If you want the controller with the screen the foreman size is $3025. If you dont want the screen IE run it from a laptop then its $2375
I believe the short answer is yes, and Onefinity have always pointed to “keeping and selling current CNC later” as for most the most value. That last term is relative, personal, and varies widely by user 
I wonder if the Gen 2 Z slider will fit on the gen 1 machines and gain that tiny bit of side to side clearance for a slightly larger cutting area.
It will be by the time your machine ships out, and yes, it will be by the time your machine ships out 
Careful, I complained about pricing about a year ago and was ganged up on by the price police. You will never keep up with the newest technology unless you have some very deep pockets. No matter what you have spent Onefinity will not give you a freebie or any type of discount. Just my two cents.
Will there be IPP options for the journeyman on the buildboticks now that you’ve announced end of life? And when will IPP details be released?
The IPP has not changed. If you purchase from our IPP page, you send back the old parts the new parts replace: ie. bb Buildbotics controller, MASSO controller, power supply, wires, motors, rails.
Absolutely. It’s always more expensive to do an upgrade path rather than buy a fully upgraded machine from the start (especially during a promo deal or Black Friday). We always recommend getting the machine you can fit and afford first.
It will, but it’s not as much of a gain without the upgraded gantry blocks that sink in the ball nuts. It won’t be an upgrade we have now (maybe later) because the benefits of it alone we don’t think would justify the cost. That said, if it’s a heavily requested thing, we could change course.
I’ll be taking the screen for sure.
We think the screen (Redline HMI) is worth every penny!
One thing is still a bit confusing. I keep seeing redline screen does that mean controller?
Good question. I expect it means the big 15” HMI (human machine interface 
). There’s a separate controller box and the VFD box. The HMI is a touch screen and is how you interact with the system. It’s an inch & a half thick because I believe there’s a computer buried in there (a Raspberry PI 5) and power supply in addition to just the touch screen. Although the R-PI could be in the controller box.
so it is separate from the redline controller that comes with the new gen2 offering? Your answer is confusing me more not less LOL
thank you for this information this old guy is now relaxing.
Its in their new promo video if you want to see it there as well. Linked the video starting at the point they mention it. https://youtu.be/BREac0Dv8pw?si=cK5mjcdWa3rIPIuD&t=228
EDIT: I am curious what connection this uses to go from PC to controller. If I could use ethernet from super far away or if its USB A/C
The connection between the RTCNC controller is USB2.0 via a USB-C cable.
