Now I must say that I am quite impressed so far. Seems nicely made and robust. I do have a couple of criticisms though. No documentation in the box what so ever, and the extruder head mounting seems a bit flimsy using only two of the four possible screws. However attention to details such as including a UK style cable for the mains not the frequently supplied nasty adaptor is good.
Fairly obvious how the build plate fixes (four countersunk screws) and the extruder head (two cap screws) and the main cable has a multi-way plug for the head, so that's easy, but there's a floating black and red cable pair terminated together in a forked crimp that has no obvious point to put it. A bit of googling reveals that they have had problems with static, and it's a drain wire and needs fixing to the metal work of the extruder motor.
Now I need to decide which PC I'm going to install the software on, and connect it up.
PekkaNF:
good thing
Once I got kitchen fume hood from the mail and the outside box had only one corner a little crushed and on first inspection all shiny stainless steel parts were fine, but when I checked the mounting plate i noticed that the weight/inertia had bent then shell out of alignment of the mounting plate/fan. Sent the picture and they arranged to pick it up and to send new one. It would have been hard to straighten/align parts without major disassembly.
Whole lot of stuff you got with it. How much it came to cost total?

£441.76 landed in the UK then an additional £50 handling / custom charge. HOWEVER, looking at the paperwork that they supplied to customs they have grossly under stated the value (NOT at my request!)
But so far the downloaded software is refusing to run - starts up then crashes - others on the forum having the same issue. This is on a Win7 32 bit machine. I'm going to try a 64 bit Win7 machine and see if that works :scratch:
awemawson:
Well it works on the 64 bit machine, and I've had it driving all axis about, so probably functional. :clap:
Yet to actually do anything with it as events are overtaking me - expecting a 'sock lamb' shortly as company for the other orphan lamb so having to sort out it's accommodation :med:
John Stevenson:
Careful with that scraper Andrew, if it's anything like the one they supplied with my UP [ and it's the same company according to Joules ] then you could shave a peach with it.
Wickedly sharp.
