There are no restrictions on importing lasers into the UK
from Wiki...
United Kingdom
UK and most of Europe are now harmonized on Class 2 (<1 mW) for General presentation use laser pointers or laser pens. Anything above 1 mW is illegal for sale in the UK (import is unrestricted). Health and...
Yeah good to see you too EF!
Just sure I read ages ago that as QS was given away free it was not intended for commercial use.
Cant find anything (quickly) to back up my dribbling:D
Did I read somewhere that you can't (not legally) use QS for commercial shows? Or is this old info?
Anyway I got mine (with Livepro) and it's worth every penny.
If you are in the market for a DAC/Software package for your projector you won't go wrong with this and the resale value is very good!
It's been a while fella's, great to see the dedication that still exists here in bringing these diodes into the realm of the hobbiest.
Well done to everyone involved, you should be very proud of yourselves:)
Looking forward to getting one of these in the future perhaps.
Cheers
Going from your pictures it looks like you intend mounting you laser on a seperate platform from your galvos (not the case it will flex), if this is so its not a good idea.
You want you laser and galvos absolutely rigid and locked together ideally on the same baseplate.
Good luck.
Yeah it is fairly shallow at ~18" deep, went for a shallow design for greater light penetration.
You will understand the importance of light in a Reef;)
Also easier maintainance not having saltwater upto your neck!

Cant remember exactly, but im sure I read somewhere that its not a good idea to have the lids of these 473's because the LBO crystal is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture.
