Title: Carbon DSA on Aliexpress
Post by: Targa-TV on Thu, 06 April 2017, 10:34:18
Browsing for a couple of replacements and found it.

I knew it was a matter of time before it came to Aliex from Taobao and it seems like the prices are unchanged. You can even buy the whole set for 200.

Yes somewhere there was a message that they had a limited amount.
If you really want to buy it just keep browsing. When goods are bought quickly other stores are quick to imitate.

There were 2 posts on r/mk about this set, apparently it was decent looking/quality but not great. Also I think it was really expensive if you got all the kits.

Thanks, I forgot to check reddit.
Of course the quality is what it is. Although the reverse dyesub is an interesting technique (and difficult to obtain as far as I've read), I think it's a very poor mistake not to center the legends properly like in the pics posted here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=88591.0).
