Very bummed. I bought a power supply off Ebay to attempt to upgrade the power of my milling machine's stepper motors. The first one I got gave me smoke and sparks shortly after I connected it to my expensive motor driver board, then quit working.
So... I notified the seller, he immediately sent me a replacement via priority mail. I did not even have to return the fried unit. While I was waiting I also had to send my driver box back to Geckodrive Motor Controls to get repaired.
Well, anyway, today the replacement power supply arrived in the mail. The box was torn, the unit was dented, and parts rattled inside it. Naturally it did nothing when I hooked it up. I opened it up and a pressure point lever thing was knocked loose and there were some broken solder joints.
At what point does the seller have the right to quit replacing the dumb things? I wonder if it was insured? It was sent at the $5.75 flat rate Priority Mail. Does that include insurance? Anyway... long day and a crummy way to end it.
