my 5W RRGBB projector

finally got some proper beam shots of my projector

445 - 1200mW
473 - 400mW
532 - 1500mW
642 - 1200mW
655 - 2000mW

ive been watching ur topic on PL for some time, but these selem pics just shut me up.

same effect the first 5W rgb i came in contact with had on me, nice work flec.

Flecom, where are you located? Thats one sexxy projector. Im working my way up to 5W also.
only 2.5W now, waiting on a nice kvant 642

Seriously awesome pics you guys! +1 to both of you.

flecom can u post pics of the inside of projector?
pretty :gj:

flecom, truely amazing. Fantastic job. I hope some day to build one of these. Maybe not 5W but a projector none the less. +1

I too would love to see some pics of internals. Something like your avatar

they are over on PL, and lemme tell you, those pics alone are worth registering.

FLECOM's Projector: Perpetual Work In Progress......

It is a pretty sick system for sure.. There's also a guy over on PL called "Doc" from the UK who has an extremely nice 5W whitelight that he built. My lil 1W whitelight is making me feel all insignificant now :yabbem:.. "laser envy". Working on a new dual-red for it though, so soon it'll be up to ~1.2W at aperture. Not too bad considering what she's cost me so far.

hell, if youre like me you can appreciate a thrifty, well built 1watt. all systems go ont he dual red!

and stare longingly at the ~10 in progress

big + to flecom!

the link to the PL thread has more of a worklog, but here are the internal pics

its hard to tell by the pictures but the 642 LaserWave is under the two CNI 650/660 (or whatever they are) modules

















the scanners I ended up using are the 30Kpps EyeMagic scanners with the 6.5mm beam mirrors... was losing way too much in the DT40 Wides I was going to use originally...

there are no scanners in any of those pictures, didn't have them yet... got them the day before I left for SELEM!

heres a better idea of the beam paths

thanks

I saw your projector on PL also... its amazing how red is now the most difficult color to deal with :thinking:

also I love how you wrote *only 2.5W!* I remember how proud I was of my projector earlier this year (before the 445 explosion) when it was doing over a watt of white! lol

I am also saving up my pennies for a kvant 642... even with the 2w of 650/660 or whatever and the 500mw of 642, I always feel like there is never enough red for beam shows... even though I got an amazing white on this projector with all the lasers at 100% the red on its own just lacks the "wow" punch of the 1.5W of green or the ~1.5W of blue...

I really want to get the ~2W 642nm KVant module but its going to take me a while to recover financially after all this, so probably not any time soon lol

I dont know what happened to me, but I think I lost my mind and decided to build my dream projector once the 445 diodes came out...

I had the 1.5W green for a while (in a beam table) I had the 2 1W 660 CNI's laying around from a trade I did, and I had the 550mW 642 and 400mW 473 from my previous projector (400mw 473, 300mw 532, 550mw 642)

so as soon as the 445 modules came out I could finally afford enough blue to make a huge RGB possible...

and I think a lot of people are in the same boat...

now all we need are cheap 1W 638nm diodes :drool:

Holy wow, just wow
That setup is intense, i didn't even see the other module underneath
