Are you involved with MakerSlideEurope?
I am, but Harry has and ships the MakerSlide, carriages, wheels, eccentric spacers and a few other bits. I haven't figured out how to set up the store so that either he or I can reply to emails, so I'm not aware when someone has tried to contact Harry and he hasn't responded.
As for @stonycraft's assessment, I think it's unfair. He contacted me and more or less asked me to design a pantograph for him, dangling the promise of buying an eShapeOko kit later; I told him I didn't have time to do that (and it would be something I'd have to test to be sure), but I ended up doing it anyway. I gave him some pointers, and then a couple of sketches and a list of materials to order. He was happy (in fact, posted here right away asking for "laser-cut marine plywood" for that machine), but then he wanted to collect the parts instead of having them shipped, and emailed Harry. I know Harry saw his message because he mentioned it to me, but after that I don't know what happened. Although he got free advice from me, we're now "chocolate teapots", apparently.
