Just to let all of you guys know, these things are worth the wait! I don't know the exact output power of mine, but it is a serious burner once you adjust the focus!

I'm loving this thing... Right now I'm trying to find/make a good cap for the aperture to prevent dust from getting in there. Currently, I'm just using a piece of scotch tape over the front end, but I want a better solution ;D

well then I am not worried!

Mine still has it :(

color a black spot on your hand then try again

From what i've heard, the line is due to the fact that the actual diode itself emits a rectangular beam, and without extremely precise and expensive optics this line appears when trying to convert that rectangle into a dot.

holy S***!! These things are AMAZING burners. I was messing with the focus and got the focal point at about 1 ft from the aperture (the dot was about the size of the tip of a pin) anything, as long as it isnt white, goes up in smoke instantly. Needless to say at about 5 feet the dot is the size...

Thanks, I'll give that a try. Right now it seems to be adjusted for far away pointing. This thing has a hell of a small divergence! I just have to find something that will fit in the notches to adjust it. By the way, I got the trit vials too... THANKS!

My laser came! It looks great, but there is a vertical line through my dot :( Any ideas?

saweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!! by the way, what was the average output?

Ahh I can't wait!

Boo for DOA lasers... That is not acceptable, especially after what happened before. At least the ones that did work were up to spec!

I wish someone would send me an RPL to keep ;)

Gah! I keep checking this thread like every 10 minutes to see if they shipped!!! A part of me is just waiting to see what goes wrong next... ;D ;D

How's the rest of the testing going?
