Cetus3D 3D Printer
awemawson:
Thanks Dave, no idea how I missed that - must be getting too old :bang:
nrml:
I thought you mentioned a while back that you were supporting the E3D big box project on kickstarter. Did you withdraw from that?
Someone with your knowledge, skills and resources could build a much better printer than the cetus for a similar budget IMO. 9mm and 12mm linear rails are less than £17 delivered these days.
awemawson:
Yes I did, and I withdrew when they decided that the full spec model would only be shipped as a kit not assembled as had been implied. It's a time issue - yes I'm sure I could make one from scratch, but there are only so many hours in a day and I'd like to get it done before the kids are screwing in the last coffin nail :lol:
awemawson:
Text from DHL saying they would now deliver today 3rd May so I arranged to be in all day. 16.16 I got another text saying that they had made a 'failed delivery', but no card in the letter box confirming this.
Now anyone who's been to my place will know there's an alarm on the front gate connected to every building, there are two dogs who ALWAYS let us know if we have visitors, and a whole pile of cameras, so the courier picked the wrong place to falsely claim he'd been here :lol:
Quick phone call to DHL to get them to turn the courier round - they contacted him pretty quickly but he refused to return - I'm fairly sure he was already on his way home at the time of the alleged failed delivery.
35 minutes talking to DHL 'help desk' failed to find a solution - I'm out after 10 am tomorrow so my suggestion was that they could do a pre-10 am and all would be fine. Not possible the girl tells me.
Escalation to supervisor who immediately takes a much more constructive approach after hearing that no way was it a failed delivery, more a 'couldn't be arsed', confirms he will arrange a pre-10 am delivery tomorrow and then mutters about checking the couriers GPS data tomorrow when it's available :clap:
... .we'll see what happens tomorrow morning for this delivery for which DHL have received £91 :bang:

It is like box of chokolate as in Forrest Gump. Last time my DHL delivery was great. Delivery girl called me in advance and I alerted the neighbour.
Then there is Post Nord, that collects much of delivery from many comppanies, tries delivery when ever they pease, no prior contact, leave a note with their hand writen case number, service phone does npt answer, you can't pick it up from their depo and they can't try delivery next day or reroute or rechedule.
Lucilyt usually you get it in the end.
