New to the forum,but, not new to electronics and all things 'tech'. Any good sources for my first 445 or 405nm laser project? Anyone have a trusted source of diodes and driver boards to recommed? So much on Ebay, but, whom to trust?? I try to avoid Ebay. I've worked with gas lasers decades ago but I'm interested in low voltage projects these days. Also, what heat sinks do you recommend? Gotta keep the diode cool, I know. I could build my own out of Alum. As I have a lathe and mill at my disposal. Let me know what your thoughts are. I thank you for your assistance.
