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?
when you click print do you choose on-line or the off-line option???

An update from me.
1. Still can’t update the firmware on the V3 with Adruino as per instruction in issue 76. Continually get ‘failed to upload’ message. Adruino can sense the board (displayed as Comm6) and I’ve checked the settings. Is there a way to download what’s already on the board?
2. Managed to get the unit to print some very simple initials using the ‘Repetier-Host’ software
Having trouble with larger objects sticking to the build plate, the filament seams to peel back and get caught amongst the nozzle, leaving a right proper mess. Think that might be something to do with the settings in Repetier-Host .
3. Get a better degree of adhesion to build plate with the V3 Printer Software but the print fails every time at layer 2 or 3 (very frustrating)!
Can anybody help or advise?
PS Eaglemoss - still waiting for Issue 80 which was ordered and paid for in Aug-16. Get your act together.

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!

Lets see
Printing leaning towards the left was a loose belt pulley grub screw y axis
no Z drive was the hood limit switch not activated
poor bed adhesion was print bed too cold and used blue painters tape - bed heater died ebay replacement now get 100c on the bed
Shutting off halfway through print was PC going into power save mode
not printing ABS heat head not hot enough cured by wrapping print head in cotton insulation and kapton tape gave me another 20degrees C
update the firmware and run software as administrator,
also I have ditched the lid, the Lexan cover and the print head cover and the Teflon tube,
now getting quite good prints
