Hey there, I heared you're the one I need to ask for the more raygun like approach.

Mhh, probably I could kludge something together with a little transmission to add a wheel on the outside of the case. Or when I really get bored I could actually build a sort of autofocus feature. using a a second laser to measure the distance and control the focus over it. We had something...

Heh yeah, I've seen it before. Pretty cool thing especially with a blue diode, but that tiny heatsink won't really have enough for my laser. However this thing just gave me an idea. Who actually said that the Diode has to be mounted at the front part of the gun. It also could be deep inside the...

Mhh I think at least for th first tests I will go with that big heatsink I found in the internet earlier and maybe add an old computer fan as extra coolant. Then I at leat can make some test shots as soon as my safety goggles arrive and care about the final designs later. I't not like I'm having...

Yeah you were right about the size of the module and I already sppent the whole day looking for something I could use. The only thing I really would trust my diode with so far was this thing. Heat sink 12mm However in measures of aesthetics it's a total catastrophy. It might look cool on a...

Hello there. Having freshly graduated the local (evil) Engineering Academy (of doom [aka Siemens]), I immediately went over to realizing every boys dream who watched way too much scifi movies when they were young, bulding a very own working ray gun. (Or at least the closest approach to that...
