Success! I installed the diode into the printer's housing and rough adjusted the spot and getting near-perfect prints! Just have to tweak the lens just a tad bit more and we're back in business! Thank you for the info and suggestions!🍻

I am not killing anything. The range is about 25-30 feet and I've tried using a green spot, but the pest birds just stare at it, probably thinking it's food. Trapping is ineffective because all the neighbors around me have bird feeders and my traps go ignored. As I originally posted, the...

Understood. I will just order it and see if it works in my application. Thank you. :)

Thank you for the link. I did reach out to them and will likely just give it a try. I'm just curious if my diode (unknown specs) is presumably rated at 250mw, and I replace it with the 900mw rated one and it is operated at 250mw, will it net the same output? So, in other words, does a 250mw...

Hello all. I'm working on a 3D printer that requires a replacement 405nm 250mw diode. I have the diode out and the number on it are 5DJK 0050 0574 (google turns up nothing). The business end is 2.54mm diameter 2mm long tip to flange, 3.8mm around flange and 3.2mm overall end to end, 3 pin...
