I fear the worst for mine...
Sorry to hear that, bud
I fear the worst for mine...
The following is my opinion, you may not agree but hopefully it will at least give you a different point of view to keep this thread from imploding for the wrong reason
I have seen custom projects go south before but here are the relevant facts:
- this dio was complex and was machined, not hand made
- the project was completed
- there was very little delay
- the final outcome is as proposed if not better
- sadly it lacked experience in packaging, some may even say common sense but then again if not for all the youtube videos and this hobby I would have thought packages were handled with great care like little babies.
As for cost, the material cost is relatively low but went mostly into design and machine setup and because of that I believe running another batch will not be as costly
Considering the situation I think it is only fair to allow Pat to redeem himself by replacing the broken pieces and complete the project in it's entirety which IS his chance to NOT loose money and continue his pursuit in this field with his reputation intact. It be a shame (and unfair to Pat) if this chance is not granted for the wrong reasons.
:exactly::goodpost: Pat answered me in a few hours after my email. He said me he will refund me in 2 weeks. I don't have any reasons not to believe his words.
Yeah, everybody learn from his faults...so give him chance.The following is my opinion, you may not agree but hopefully it will at least give you a different point of view to keep this thread from imploding for the wrong reason

How did you hear about the case?
I don't see your name anywhere on the interest/paid list....
ok, pat has not posted on here since the 20th??? and we have if my list is correct,,, the following members with broken expensive bat dio's,,,
JEDIGUY
CHEMSPAWN
RONIN3801
CTO15
IRMOBALLEN
and i am sure there will be more, sadly,.if this was my project i would be on here everyday trying my best to fix the problem's even if it were a loss....everyday!! like i said pat has not posted since the 20th,,, 6 days ago,,,, not good,,,now for a "what if",,, lets say pat does skip town, do you guys know how much money this will be!!! thousands and thousands,,,,seeing as these to be in hand to address the break's, and then fixed, i have no idea how this will end up good,,,replacing these and then the added shipping costs will add up very quickly for pat and his partner...i really want to reamin optimistic, but i got that bad feeling in my gut fella's......i advise everybody opening a paypal case, its nothing bad, if pat does do the right thing it can easily be canceled..
19 full payments at around $620 each.......10 deposits at $200 each....and then there is the monitor.....do the math..... a heck of a lot of cabbage here!!!
according to the list, 18 have shipped... and so far 5 are damaged, jury still out on many,,,, has anybody gotten theirs intact with no problems??
