MR03 shipped this week.

No worries mate, I ordered both motors, even though there was a bit of a mix up with my payment and some refunding stuff, but that is all taken care of by Ed now and Ed truly a great guy / machine builder to trade with...
I had a breake in and lost a lot of tattoo related stuff, machines, inks and so on, and he threw in some nice free stuff along with the machine to help me get back on my feet again, that is a truly great gesture and it shows how cool he is when it comes to trading and his services in general, two big thumbs up......
Well enough rambling and off topic stuff, just thought that I would let people know how nice Ed has been to me

@asA
Broken as in not functioning as it should or as in broken during shipping and transportation ?

Broken as in the shaft of the motor sheared off. Ill post photos when I get to the shop. Happened after a few lines of tattooing.

It seems that the swash cams are failing I have had reports of this happening on two other machines. The initial cams were fine and held up but the production cams are different some how I will make them in steel next week and ship them out to everyone. Also I will have some new sponges made at the correct size as they seem to make a big difference.

Please bare with me I think I may have jumped the gun due to my holiday but If anyone is truly unhappy with the machine I will exchange it for a MR05

PhotoGrid_1365613642492.jpg here is where it broke. The shaft is real thin also the bearing sticks and doesnt rotate smooth. Also the backside of the swash was jammed against the motor so it was cutting a groove in it.

Sorry to hear about that. I am pretty sure Ed will take care of you. Interesting to see how the mechanics of the machine work. Hope you keep us all posted.

Yes the engineering company drilled the shaft hole into the extrusion thats hold the bear making it extremely thin, some bearing only lasted a few minutes. I will replace all the cams for everyone if they still wish to percevere with the MR03 and the updates should sort out any problems.
