Well Chaps, our V3 is still not working and we’ve had little in the way of assistance from Eaglemoss. Still awaiting issue 80, ordered in August. (An absolute shower of proverbial).

I was so fed up, I tried to complain to the Consumer Ombudsman but this is the response I got back from them:

"We contacted the company to ascertain if it was prepared to allow us to review your complaint.

The company has not replied, therefore we are not able to investigate your issues.

As per the government legislation, companies do not have to sign up to an alternative dispute resolution scheme such as ours.

Please contact the company directly for details of any other redress scheme that it may be willing to engage with."

What ever happened to Theresa May’s ‘stand up for the little guy?’

The problem we’re having (apart from the buggy printer driver on win7). The confounded thing will not finish a print. It just hangs about 3/4 way through the first layer. We’ve tried very simple shapes of various sizes. Some picture of a failure this morning.

The problem could be the g-code compiler on the V3Software. I guess the next step is to try an alternative compiler, but not sure of the printer settings - Cura an option?

Same here, far too many calls being told we’re expecting a delivery in the next couple of weeks

The problem is you people are paid to tell lies on the phone. “Waiting on back orders”. “We’re expecting circuit boards in the next couple of weeks” biggest pile of bs company I’ve ever had the misfortune of knowing.

You can apply for a refund via your credit card, if you used it for any instalment.

If you paid, by debit card, you can ask your bank to refund the full amount.

I became very ill so, I haven’t been able to do anything.

My V3 is collecting dust!

I am getting a Markforged Onyx Pro soon so, I will be progressing in other way’s.

I will continue to slate Eaglemoss at every opportunity!
