벌크 가격으로 구매시

Anyone who takes the QEG Manual and sits down at google will quickly learn that the specific parts are not the easiest to find and sometimes know just what is needed. Also the fact will quickly be learned that the parts are MUCH cheaper when purchased in bulk. As this is open source and interest is rapidly growing, there will be many people who will want to make one themselves or in their communities and this will be a quick lesson when first taking on the project.

Anyways, a lot of the work, myself and many others have undertaken in sourcing the parts is already done and conveniently put together in an excel sheet with links, costs, shipping info, etc. It is by far complete but is a great starting point especially to see some costs involved with the project. It can be found here and on the QEG Files Page. Anyone who updates with research and suppliers they have found, please, please email me a copy so I have an updated copy and can incorporate all that everyone finds to help us all out.

Bulk Purchasing Power

The beautiful thing about buying in bulk is the obvious savings. Here is an area a where some planning and working together can net a serious decrease in price of the individual parts. I will use an example of pricing for the QEG End Plates through EMCO Industrial Plastics, Inc. Each generator needs 2 end plates which are made of fiberglass reinforce epoxy laminate (G10/FR4). The cost for 2 from EMCO come in at $165.75/piece for a cost of $331.50 per QEG. If you purchase above 25 the cost drops to $106.75/piece for a cost of $213.50 per QEG which is reducing the cost of the QEG by over $100 overall! The price savings bottom out at 100+ pieces at $88.90/piece for a cost of $177.80 per QEG. Ultimately saving $153.70 PER QEG when the parts are purchased in bulk. Anyone interested in potentially purchasing these parts with me to get the savings, please email me.

One part that has been very difficult in sourcing is the film capacitors that are required. There have been a few sources that I found that have had some and then not.
