$40! :thinking: im sure it can go for more than that.
and this is in no way unreliable, it will work for a good few years, depending on how it is treated. it was built for myself to use personally, but i changed my mind halfway so i will sell it with the bluray laser in the twin host

p.s: i spent about $100 on this thing

I know you spent that much on it. But the fact is, it's not too valuable in end-user value and it isn't made by any particularly reliable builder.

For instance - I could build a with the same specs for $30. Also - the nick really kicks it down :\

Why sell your first build, anyway? It's a treasure to be kept always :D

Too bad you are planning to leave the laser hobby. Maybe building powerful flash-light is next. It is somewhat related to lasers. :)

um i dont know if your referring to the fact that wolfman is leaving or if im leaving, i am leaving becuase i am worried about my eyes, even if i had certified goggles i wouldnt be protected 24/7, and flashlights are also a bit dangerous, im moving onto the hobby of metal casting, ordered a mini butane torch of ebay, should get me started

Metal casting would be more scary to me than lasers, I've had a piece of metal stuck in my eye once. It was like 1mm from my vision, and guy who removed it scarred my eye. :(

well i dont mean like proper casting, just buying a bullion mould, and grabbing some sterling silverware and melting it and making bullions. just seems a little bit safer to me than lasers, if you get hit in the eye with a laser, you will be hard pushed to get perfect vision again, however, even if you get burned with a torch, the injury is healable.

also, that is why you should always wear safety glasses, still dont know how you managed to get metal into your eye

Me neither man, haha. Yeah, what you said seems really safe though. Sad to see you go though, as you were one of the people who helped me initially when I came to the forums, :)

lol thanks man, i will surely miss the hobby. and no worries about helping you, i once needed (a lot) of help when i came, and not many people were willing, so i didnt want to turn out like that. and what i am planning on doing isnt 100% safe, i mean if you pour into a cold mould, the metal will explode everywhere, so it is kinda dangerous, still havnt found a proper torch that is cheap, all the once i found are like $100+. if anyone can find me a MAPP tank for cheap (bernzomite?) then i would be very happy

lol first post, im alternating between a standard aixiz and a 3 element, there is no visible difference between the two, however, there probably is one in power output
