I have been poking around forum threads, and currently it seems, that the best bang for the buck is 120$ or so Blue laser pointers, as Blue diodes pushing 1W are cheap(due to some projectors using them?)
It was my original idea. However, after seeing some videos of these 1W lasers (even actual 700mW or so), I think I will give it a pass for now.
Want a burning laser but want to start small.
I trawled through the links, and it seems most of the older "favorite" sites to buy cheap lasers are going downhill
I am a bit worried about buying 30$ laser from Aliexpress.
25$,30$,35$,40$ burning "200mW" red lasers all look the same from various sellers.
So I am wondering if I want something under 35$ including shipping for a red burning laser, am I being too optimistic? I think 150mW+ actual output should be good.
Can you guide me to a good laser?
