Hi Guys,

Was glad to see we’re not the only ones having trouble with the Eaglemoss V3.

We’ve progressed to 84 and have run into some significant problems. The build quality isn’t so much the issue but the driver / firmware / software are dreadful.

Have contact eaglemoss and they put me in touch with a technician who can only be contacted

by e-mail.

I have sent some very detailed explainations of the problems we are having and waited days for one line responses that boarder on insulting ones intelligence.

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.

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!

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
