoked for you to keep pushing this and other projects forward, thank you for your continued hard work! Killing it bro.
Haha, thank you! It would be hard to stop so I need to keep pushing :D.. And there are so many ideas in mind - it's hard to resist lol.
Gratz on new job and new workshop-studio ! I like the photo of new place very much! Waiting for new updates ! May the force be with you :)
Thank you! It is great to be in the new place and I like it too! Hope it will stay this clean :).
Yoooo, that's great to read, hope all goes well for you my dude, cheers, Oxydeme
Thank you Oxy! So far it is all going good :).
Congrats on the new job and the new workspace! Can you tell us a little about your new job?
Thank you! Sure I can if you are interested. I'm working as an architect and building engineer in a small studio that's working on buildings ranging from a basic living houses to apartment buildings or office buildings. Feel free to ask if you want to know something specific.
Am glad to support you. Like David I have things here ready and some on the slow boat from China.
Thank you spriggy! You two already have the seat in the testing group :D.
Congrats on the new workspace!!! it's quite the quality of life upgrade. Excited to see what's next and for the future printers. You da MAN! -Skunk-
Thank you! Yes it is a huge upgrade, since I left my previous woodworking shop I always missed the dedicated workspace. It is much more enjoyable now!
cant wait to start testing some of these items! i already have parts in stock ready to go, just waiting on your word!
I know, I have just really been stuck with these things but there should be more progress from now!
