Ok, so as the Gento group buy thread is over a year old now, and there's probably quite a few members joined since then, what are the options today for affordable scanfail?
Is anyone retailing Gento's device (Mccarrott?)?
What is the Guido's device dave mentioned in an earlier thread?
Again, i think the keyword here is affordable and yet easy to setup/maintain ;)
cheers
We have been using the scan fail sold on mylaserpage.de.. Very no frills device, that does what it needs to.
Medialas sells a simple analogue card too
Thanks Dave, how do you find those boards in practise? Can you still use targetted beams with them, or will it blank the lasers? Any other info you could impart?
Dave, I can't seem to find the scanfail unit on medialas website. And being a US fellow, trying to understand mylaserpage.de to order the scanfail is a bit of a trick. I mean... I can add it to my cart, but thats about as far as I can get with out being able to read German.
Anybody have any other suggestions?
translate the page using google translate for example?

That works great til you get to the shop. The shop for some reason cant be translated.
Hi,
if you are interested in the Safetys just send me an E-Mail to gj@mylaserpage.de
This Time the Page is only in German Language....so just contact me by Mail. No Problem.
One Problem are the Shipping-Costs...nearly the same Price as one Safety itself :-(
About the Safety:
- 5V DC Powersupply, < 150mA
- 4 Optocoupled Modulation in/outs
- Feedback Input max +/- 10V DC
- Response Time <20ms
- One Zone, invertable by Jumper, full Width, Height is adjustable by adj. Resistor
- Interlock-Inputs for Keyswitch, ILDA-Interlock, Emergency-Stop
- Jumper to disable Safety for Laseradjustment
Other Problem is the bad exchange Rate from US$ to Euro. This Time 1 Euro is about 1.38 so the
Safety 89 Euro = 122$ If there is someone else interested and you buy >= 25 pcs. the Price will be
90$ e.a.
You're using the wrong shipping company if its costing 90 euros to ship 1 circuit board from Germany to the rest of the world.Quote:

I have still one of the gento's boards lying around, never got around building it in, don't know if i ever will.
If anyones is interested shoot me a pm.
Norty,
shipping with insurance is 55 Euro by DHL for Standart-Shipping.
It is only the half without insurance but i never use this way...
Exactly.Quote:

A circuit board at a few grams should only be a fraction of that.
Try looking at Deutsche Post (who use DHL for international deliveries anyway). Using their online calculator I could send up to 2kg and 0.5m square for 9 euros from Germany to UK. I'm sure insurance wouldn't be 45 euros for £80 worth of product. Personally I'd say it was hardly worth insuring, most offer £50/50E insurance standard anyway.Quote:

Within the EU GLS is pretty cheap too:Quote:

Yeah the shop can't be translated by Google translator but you can see the translation changes in the content of that shop website...Quote:
