The Maze3 I ordered was supposedly shipped after the 6th of April, but still exhibited all of Jim's described problems (the crack in the lexan around a bolt (contersunk), the uneven join between copper and top, the milling defect in the centre ridge).
I just contacted DangerDen asking what they could do about it (considering I live in Australia, it'd be a major hassle - and expensive - to ship it back). They seem to be really nice in the way they're handling all this; I can only hope they'll be as prompt in their response to my (international) dilemma.
It's a shame a block so finely crafted in every other way and with an astounding attention to detail, exhibits these few fundamental flaws. I look forward to posting a mini-roundup (with scrupulous - or as close to scrupulous as possible - testing methodology) of a couple of junkyard heatercores vs. BIX rev1 vs. BIX rev2 when coupled with the maze3, when the summer (winter) holidays begin.
