I pondered for many weeks weather to build one from scratch or just take the easy road and buy the Space-Las unit. Finally, I was sold on getting the Space-Las unit after noticing Ebay's %100 guarantee. So I took the plunge and purchased the 1.5 watt RGB system.
Well, wouldn't you know, YOU DO GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR PLUS MAJOR AGGRAVATION!!! DHL brought the tattered boxed unit to my door and on examination saw some good size gouges on the flight case. I took the unit out and just to keep the story short here, opened the top lid and saw the power supply to the Red and Green lasers was not bolted down causing battered marks on surrounding components and on the chassis inside the unit. After plugging it in and turning it on, the only thing that ran was the cooling fans. The LCD display was blank and everything else seemed dead. So here we go and trust me when I tell you I've gone back and forth many times in sending emails with these people and their logic astounds me. They insist that it's DHL s' fault and I'm to get compensation from DHL. The kind lady at DHL said that they were only obligated to pay $100US since Space-Las ship it with no insurance placing only a $200 value for the contents and we both concurred that Space-Las simply took the cheapest way out. It was shipped in a generic flight-case and then single boxed with no packing, which to me is absolutely ludicrous to be shipping something so fragile and sensitive such a long way. You might get away with this for simple scanners and small DPSS Lasers but not for something at this magnitude.
Presently I'm in a Ebay dispute with them as their solution is the send the unit back at my cost of almost $700 and receive a %70 refund.
I've been an Ebay member for a long time and they always done good by me. I'll be glad to post a follow up as soon as this issue is resolved. Dennis..
You should start your own thread for this in the seller review section, as here it will be lost amongst this junk above.
