Thanks to the OP for the follow-up, I found it interesting.

Thanks, we did that ULS & Goldenlaser!... and our newest Chinese one is sitting at the wharves in Brisbane awaiting clearance and quarantine inspection- hopefully I'll be able to collect it midweek. 2 tubes, 180w & 100w, 2500 x 1300 bed, CW6200 chiller etc. Custom order from January- took a while with the Chinese new year interrupting thngs, and then testing it out after making it.
I did want 'Easyservos' - the Leadshine closed loop steppers, and they did fit them, but found the interia of the gantry too much for them to handle with the extra rapid movements on a machine that big, so they changed it back to the steppers. The Easyservos are coming out with it anyway,(I asked for them, and paid for them) along with a spare w6 tube for the Goldenlaser, and a spare W1 tube and power supply- I'm going to look at converting a spare unused & slightly dead ULS V460 to Chinese later on.
Best wishes,
Ian
