Thanks for the replies!
Yeah the laser is original from purchase and Ive been careful not to get anything closer than about 4” to the aperture. Those little specks in the photo are tiny specks of dust that fell from the lens cloth during cleaning. The window is pristine other than the remaining...
Over the last two days I perhaps ran my 3.5W PLE Pro a little too hard. We were trying to cut some thicker stuff and engrave, and take some cool pictures. I kept a close eye on duty cycle and the laser never got uncomfortably hot to the touch. But I admit there were a few times where it was ran...
This happened to me as well. The unit arrived at my doorstep about 11 days after I placed the order, and the status still said "payment accepted" at that point but not 'shipped' . That was my second order from JL. Alike you, they were bad with responses on that one, but not my first one...
Hazy air empty cube with Red Green and blue lasers stitched together. Shitty attention to gap control because i tossed this one together in about 3 minutes at 2am
Here are a few more shots in a new mirror cube I made. I started working with adding light bouncers in and changing the angles of the walls. More crazy shit to come if you guys are still interested. These two featuring a 532nm 100mw.
Also tossed in a couple of glowstick only shots just for...
I liked the setups album on your flickr showing how this all gets created. I just got into infinity mirror cubes myself, but its hard to beam in them safely or without fogging mirrors. So im fascinated by your incorporations of mirrors versus glass, and refractors in open and closed...
Correct exactly. Beams not possible in a small environment, not safe in a large one anyway...
Here's one more cool shot of a neat cube lit up by a rave glove, with a single 680nm <5mw coming in to play as well.
Also... not laser related but, if you ever wondered what the inside of a reflective...
Infinity mirror box created from 12x12 tile panes, currently in use for reflective studies. Two light bouncer artifacts.
One test with 680nm >5mw. One test with 445nm 3W.
With extreme precaution I was able to get one photo of the chaos inside on the blue. Eagles on, camera ready. Eyes closed...
Those hosts are soo nice! I wonder how much machining effort is actually required to make them look so seamless. A lathe can flush a surface but you also have to consider the threadwork I think, in order to make the assembly result so flawless at the gap.
Hows the runtime?
This review is important to me because everyone here bashes BestLaserPointers for their prices. Which is valid. But in my opinion, $90 is NOT steep for an underspec gatling!
150mw 520 Sanwu Challenger 2- $220 no batteries.
50mw 520 Sanwu Gaurdian No batts - $160
200mw 532nm PLE mini $169...
Last night at the fireworks show over sundial i saw 3 other lasers coming from 2 other places over the show. Single blue beam and someone with a green and blue pair. I joined in with a green and blue from my location as well. Wondering if those other two locations are members, and curious about...
Some of the PLE Mini’s use 18350/650 some use 16340.
Just reference whichever specific type is used for the particular laser in question using JL’s website.
