I'm not a hobbyist but I like to build things myself.
It's not only good for tools and brain training but also cool.
But.....
You are wrong about the price guys. It's not 550.
It's about $1550
Thats including the good galvos with ILDA. Good dichroic filter and mount. And you need only one!. And the aluminum case. I doesn't include the labor of putting it together but it includes cutting and machining the case. Add another $50 for a good round number.
Eliezer sorry buy people are right. This forum is good for parts but not so good for already made systems.
I hired an Italian guy to do my wires. Now they look like spaghetti!
