Hello, I'm considering making my own laser host with a few exchangeable head units. I wanted to make my own laser holder and lens focusing system. The lens that comes on the casio projector that these 445nm diodes are found in, how good is this compared to the 445/405 coated glass lenses for the axis modules? I was considering just taking one of the casio ones and machining the focusing head around it, given the lens is decent.
I was also considering making a 2nd head unit ( screws on and simply connects to the body where the battery is, contains driver+laser+optics ) to combine 2 lasers into one. Seeing the fact I have CNC uce to my disposal if needed, It wouldnt be hard making the lasers in line and having perfect 45-angle mirrors/optics to bounce off of. Does an optic exist to combine 2 incoming angles and spit it out 1 way, like a T? Whats your thoughts on this head unit in a whole, worth a shot or not worth the time?
Final question: Whats the dimensions of a Flex-Drive? Assuming this is still one of the good ones to use ( its been > 1-2 years since I've done lasers ). I'm not looking to buy one due to cash issues but having dimensions is all I need.
