My RGV is Alive! - Laser Pointer Forums

FireMyLaser · 02-09-2010, 03:23 PM

So, Aluminium enclosure, White Fusion kit and Full Colour Driver... Awesome!

Pics:

I temporary added a pen eraser on a pin to the dichro, this made it so much easier when aligning the beams.

I don't have a battery yet, but after allot of effort my dummy battery fits!

The fan only cools the green laser to maintain stability.

I need to get some more beam shots...

daguin · 02-09-2010, 03:36 PM

BRAVO!

I have no real idea when I'm going to be able work on mine

Peace,
dave

roosl · 02-09-2010, 03:36 PM

Very... Nice!

ossumguywill · 02-09-2010, 04:02 PM

Nice!

ZRTMWA · 02-09-2010, 04:37 PM

SO. FREAKIN. AWESOME.

Such a great build thank you so much for the video! Nice use of all of those switches/ other electronics! I finally get to see the rainbow trail/ jewel fountain with lasers!!!

Care to post any more specs, maybe diodes/ module, currents, lenses, enclosure size, battery size?

Makes me want a WF + FML driver even more!!!

Edit: What's the big hole on the side for, input cool air for the fan?

I have a couple of tiny 25x25x10mm fans I guess I could use for a possible build.

HeNe + Argon RGX?

jayrob · 02-09-2010, 05:32 PM

That's down right awesome...

That video is smoking hot too!

FireMyLaser · 02-09-2010, 07:04 PM

Thank you everyone!

That applauding guy is scary lol.

I have a couple of tiny 25x25x10mm fans I guess I could use for a possible build.

LCC red diode @ 391mA max (GGW), PHR blu @ 125mA max, 80-100mW olike module @ 560mA max. The hole is the air intake, yes.

The red lens is the reading lens from the phr sled, the blu is the 405-G-1 from Jayrob

Enclosure: 120 x 66 x 39mm (WAY TO SMALL TO WORK WITH). Battery: 55 x 31 x 22mm.

Very nice build.

I wish I can build something like that but, last time I tried building anything I almost burned my house down lol.

eugene420 · 02-09-2010, 10:42 PM

WOw man what an impressive display of color!!! Awesome show man... DO you do this for a living cause that pretty sweet.

billg519 · 02-09-2010, 11:05 PM

This is excellent work inside and out! Really nice high quality case brings the whole thing together. I like the photo with the diffraction grating. Yes, you need to take more beam shots!

zaery · 02-09-2010, 11:41 PM

I LOVED seeing the mechanically(Lego?) spinning diffraction gratings, it was effing mesmerizing!

yobresal · 02-10-2010, 12:55 AM

WoW. I never wanted to build one of these kits until I just watched this video. That thing looks amazing.

ZRTMWA · 02-10-2010, 02:16 AM

So waht exactly is that big glass looking thing around the green heatsink, an extra diamond heatsink xD?

Or is it to keep the WF green heatsink from touching the aluminum case, keeping everything electrically isolated?

jayrob · 02-10-2010, 04:07 AM

Or it might be a shroud for the fan. To help collect the air movement...

mdjd07 · 02-10-2010, 04:30 PM

Dude that is so awesome! +1 for you bro

Flaminpyro · 02-10-2010, 04:40 PM

Very cool

+1 for you dude ! I'm working on mine right now

120mW green, 8X blu-ray, Red LPC-815

Both. The idea is that the air movement should be contained and away from the optics. It sort of works but now I have thought up an allot better way of protecting the optics from dust and cr@p. I'll post pictures when its done, I am waiting on a 6x sled to replace the phr diode.

mdjd07 · 02-10-2010, 07:34 PM

what is that host?

sightfx · 02-10-2010, 11:52 PM

Great Video!

Now everyone is going to want one. I'm going on vacation. See ya

This.

You don't want to use that though, its way to small and those slots are a pain to remove.

ZRTMWA · 02-12-2010, 02:59 AM

I think the clear plastic version of this enclosure is what jayrob, MISTERWILLING, and Sightfx used, same size even. Why did you have to remove the slots?

FireMyLaser · 02-12-2010, 04:20 AM

For the regulators mostly, but also to gain some extra space in general.
