I would reach out to Formlabs (open a ticket). It would be fantastic if you could just buy a replacement galvo and install it. The real problem will come after your find a replacement. You can not calibrate the machine. Formlabs must do this. So if you are able to source a replacement you will still need to send it to FL to have it calibrated. -David ---
