Funny story actually, that happened to me. I had my brand new 07E module delivered to my neighbors house, which unfortunately isn't uncommon for townhouses, which is the type of house I live in. They were nice enough to not shine it in my face, and return it unopened

i have a neighbor his jack of all trades, master of none last year i was outside pointing my laser NDG7475 520nm in the sky and then when i turned around i saw my neighbor shining a laser right at me hit me direct in face and i turned around not to get hit in the eye, his 43y old and he got the laser at the dollar store its red i told him its dangerous shining it at people ( the laser is tiny red ) he was like this is nothing what you have yours more high power i told him glad you don't have one of this

Accutronitis did you get your diode in :yh:

What ever your neighbor claims, I bet I've been there done that, but only better.

haha correct,am outside on the porch sometimes and i see him walking over and i run in the house, lol
sometimes is fun listening to him, i call him jack of all trades, master of none, only i use his real name this is just a sample name

Jack of all trades are useful hands, just don't expect honed expertise.

I just ordered my DTR NUBM44 6+ Watt 450nm Diode In 25mm Copper Module W/Driver 20 min ago if anybody would like to chip in on it, I'm not proud ! lol :bowdown:

Likewise, I just paid two weeks rent and the months utilities, if anyone fancies chipping in. It'll get you free entry to Yellowknife LEM whenever that happens. :crackup:

diachi, that sounds like a good deal, especially when you throw in the free entry into the Yellowknife LEM, but shouldn't it be called the "FUNLEM", (Far Up North Laser Enthusiast Meeting)?

That's a much better name, good thinking!

I'd chip in if I wasn't about to drop 40k on a downpayment on a house lol :crackup:

My DTR NUBM44 6+ Watt 450nm Diode In 25mm Copper Module has been shipped and is on it's way !

Only one prob, The alum tube I ordered made it into and out of LA and was suppose to be delivered on the 1st but still nothing ?

Check the tracking, make sure they don't show it as delivered, I have had things delivered to a street number the same as mine but on another street.

I started playing around with a beam mask to block lens flair and clean up my night time beam, ( BOTH THESE BEAMS DEADEND INTO LARGE TREES ) once I find the right tap I will make a seperate dust trap/spacial filter attachment that I can swap out for my beam expander simply by unscrewing them.

Lenses will attract smoke so it's a good idea to have an AR coated window, but if you only have 1 opening and use a dust trap you wont get any airflow and lenses stay clean much longer, I put some scotch tape over my module set screw access hole, it's not high tech but it prevents airflow, something that can allow humidity to become a hindrance as well.

I have seen some round AR coated glass windows for sale, I will buy a collection of sizes next time I find them.

My little advertised 400mw 405 I bought from o-Like years ago has a little AR window and it's waterproof, it's such a clean tight beam, a 5-10w 405nm with present beam specs would be awesome, could you imagine?

Now with a beam expander installed your primary and secondary lenses will be sealed up and protected, also your secondary flare is often soaked up in the expanders walls, however using just a G2 or 3 element alone leaves a lot to be desired with the 44's aggressive divergence, but for anything beyond desktop the 3 element works better if you are going to use just the 1 lens, and I have a dozen NUBM44's many using 3 elements in their setup with no problems, just remember to keep everything extra clean with the 44 diodes, 6 watts can burn through glass that gets contaminated with so much as finger oil.







6X CYL corrected 44 before beam masking.
