Hey People, Like so many others I was turned over by Richard Sum also. I have been told I won;t get a printer now due to me putting poor review video up on youtube and it costing him money! So here is my next review after he promised to send me printer if i agreed to remove (I fell for it and got stitched up again!) The more you comment on the page and the more views it gets the higher it goes up the search rankings. The higher it goes the more we can recent others getting fleeced. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMznKwPQj7M |

The machine itself is reasonable, but not working due to numerous missing parts.
I was the first to receive the original SumPod, it too was missing parts and instructions. After several months of getting no where but remaining positive about this new startup I started publishing my experience to my blog SumPod Guinea Pig, ideasfixer.blogspot.com, and in received plentiful 'fan' mail from Richard Sum.
In short, avoid Richard Sum, and his delusions, your life will be better for it.

I expected my MEGA printer for over a year I received only some parts and it was always missing parts
I think the video on youtube is the only way to react Richard
I just threaten to upload a video on youtube and he answers me immediately
he asked me to call him to explain the reason of the delay
"Hi,
you can call so I can explain the situation. No need for the many emails.
Thanks"

Am I a fool?.
Sumpod seems to think that most orders complete.
Just how many are missing stuff..out of how many machines?
Is it a deliberate policy or is he just too disorganised? .
.
I recieved my order ( placed begininging of june 2013 ) mid september 2013.
Just for reference order no. 1132..
After the first 4 weeks I did worry that I had been done..esp after research and tales of others experience. ..I received every time I asked ( weekly) reassurance that "this week "...would be the week...
.
I would be intrested to know the ratio of orders to delivery satisfaction. .
..

sumpod ltd died because of lawsuits.... he has created a new company "SUMPOD COMMERCIAL"
customers who have requested a refund obviously did not have a choice but to put him to court
this guy is a scammer
Have you ever seen the video of the machines currently printing ?
the only machine you can see is the mdf the aluminium
the only machine that can see in this video is the MDF version 1 of aluminum on a sumpod video, no video of the mega or aluminum v2
these machines do not exist he invented with our money

I don't think it died because of lawsuits as there are none as far as I can see on here.
I have been told it has been split into two due to selling part of the company. This is what the site says also.
If he was to change due to problems and he wanted to start afresh I am sure the name would have changed too.

Richard John Scum is still a scammer and I think will always be.
DO NOT BUY FROM SUMPOD.COM
YOU WILL LOSE MONEY
IF YOU WANT TO LOSE MONEY SEND IT TO SOMEONE WHO NEEDS IT AND NOT THIS PIECE OF SCUM
Be safe.

First round sumpod owner here. (from the indigogo campaign in 2011(?)
Good you guys made this forum, I remember how we (the users back then) were already struggling with incomplete deliveries, deleted post and threats.
We helped ourselves with website dumps, sending each other parts (thanks to you guys, you know who you are) and tried to get everything working.
We even started alternative forums, but some were afraid because Richard knew our real data. There were some real live threads involved to someone who posted their story on the reprap forums.
It had some phone contact with Richard back then and quickly realized he is really easy to upset. (Check out the toilet story for reference)
My understanding was that while the product itself had many good aspects, Richards inability to take criticism or even new ideas makes it a disappointing experience for everyone involved.
Found here to finally fix my machine by buying an extruder from china (should be the easiest).
Lots of reading to catch up now.
Thanks for this forum!

I bought a Merlin hot end for my mdf sumpod, needed to make up an adapter to mount it but not hard. Very happy with the hot end.
