Hi all,
Name's Joe, been using these forums for research for quite some time now. I figure it's time to sign up and start having some fun building lasers.
One day I see an add for "world's most powerful laser" browsed around a fancy website for a while and watched lines of balloons in cups of water get popped in rapid succession and was hooked. Like anyone with common sense I researched this laser before i decided to drop 300 bucks on one. It didn't take long for me to come to the decision to buy a blue 1 watt spartan and a pair of glasses. I've had it for 6 months now and it hasn't quenched my thirst for holding a beam of light in my hand. I want more.. more colors, more power, more scantily clad images of Jessica Alba. I mean honestly, who doesn't?
By now, I've read through a lot of your custom builds, and i'm fairly confident that i can handle putting my own together. DTR, I came across your 2W SAIK SA-305 build... *Sploosh* that thing looks like pure photon sex. I love this host and have decided to make it my first DIY build. Flashlight on order from DX and a heatsink ordered from Eudaimonium. Tomorrow after i get my paycheck i'll be stopping by DTR's store and purchasing a new 405nm with microboost and G-2 lens. I'm not looking to go insanely powerful I just want a nice violet beam. Which i should easily be able to do. After that maybe Jayrob's DIY Green laser kit. We'll see, but i plan on having fun here.
