    Default looking for good galvos for Hobby usuage

    Hello,
    I am looking for a good and affordable galvo set for my hobby projector.

    I have currently installed a PT40 set but I am not very satisfied with the linearity. I got a very old EMS3080 set on loan from a friend, which has much better output but is slower. A friend of mine uses the EMS 4000 which I really like, I'm looking for something like that.
    Unfortunately I only have limited space in my case so the driver would have to be relatively small.
    Years ago i have usend CT6800 which are still amazing for me but the old driver was to big for my case so i had to sold it.

    I would be very happy if someone had something suitable to give away.

    Greetings Thomas

    Pangolin's Scannermax's Compact 506 scanners are small, reliable and have excellent performance in the 30Kpps range and up to 40Kpps if you pair them with the MachDSP. They aren't cheap, though.

    The scannermax are really very interesting but unfortunately, especially with the DSP AMP, they are not within my hobby range in terms of price.

    I would be very interested in EMS 4000 or DT40 /50 scanners.

    Maybe: DT30P (28K) from Austria:

    And EMS 6000 and EMS 8000 (From Austria)

    Or: GT50 from china:

    I have no better idea, if the Scanner max is expensive and if you don't like the PT40.
    The PT30 and PT40 are good value for money.

    Technological Artisans in New York has DT40 and DT50-BB, usually in stock.
