(19 - 25%)(Also some EU countries do not follow yet all common EU rules and some countries (EU states) have different maximum value for totally free import. )Add VAT. (item + delivery)Example:Item price 120 Eur (becouse this case no Duty then calculate only VAT)Delivery 25 Eur-------------------Total 145 EurIf VAT 25%:145 x 0,25 = 36,25 (VAT) (this you pay to customs office or how your country have arrange this and in many case some small fee for customs clearing exept if you do it yourself)total with VAT: 181,25 Eur

The actual power switch on the PCB is KDC-A11. Everything inside looks in great shape but I cannot verify functionality as I am not going to take the time to fix it. (Insurance bought us a new oneWilling to take some pictures if there are any interested parties.Please keep in mind this type of equipment is not a toy to just repair for the fun of it or try to fix and sell if you don't know what you are doing.I will be sold as is and you will be responsible for your own safety.Thanks.

It would have cost us 1.5k US dollars to have the company who made it repair it. Instead I took it apart and figured out the problem and contacted the company who made the DC to DC converter and fixed it for a measely $550.What are you asking for it?

This will be my first time at the event, and I'm really looking forward to it!For those of you who have attended in the past:What were some of your favorite or most valuable classes/sessions?Are there any “must-attend” hands-on labs or workshops?Do they offer any tours of their facilities, like their Fab or other internal operations?Any tips on how to make the most out of the event (networking, after-hours events, etc.)?I’d love to hear any stories, suggestions, or even things you wish you’d known before attending. Appreciate any info you can share!Thanks in advance!

While there was (is?) a strong marketing aspect to it, I found their approach of teaching engineers how to create things using their products and tools to be valuable and enjoyable.I attended as many sessions as I could that were hands-on or focused on technologies of interest to me and my future projects.I did go on the fab tour, I highly recommend going if they still do that.Engage in as many events as you can. I learned I will never play craps with real money. Talk to people at meals. Take a swimsuit.

The Website has no Impressum.2. When you want to attend, the add to cart link sends you directly to paypal.3. The icann lookup seems to point to a Server in Hongkong.4. No venue is listed.Do you have encountered those fakes before?Or is it just a bad website design?I really suspect its a scam.

content: They are a thing, but not for scamming registrations, that I've ever seen. The fakes I've run across are sort of the conference equivalent to a paper mill... ie a fake conference that charges you a fee to list your paper/presentation as "published" at the event that never actually happens.Academic conferences are quite often a bit disorganized and run by a committee of distracted professors with other duties... and this is the first run of this one, so probably learning as they go a bit, too. That's what this seems like to me. It looks like they cobbled together their own software for the website and cfp and likely haven't signed the final contract with the venue, and typically you're told that you aren't allowed to even mention the name of the space until the contract is signed.

content: I have to buy a couple of odd parts to re-stock my design kits and cast my eye down the Farnell price break table. Now, I'm not sure I'll ever need a thousand 24.9 and 49.9 ohm resistors, but for $9 how can you go wrong? So, I had a thought - can we organise some sort of common parts bulk order collective? The obvious answer is a resounding "hell no!" due to geographic issues and despite the large numbers of parts involved, poor economies of scale. However, it might work on a local scale if postage isn't required to share things around. Is there anyone in Adelaide/Canberra who wants to go halves on some reels of common parts, such as 0603 100nF capacitors?

I recall a biometric security tool that identified people from their pulse, but over three years the demo (and presumably the detail) never changed.Plenty of other stuff, and there's bound to be something that tickles ones fancy and leads to a lengthy chat with the scientists involved. The workshop is worth keeping an eye out for, and usually has a demo running (a BFO CNC mill pushing a tiny 2mm bit around when we were there, and bins filled to the brim with exotic metal waste).

While there hasn't been a Maker Faire in the UK since 2018, they may return in the future.I hope this helps you find some local events and groups to attend!

For example, a country may require a cash bond to be lodged with the government which is the equivalent to the value of the entire prize pool on offer. There are many other examples where compliance just becomes far too hard, requiring a legal team to lead the way. (Keysight has dealt with this challenge - and they have gone above and beyond in previous competitions.)In short, it is the legislation of various countries that causes this issue.
