Galvo build: Magnets?

[Occularis]

Oooooh, those were the ones i was originally looking for, unfortunately they seem to be impossible to get a hold of in Sweden (or I'm just unlucky). I'm sure I'll make a few more attempts at making galvos in the future tho, so I'd love to be able to buy some of those when the time comes, if there's still a way to get more that is

I think you can find them on ebay.

Here you can buy them, but watch out for the price..... a full 1.35 dollar!

They also have different sizes and plenty of other handy magnets. Link

Or take a look at this nice magnet. Would be fun to ship around the world..

Note: This magnet is in my "Body Part Crushing" category. Yes, that means what it says - if you get your fingers caught between 2 of these they can get crushed and it will definitely hurt. Of course you can get some pain relief by quickly holding one of the poles on the injured area. Anyone buying more than one of these should certainly get a wooden wedge to help separate these in case of an accident.

Last time I bought some ND magnets, the package arrived in a Royal Mail 'apology' bag , with a big hole in the package, and half the contents missing - no doubt stuck to the inside of a mail-sorting machine somewhere...

Got mine from here : http://e-magnetsuk.com/magnet_produc...ymium_magnets/

Must be nice to live in the UK, here you would never see the damaged package and would be sent to Gitmo for messing up the mail sorting machine...

Due to a severe lack of coffee, I have to ask...
-When bonding neo magnets to a galvo rotor shaft, are all the magnets supposed to repell eachother, or attract? -Or 50/50?

Looking at that pic (http://elm-chan.org/works/vlp/magnet.png) just confuses me...

Hi,

If you want more information of building your own DIY galvos then Norm Defayette is the guy to email. He used to build and sell them a while back and I'm sure he still has stock ND magnets still lying around. You can contact him via his website " http://www.ctrnd.com/NormLaserShow/LatestNews.htm "

Good luck
