Whats the cheapest possible way to build either a green OR red(not both) xy scanner? Can it be done for under 100?


Also how do i combine two lasers. I want to combine a green and red laser(cant afford a blue at this time :'(). What do i need for that? Is it cheap?

I can build a cheap red / green / red+green+yellow scanner if anyone wants one.

Making a single colour scanner yourself is not that hard but combining them properly requires a dichro, a specially coloured piece of glass that reflects green and passes red laser light. A dichro plus a mount can cost as little as $70 from mliptack's optics GB, or his site.


Also nikokapo PLEASE for the love of god remove those fricken gifs from your signature!!! They are HUGE and make a page with one of your posts take AAAAGES to load!!!

It obviously annoys you enough to comment on it.

And then the same again to import it... That's where they make money. I contacted China post and gave them the package dimensions that CDS gave me and they quoted less than half of the CDS shipping cost.
