Something I whipped up tonight, and is in NO way pretty. heh.
I'm getting good at cutting 4" circles in glass now as well.
The motor is a modified RC servo but i'm not happy with it. I can't get it slow enough without it stalling. The glass I picked isn't great either. It's not textured enough. The wheel has two layers, with another static disc held in front of the lasers.
Doing this also showed me just how crappy my camera is. The 650nm shows up pink regardless of camera settings, even though it's a deep red in person, and the 405nm didn't show up at all even though it's easily visible to the eye.
The lasers are 30mW 473nm, 280mW 650nm, and I think the green is 25mW but i'll have to test it again to make sure. There's 50mW of 405nm in there too but like I said, it doesn't even show up.
Anyway, here's the 'thing'.
And the video. I play with the speed in the middle of it.
