Nice job. It looks awesome

well it is actually 2.91W to be exact, I am cheating a little bit by rounding it to 3W

Ever since watching AnselmoFanZero lazer glove videos on youtube I knew I had to design one of my own. And so with a bit time and hard work I ended up building one to suit my unique design. Thanks to DTR for providing the laser. I have uploaded a video of the device in action. Check it out at...

well i did end up blowing up a mannequin with one of my inventions but it looks cooler dieing with the help of a flammable substance. here is the video: Lazer Gauntlet - YouTube

I just bought one of these.. HauntedProps.com | Haunted House Props | Halloween Animatronics | Haunted House Animatronics I will make a video of it. Im thinking of possible adding some form of flammable substance on the mannequin before i fire at it or ..... maybe not

thanks

Just wondering if a 2W blue laser will be able to cut through a inflatable mannequin when shooting from a meter away?

ok interesting. I came across this video in which lazereer did a murder test for the 9mm diodes: 9mm 445nm diode Murder Test (MAX Currant POP.!!!) - YouTube it looks like the diode die at around 2.8-3A while being chilled as shown in the video. it also begins to dim at 2.43A.

well it will be driven at 2.2A. not sure how often i will use it. haven't decided on the host but it will have a good heat sink. I suppose i just wanted to know from other forums members if their diode has died at 2.2A over a short period of time.

Hi I am in the process of building my first build and I have a question about running a 9mm laser at 2.2A. According to a experiment performed by lazereer on the first thread of the 9mm lasers , he found that the lasers begin to dim out in the 2.2-2.3A region. I was intending on running my...

sounds good. where are you going to buy the driver from?

that is amazing!!!

yes i am currently driving it at 1.5A but i would like to go higher:evil: I came across these drivers what do you think? DIY 445nm 2.2A Driver & Pill Module http://lazerer.com/power-buck-2a-switching-driver-for-445nm-405nm-laser-diode...

ok so the LM317's arrived today and set everything up . Then I turned on my power supply and YES! the laser is fine. woooo!. I set the resistor to draw a current of 600mA and it was burning through cardboard. However I intead to run it at 2000mA. so i need to buy another driver! I looked at...

ok thanks for the leohadsan that makes sense.
