Fwd: Important End of Service update from Stratasys
vr...@optonline.net
I thought some folks might find this rather interesting.
Will admit - was a little surprised to see this email, but, NOT totally Shocked! As I had thought I heard that a # of years ago, my Mojo printer was Discontinued. I think, at one point - the plan from StrataSys was that the Mojo (at the bottom end) was to be Replaced by the MakerBot Method printer.
Heck, when I bought my printer - it was a $10K Lease (yeah - I know, that's NUTS - and surely NOT Hobby Level). But, I was Super Annoyed when not too long after I got it - the price was actually dropped to like $6K - and, I think it was only like 3 months later or so! That was INSANE!
So, not fully surprised that it was eventually discontinued. And, now this email - End of Serv.! Yikes. But, I AM Surprised that there are Dimension and Fortus printers on the list!!! Yeah - I knew they were the BIG Brothers to my Mojo - I guess I didn't realize those were such old models!
Oh well - that's how the Cookie Crumbles...

Yes, agreed! Incredibly Classic machines. Thus why I thought that sending this message on to the group - some would find it very curious!!!
The other machines, like the Mojo - could produce such Superior parts. I remember my time back in Long Island, trying to run a Biz - I would print some parts for folks on my Mojo - and, they were so Amazed - they actually thought the parts were produced via professional methods like Injection Molding - as they were so Smooth and looked Awesome!
Sad to see they are discontinued...
