Since they came on the scene around a year ago, botObjects and their ProDesk3D 3D printer have been criticized, ridiculed and threatened due to controversial product renderings, failed shipments, and lackluster customer service. There was even a Twitter account created for those who pre-ordered a ProDesk3D to vent their frustrations. Well, in an effort to make good with the design and making community, founders Martin Warren and Mike Duma are back on the scene with the ProDesk3D and it’s ready to ship. They even came out to show off the printer at last week’s Inside 3D Printing event in New York City. We had a quick talk with them to see where they’re at with the printer, how they’ve been dealing with the frustrations and negative feedback, as well as what we can expect from the company in the next year.
