I hope the upgrades are ala carte, I’ve already got the X-Controller and it probably isn’t worth replacing all the motors for the permanent pulleys (though I did replace the grub screws for screws with nylon locking patches). ---

Nice. A couple of my carves even made it into the promo video. Can’t wait for those royalties to start rolling in… 😉 ---

Hi G-Rock, I am with you in the same boat. I called today and the X-Carve team pulled up my order and offered 150.00 gift card toward the upgrade kit. You can email them or call. Cheers - JG ---

Same thing happened to me. Mine is still in the boxes waiting for me to finish its table. Guess I will be calling. Seems like bad business to ship products days before the “newest” upgraded version is announced. Why didn’t they wait 2-3 days to ship mine and then send the newest one. Not very impressive. ---

I sent them an email and they offered me a choice of returning the unit for a full refund or $150 gift code! The shipping charges would kill me so I will take the gift code and buy the upgrade. Better than nothing although I am disappointed! ---

Having never bought a car via a website, I don’t think your analogy is revelalent. I feel the least Inventables could have done was send an email explaining that a new version was about to be released and offer me the option of waiting for the upgrade (for an upgrade price) or take the lower model at a later delivery time. I am still disappointed with the company. I have seen a tremendous amount of support here on these forums, however so I am encouraged by that aspect. ---

They’ve been hinting at this for over a month now. At the maker fair and half a dozen posts in this forum. With the price difference between the new version and the old one. The cost of the upgrade kit and the $150 discount. I don’t think your doing to bad. I believe the deciding factor in the release time had everything to do with getting the X-Controller (manufacturing issues) ready for market. It is the most expensive part of the upgraded machine. Every other part of this new X-Carve could be and has been done via open source products.
