i looked at it and it looks similar to a supply in a pc, but a little bigger.  without seeing additional specs, i'm not sure i would touch it myself.  could have increased noise & other undesirable issues. does not appear to have any heat sinks, easy fry with extended use.  i think it would be $20 out the window.  i think i would at least get an mfj, they have a 25 amp for less than $100.


just my thoughts.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I was recently looking at 3-D printers and came across the Folger Tech website (www.folgertech.com).

I don't know much about them or their product line other than it seems to be fairly inexpensive and in kit form  (Clearly, to major pluses for the ham radio community.)  What also got my attention was the 12 volt 30 amp power supply that they were selling for their printers.  Again, I can't speak to its quality, either of construction or power output.  But at $19.99 for a 360 watt power supply, it seemed that it might have ham radio related applications. (I am considering using one as a dedicated supply for my 2m digipeater, if I ever put it back on-line.)

Does anyone have any experience with Folger Tech or any other thoughts?
