My wife would disagree, but then again she never did understand my Pythonesque humor...Originally Posted by danielbriggs
Understood. However... As a respected source of quality information, this site should IMHO keep it real. What if some un-suspecting and unexperienced laserist such as myself read such diatribe and did not understand the whit? "Oh, jeeze, theres my problem right there, I need to scan at 150K until them galvie-doo-dahs scream like a bitch on heat and let the majik smoke out".Now to formally address all those with not even a tickle of a sense of humour; each subsequent post was snowballing the sole notion of "nonsensical scanning" and rapidly self-derailed accordingly.
Now to my conundrum, what do I buy for my first set of scanners? My options are as follows:I have no gripes with the galvos offered; nor the price. In fact they look quite a good deal.
Thats a 60% cost differential. But, that is not all... First, I can afford the DT30's. Second, I live by the moto "the quality remains long after the cost is forgotten". So why don't I just fork out the extra for DT30's? This is my first scanner build. What if I screw the pooch? I am en Electronics Engineer, so I know what I am doing in general, but that is not to say I am perfect. I have already killed 3 DPPS modules with good intentions not to! PT-30 is good value, but will I regret getting them? Perhaps I should think in terms of total delivered project cost?
- PT-30K for AUD$234 delivered
- DT30 for approx $380 delivered
300mW DPPS Lab $150
Audiolase kit $120
USB Sound card $20
So total project cost to date with both scanners will be (excluding casing etc, all sorted as I have access to CNC, sheet metal and paint shop facilities at work):
Actually, when I look at it like this, it's much of a muchness, total cost is pretty low IMHO from what I have seen... I have not yet mentioned that my plan is to move from single colour to RGB or RGV once I move up from white belt...
- DT's $524
- PT's $670
Yep. But as others have already posted, that's typical of Chinese sales people. Expect nothing short of this. Many here reacted as if this was the first time they had experienced such mannerisms. I laugh whenever I see chinglish in action, Mr Spacelas is actually pretty good in the scheme of things.My only dig has been at what can only be described as "motivational sales tripe" from said Mr. Spacelas. I thought this was very obvious; no?
When I consider he could be doing some beginners such as myself a service in offering his services, I feel embarrassed for him to be treated in this way. As I stated earlier, move the thread and PM him! That is a moderators job. To see this thread carry on like a bunch of childish schoolboys in public is pity-full. By all means take the mickey off-line or in PM, hell CC me in too, but keep it formal in the public eye I say.
Now to quote some Chinglish that is deep to my heart:
- You be happy, you come back! I know. (seen on restaurant door in Perth)
- I love you long time (to quote Little Britain)
cc me in.Note to self: In future, email balderdash and piffle to oneself for own amusement
