I have been currently commissioned by Eaglemoss to help with issues around this printer, I have built one on subscription and purchased one complete. I am running both on windows 10 and printing happily.
I am endorsed by Eaglemoss and I will do my upmost to help. FYI I am a fully qualified IT technician.

My software has failed to show me the full print area, I’m missing the Z-Axis parameters so the printer doesn’t know the height of the print area?
Running Win 10 home, version 1607, build 14393.576 on an athlon II x4 630 processor. 64 bit OS on x64 based machine.
Tried the install on another pc running win 10 32 bit and the print area is shown in its entirety?
Do i need to but a PC running a different version of windows?
Hi I have a v3 printer from Eaglemoss but am having trouble with my slicer software. I can calibrate my printer so I don’t think it’s a problem communicating with the printer. When I try to slice a file it comes up with an error message "unhandled thread exception " at first I thought it was my file I made from sketchup but I tried a file from the 3d create and print website and I get the same message. I have attached a picture of the full error message. What can I do to resolve the issue? I hope you can help me. Kind regards Nick

Hi Chris,
First I would like to introduce myself. My name is Maurice Arnold and I am a retired computer programmer. I am also a UK expatriate and am based in a suburb of Melbourne, Australia.
Hardware was never my specialty although I can usually cope with it. The Vector 3 printer seems to be an exception. This is partly because I find the instructions as clear as mud and partly because I am new to 3D printing terminology.
To get down to actual cases, I am having serious problems with the construction of my printer. The three most significant problems at present are with the heater cable replacement which came with issue 70, the printer head and the printer hood.
I will quickly summarize these below:
1) I find the instructions unclear about the installation of the new heater and am not sure what to disconnect from the original heater cable setup.
2) I also find the instructions unclear about how the filament feeds into the printer head and how and where the external pipe comes into play.
3) The assembly of the printer hood has me beaten. I have had screws popping out all over the place and, unless I am much mistaken the holes in the clear panels do not align the way they should with the corresponding holes in the frame. If they did I am sure I would not have had any problems with the screws. I especially cannot see how to secure the plastic parts which hold the two halves of the hood together. After trying for many hours I have decided to give up and seek help.
Can you help me with these matters please? I have some thoughts about point 3 and am wondering if a pre-assembled hood would be the easiest way to solve the problem. Is such a thing available and, if so, how much would it cost me?
