thats way out there man :^) how on earth will u achieve going out there Ive was playing with the concave part just to generate a line and was scanning my room. Small bonus from those things, ive been dreaming about doing that for a while. its pretty awesome

Nice, those are pretty cool. You may want to move the measurement lines a bit to the left lol. Oh well If u wanna, a classic 532nm dpss would be very accurate no matter what, could be used as a baseline, oh what am I saying.. I just got some cylindrical lenses for beam correction and its...

nice, Oh! and that would create the other desired beam! I pulled apart the bluray player and managed only a small chip from the mirror, the pictures are from that piece I also literally just noticed your how to build a pen, this morning I was searching for items, 5 low cost diodes on the way...

Oh cool

ohhh that would be a cost effective way. I saw one on amazon for $5 that is. Do u wonder if tinker will use those on his idea

this is getting ridiculous lol

woah the dimmer is really cool, its got to be the best thing you could put on a high power laser. $300?!?! No thanks. Besides, Id rather build my own even if I reach that 300$ to do it, mine would be cooler anyways, aside from the dimmer. I also dont want my laser to look like a spaceship

This gave me an idea, Using the dichroic mirror to create a lower intensity beam you could have some other actual mirrors with two beam ports, one being the less intense beam and the other the high power beam controlled by a beam stop. I suppose this would be the easiest conclusion with the...

Yo! I just got a dvd player and a bluray for 4$! Im gona take em apart do u have any tips to get the glass optics out from their glued in spot without damaging them *well nvm for now i guess, I damaged them fairly Woah I found that mirror u were talking about, one side is well chipped, its...

I liked what blackholesun was going on about. Then I read other dudes comment and all my good feelings went away. I dont understand the culture going on

did you make an account just to make fun of someone *looks like you enjoy lasers too

I saw an old laser from a thread of people showing them off that had some nice switching like that, and a good looking frame around them like a steampunk look, they were really small tho sleek looking. It was on the same spot for both buttons no tail button or switch thing. Youre the second...

I have decided on sharp 488 diodes. Right off the bat, can anyone point me towards good drivers for this one. If it matters, I do want to make it more powerful than 55mw if possible. Maybe one of the members sells them, im gona look around the site for people. Ill edit if I find what Im looking for

nice, thats a good size

Im having a lot of trouble finding buttons, all I see are rotarys, plastic switches and stuff like that. Do u know a place where I could find a 3 position one. Im not sure Id even otherwise use the little buttons I already have from Q-line host.

Dude, awesome = 0 = D By chance do you know the power limit based on the mW and how black they get, I assume that the lightest filters would be able to handle the most. Going into a plateau of practicality, when would the ND filter begin to get damaged. Like if u had a 500mw laser put up on...

Just found some rotary switches that sounds way cool

ohhhhhh. Thats a pretty good idea. Ive no idea where Id find a button with that nor have I searched for it. I was sent 2 spare buttons for my ebay 488 because it was a bit of a dodgy button which Ive since solved; melted button, I shaved the plastic. Thanks I think Id not been brave enough to...

I was considering it should be a little longer, I traced most of the Q-line laser I got then drew more on top of that. The more room I need would be for the corrective lens'(s) plus culmination then seperate ND filter attachment. I started thinking after I saw tinker asking about the thread size...
