Hi,
I am new to this forum.
I am from Germany and I am 19 years old. I am quite new to lasers, after I saw someone pointing in the sky with a green laser pen when I was in Prague, I wanted to own one myself. After I bought a cheap 5mW pen from Ebay, I decided to buy a more powerful one.
I searched the internet for cheap but higher quality lasers, but I did not manage find this forum first. Because I read much about problems with the customs when ordering a high powered Laser from China or the USA, I built a 658nm 200mW laser myself with parts I bought from insaneware.de (because they are shipping from Germany). I did not use a host, so it does not look very nice, but it works :D , here are some pictures:

The laser was quite fun, I was able to lit the fireworks at New Year's Eve, it was stormy, the lighter did not work well ;)

I bought a "burning 1mW laserpointer" :crackup: from ebay (it actually burns quite well, so it has more than 1mW, you can see the beam in a lit room, the warning label says 1mW class IIIb laser product :crackup: ) Maybe the laser has 50-100mW, the SD.laser303 host is used.

Now I wanted to get a even more powerful laser, I first wanted to buy a S3 Arctic from Wickedlasers, but then I luckily found this forum and read about Wickedlasers... I bought one of Blords 1W 445nm 501B lasers (thanks to Blord :D ) it arrived today when I was not at home, I can pick it up at the post office tomorrow.

Of course I already own savety glasses for my 658nm laser, cheap 532nm glasses and I will buy Eagle Pair glasses for Blords build (or are there any cheaper AND good ones (exept for these Uvex glasses, they do not ship to Germany) for 405nm, 445nm and 532nm?)

I am very interested in experiments dealing with powerful lasers (not just burning stuff).

I want to build my own 405nm laser later, this time, I want a "nice" one, withe a "real" host ;)

best regards
Gabriel
