    laser engravers

    Thank you for the input, currently have a 3d printer and flashed it with marlin so somewhat familiar with the os. Still debating on what my next build will be. Current printer is a bit too small to add an engraver I think. Torn between another printer or a cnc mill. From my understanding a 3d...

    laser engravers

    Tried looking around to see if anyone is using their lasers with a cad chassis. Built a laser a couple years back from info found here, but haven't really done much with it. But with a practical application that doesn't risk getting me in trouble looking to dig back into it.

    I really like this laser body.

    Have been looking for a host like this but maybe have been looking in the wrong places. Anyone know if I can find a host like this anywhere? Thought about buying this laser and gutting it to use as a host. Can get it delivered for under $20

    Do you need to wear eye protection at all times

    My 190w laser stays locked up in my gunsafe for a reason. Playing around with an old set of transition lense eye glasses. It is scary to see a pair of glasses that take a minute in the sun to change instantly.

    WARNING- See if you will ever buy an Ultrafire after seeing this.....

    Was contemplating getting some of these batteries to start off with. But my better judgment told me to stay away from cheap batteries from china now I see why lol. Even though 16340's don't have this same problem will definitely go elsewhere for quality.

    First attempt am I doing this right?

    Yea that's what I figured with the test load. But used to seeing circuit boards shielded. Good to know it isn't as critical as with the diode.

    First attempt am I doing this right?

    I agree it is all different in its on ways, but love electrical work. Honestly have been doing a lot of reading, but it never really clicks until I get my hands on things. What size drivers are you working with that it heats up? Was under the impression that under 1A it isn't bad. Most I...

    First attempt am I doing this right?

    Got my load tester and driver today. Tester was in an antistatic bag which I was impressed with. Surprise the Aixiz driver was not. *Edit Got my load tester put together and looking pretty.

    First attempt am I doing this right?

    Yea it would be kind of handy to know if those lenses would work. Possibly something I could use as a spare or have handy if I am showing someone else. Thanks for the heads up on the forum being quiet. As long as there is no probless with it plan on turning this thead into a running log of my...
