LOL

He did say he had no money and would not be able to afford a DTR module until next month so.... explains why Jordan has not responded---probably has not heard from Accu-Highness yet. Seee post #85 and #107

Who knows? Maybe he got sick of trolling the forum with nonsense or found easier prey.

I think he started that other thread as a new member from Las Vegas, or perhaps someone else did as a joke, I donno.

I've heard theres that annoying bell that goes off every few hours to pray to mecca or whatever. I think it would be cool to see Giza and stuff but only for a day or so, after that I think that bell would get annoying. I went to Munich, Germany a few months ago and it was amazing. I highly recommend going there if you're into castle's, art, sausage, schnitzel, huhn, and beer.

In Turkey it was a full on call to prayer over super throwback high treble speaker systems. The sound still haunts me...

Hey Ailen Laser, what kind of watch do you wear? Do you own any Accutrons?

lol no i have a Citizen Independent 14810101 blue i also have a brand new one in box green since 1990s

Maybe Accuntronitis is not replying because his doctor diagnosed him with the disease called accutronitis, the rupturing of the tibia bone and the tympanic membrane at the same time.

Got my bar stock in the mailbox yesterday and thought I would get a quick mid build pic this morning before I set my cylindrical pair, my wall is painted white but the fresh NUBM44 from DTR left it's mark anyway, looks like I wasn't quick enough.

p.s. Gotta love the 44, but bring on that new 88 anyway

Man... you gotta get yourself a Beam Stop...
or at least a sheet of Satin Black Anodized
Aluminum to hang on your wall before you
burn the house down....

Yea it's right there on my table, LOL.

Very impressive, promises to be a really great build. Looking forward to the finish unvale, thanks for the mid-build update!

Hey Red, you sure that's not made out of cardboard?

:crackup:

Grey styrofoam, toxic to burn!

Actually I am hoping it's a special clay I can use to clean optic, I have some sitting outside in the rain to see if it will soften up, it doubles as part of the Redcowboy laser shootin range.

Saw that... I thought that was something you chewed
on when thing are not going to plan...

Shout out to DTR, Thanks for another great diode. :beer:
The NUBM44 is a workhorse diode that lasts and lasts and is my favorite, all it needs it that gargantuan divergence corrected a little bit, then add a sanwu 3X BE and you will have a lot of fun, the moisture in wet green leaves explodes and fizzles with such rewarding sounds, and dry leaves across the yard release their fire and smoke that holds them together....yes leaves are really made out of ashes, its just the smoke and fire that's holding the ashes together.

Please remember SAFETY FIRST, always protect your eyes and know your backstop, a moments laps in safety can cause a lifetime of disability, don't let it happen.

OK so even a simpleton as myself with not much tools can get some fun out of these amazing diodes, here's how.
Next will be adding a sanwu 3X, everyone should get one, they are fantastic.
Also the top cover plate and the front cover plate that the 3X BE will mount to, run out can be adjusted with set screws in the corners if you need to, but covering your optics is important, dust, smoke basically every contaminant will become a problem in time..... but not if you cover your optics and seal the output with a sanwu BE. YES the fantastic BE adds protection as well, it really is a win win.

LOL laserbee, as Al Bundy's father once said: There's rarely a mix up that a sander cant fix up.

EDIT : I said perpendicular, I meant parallel, your diode should be focused to a horizontal line centered at a distant point, then center your lenses as you set them, I use UV glue and set the lenses with a couple little steel files while it's running of course, then I use a 365nm FL and 405nm laser to cure the UV glue.

very nice setup op:
