Laser diodes!!!!!!!

EDIT: Do we really need a sticky saying "Don't put glue all over (and under) diodes."?  :-?

Maybe.  I've read more than once about how someone who doesn't trust their soldering skills using some sort of glue on the pins to help "secure" the solder.

Well, in that case, we should also have a sticky saying "If you don't know how to solder, don't sell lasers."....

I was thinking more on the lines of...
 
"Under no circumstances should you heat up Cyanoacrylate and/or Silicone glue
and inhale the fumes... Has been know to cause blindness"

Or something along those lines....

I've been in the Industrial Electronics Reasearch & Development field for over 30 years...
and I have seen some strange unsafe electronic builds from the self proclaimed "experts" out
there trying to make a fast buck...

I guess... we just need to be more careful from where our laser stuff comes from...
I'm sure the builder did not use that glue maliciously... just stupidly without experience...

Problem is.. It was transparent! By the time i realized what's going on, it was already too late.. I nearly choked on it!

Yea, i know it was not malice, but ignorance, but i stand by my oppinion, that people, who don't know how to solder two wires to a driver, should NOT be selling lasers....

Problem is, for some reason, the victims don't want to expose these sellers, who tell them "you should be more careful, i will repair it for $70", after the laser breaks, just cos the buyer turns the lens, and everything inside turns with it (causing unsoldered wires stuck through holes in the driver to interrupt, killing the diode)....

And then the same "builder" can do the same thing to someone else. And that's what bothers me even more than the toxic fumes...


To the OP: Sorry for the unintentional threadjack. But i think i solved your problem in your other thread. I have a Dilda body i don't need as well as a truckload of diodes identical to the one in Dilda, and with a proper driver it will be better than what you'd get from DX (= it won't rely on fortune cookies for the driver's feedback voltage / altho surprisingly enough the fortune cookie approach actually works in 50% of all cases)..

And I thought it was self love that caused blindness  :

That causes hair to grow on the palms of your hands. (That's what my Momma told me)

Then.... I should be completely blind and my palms should be braided... : :

And like IgorT said.... sorry for the Thread Jack...

IMHO... IgorT made you one heck of an offer...

I think Wesdaman14 hacked Laserbee's account ;D

;D

Not unless Wesdaman also developed a sense of humor and watches Ali-G.
