My new RGB!!

Thought I might share a bit about my new RGB

It uses my own version of FireMyLaser's full color driver. I heat-sinked the LM338's though so they can run at up to 5 amps without worry. I love all the effects that this thing has!

There will be fans attached to each heat sink. I just wanted to test it all without having the fans screwed on as it is quite time consuming to attach/remove them.

Now I just need to make some adjustable mounts for my optics. I originally had a clever way of mounting each laser so they could be adjusted, but I didn't have the right springs on hand, so I gave up on that idea for the moment.

Besides the mounts, all that is needed is to make it all pretty when I mount the circuit and clean up the wires















:thanks:

Are those mirros glued to q-tips? LOL
Anyways, congrats on a nice RGB setup.
Do you have any galvos to go with that?

Looking very nice there....thats an undertaking and I think your on the right track there!
The Q-tips work...I'm a ghetto builder myself, use what you have around for now....or sit there and stare at your build until the "right" part gets in.
Have Fun!

Exactly!

And unfortunately I do not have any galvos at the moment.

Nice Build!

what dichros are you going to use to combine the beams, and what galvo's have you chosen?

Thanks! I am just using the optics out of the PHR sled. Just like the white fusion kit. I might upgrade to nicer ones later. As of now, I don't have plans to buy a galvo set (I'm a little short on money). For now I am content with my own version of FML's driver and some spinning mirrors
