I think this is the new K8200…
Figures they’d release a new one right after I buy the old one.
Don’t worry we’ve got some new products in the pipeline for the old one 
I am sad … several weeks I ago bought K8200 too…
I hope, that Velleman will offer Iglidur bearings with special price for K8200’s users too…
Hello dear moderator(s),
It is now late November and I was curious if you started shipments of the K8400 (Vertex 3D) yet…
I went of course to vertex3dprinter.eu/ and checked the “buy” section then followed all possible distributors but nobody seems to have it in stock.
Some would take preorders but it was unclear when they would deliver, so I felt not worth risking placing an order with one and then someone else has stock first.
Could you please advise where I could get one of these ASAP?
Feel free to email me or PM me if its best to not favor a distributor over another.
Speed to get is my priority and I can drive over anywhere in Belgium to pick one up…
Thanks in advance
Yannis
Is there anyone actually monitoring/moderating this forum? Doesn’t look very likely…
Extending the question to the community therefore: Anyone seen/heard any news on the Vertex3D and who may be likely selling them soon?
SOON™
I just cant give information right now. We hope to ship to our clients before the end of this year.
Hi I can confirm the vertex is now in full production, and a few are already shipped!
That’s good news, well done. I guess a lot people seeing the specs we are excited with this release.
Could you let me know (publicly for all to see, or with private message if not appropriate) which places may be receiving them first (instead of me randomly calling the disty’s one after the other and possible even get inaccurate info)?
Sorry such information i can’t share, simply because i don’t know where those printers are being shipped to…
Maybe ask to your local dealer to give you a call as soon he receives one…
Even if we knew who carried them, we are not allowed to point people to a certain distributor, this would be unfair towards other distributors.
We’d suggest you google for K8400, most likely a number of distributors will show up that advertise the printer on their website and most likely they will indicate if they have stock.
Hi,
I do understand this point of fairness to the channel of resellers -thus I suggested a private message too, pointing me to the closest one to me maybe- but on the other hand it does not help me when I need one quickly as you can guess…
I am just off the phone with 5-6 of them, nobody had any stock neither were aware of shipments and they all seem to think they will be getting them January 15th or February 22nd (the two dates they all mentioned).
A couple agreed to take my details and call back when they do have it, but that still does not really help me… do I give it a couple days or keep calling people up from the list?
having shopped in the past from other vendors that use resellers somehow I was at least pointed to the right direction with few options but not favoritism. That’s why I thought to ask here and maybe even someone from the community knows where the first one turn up…
Did you try any Dutch or German suppliers that sell online?
Thanks for the tip VEL417 … got a vendor who received 6 of them and one is now coming my way
I will post elsewhere in the forum my first impressions (and prints) once I receive and assemble it.
Good to hear, hope you will love the printer =), I made mine recently and i love it =D
Nice to see you got hold of one. Let us know your experiences.
