The company plans to give owner of MH3000R1 with parts with the help of which they can upgrade their printer and for CAD499, the users will get all the upgrades that come with the RoVa3D.
The company launched a contest named “Name Our Printer” for their new version of MH3000R1. For the first two weeks they asked citizens of Canada and USA to send their innovative names for naming the machine then the contest was opened to the rest of the world. There were many entries but the name that got selected was by Joe Williams from Bay of Plenty in New Zealand. He suggested the name RoVa in reverence to the Mars Rover. The “V” in the name RoVa is capitalized in order to associate it with the number of printing heads that is five (Roman numeral V=5).
The printer is priced at $2, 599.
