I was bored today so i was playing around with my new laser, I had a lens from an old microscope that i had years ago (no idea why i kept it) so i decided to shine my laser through it to see what it would do :whistle:
It created a focused beam! I chopped the lens module in half and filed down the edge (to fit inside the laser recess) i did this and BOOM +1 focused laser :drool:
It is incredible, it makes the dot about 3" away to smaller than a pin prick. I now can burn wood, plastic, white paper and anything that i could find lol. attached a few pics for you guys to check out!
