    These are only $13.26 from Heartland but shipping is $112 to the UK - makes it uneconomic.
    If anyone in the UK has one I'm interested.
    Thanks!

    Hi, got all excited when I saw the notification - been thinking about taking the grinder to my standard one.
    The CF-30 part doesn't fit that well.
    I'm going to be really disappointed if you're just asking because you're tidying up the buy'n'sell forum... :(
    Yes, still looking...

    Blair,
    If you don't have this, I have it with the fingerprint reader.
    I will only sell both parts as a set.
    I will ship to UK.

    Hi Shawn,
    thanks for the kind offer but I have the reader so if getting or sending the part is any kind of inconvenience to Blair I'll just dig the grinder out of storage and attack the standard 31 part.
    I never used to be this anal about a 1/2-millimetre gap.
    Anyone else find they have to moisten their finger to make it work every time?

    Yes if your finger is to dry it never works for me. Same thing on my cellphone... Google Pixel XL

    Off topic but my 6S Plus doesn’t like water :biglaugh:
    My Red Magic scanner works with water.... sometimes
    The scanner would have to slightly moist possibly because on Toughbooks might need to be in a more humid area for it.
