    Who wants a variable power laser?

    I'd be very interested. I have been wanting to make one with an outside adjustment. My wish list is Outside Variable Adjustment or Hi Lo Switch Pulse (Varrable Freq would be awesome) Modular design with connectors to plug wires in (swap driver or diode easily) Would you use these with...

    Woohoo! Virtual Reality will soon be ours!

    Haha, that's awesome. I remember that coming out and the same thing. Those were the days... I remember Wolfenstein 3D too, the first! Thinking about all these old games reminds me of computer games in the early 90's like Monkey Island, King's Quest, and Quesrt for Glory.... 256 colors...

    Woohoo! Virtual Reality will soon be ours!

    Woohoo!!! Virtual Reality Will soon be ours... :drool: I thought from the video it was fake news at first, but Google has created a VR head mounted display out of.... wait for it..... cardboard! Better get a smartphone if u don't have one yet, cause that's all you need besides the cutout...

    FS: 2 Custom Laser Hosts. CHECK THEM OUT!

    The black really looks awesome, I'd get one now but I ordered the "worn" black one already from ya. Need something different probably. Will prob be a predone one though I think... Side clicky are the best.

    Do you need to wear eye protection at all times

    :eek: I would also stress the necessity of glasses indoors. Depending on the strength I might play with them for a bit but not for very long at all and not with anything that even gets close to a "bright" dot. That is vague and unspecific but basically no more than common pens for a short...

    Radiant X4: A LPM for the masses at Illumination Supply!

    All that totally makes sense. It is certainly better for those that are willing to pay double for those improvements. I just want to measure my lasers and get an accurate reading. If I build a crazy ass 4W+ laser in the future I will just figure out what it is approx by splitting the beam...

    Radiant X4: A LPM for the masses at Illumination Supply!

    They are looking to charge $150-$200 now up from $99.95 in exchange for that you will save 10 seconds per reading and also be able to read up to 5W vs 3.7. Neither of which the "masses" and those on a budget need. An LPM is usually a luxury, for a quarter of a grand out the door I think I'll...

    Re: 638nm War of the Worlds Laser & Fire! Fire! Fire! (beavis and butthead voice) Sure am! Unfortunately will be putting in a lot more hours here and will have less time for tinkering, Will still get my RDA of lasing though. Can't go without that. :D

    638nm War of the Worlds Laser & Fire! Fire! Fire! (beavis and butthead voice)

    An Oclaro 700mW in me backyard. :eg: The dot is that bad, but the color is great with an aerosol can! No actual fire, just looks like it. The first pics with the Ultrapod II tripod remind me of War of the Worlds! I am loving this used Mastech Variable PSU. With the tripod it is...

    First Build S4 with 2 Heatsinks up front and modified driver heatsink

    That's interesting. Good to know! I just added the pictures into the post BTW, figure many might miss them otherwise!

    First Build S4 with 2 Heatsinks up front and modified driver heatsink

    Wow, 90% silver and 10% copper! That sounds like the jackpot. On ebay someone is selling a 10 coin mix before that time for 9.95 inc shipping. Might be a good option! Just did some searching and this is what I've found. Specific Heat: Metals - Specific Heats Copper 0.39 Silver...

    Selfishness, lol! I knew it was you and your son, didn't know who was who. Thanks for clarifying Ed. Hope you get bitter. ;) hope caught and got my little joke there! edit: Seriously though, must be tough. I fear the day when my mother passes and having physical issues is no fun...

    X-boost not changing output much with turning pot

    Thank you so much everyone... learned a lot here. I tried again with a new driver and taking all your suggestions into account it worked. The adj pot worked fine. The max I got was 1.4A, but I'm thinking that has more to do with the batteries (thanks Jayrob) I used the good ones but I don't...

    First Build S4 with 2 Heatsinks up front and modified driver heatsink

    Quick Specs: 9mm 445 w/ 3 element lens, 1.8 A X-boost Adjustable and more heatsinking than most S4's (can change driver output with screwdriver if front of host is removed.) Will be switching out diode, putting a 16x 405 in it soon. Pics Attached! ** EDIT Just inserted some for those too...
