This might come off as a dumb question but I wanted to open it up for discussion nevertheless. I've wanted to get more into custom builds and the hands-on electronics side of this hobby for a while. My "excuse" that I've only realized consciously recently is always that I don't have the proper...

I posted a thread recently about viewing lasers through the apple vision pro and LSRFAQ/Steve had a great reply about viewing lasers through cameras in general, might as well share here Post in thread 'Apple Vision Pro = Ultimate Safety Goggles?'...

Laser beams, visible only because of the light bouncing off of particles in the air, are often only subtly visible especially at wavelengths further from 555nm and powers closer to 5mw. Good chance the VR camera will not be low-light-capable enough to pick up the beam how your eyes would, and...

Farbe, gorgeous build not that I’m surprised. Thanks for publishing your progress

🥱 Give it a rest. Did you never get put in time-out as a kid, even though you thought you were right? Hint: you’re well past the point of anyone caring if you’re right or wrong, and well into the zone where it’s more about your pushy attitude and childish need to be the loudest in the room. If I...

pho tons 😵‍💫

Good luck!

Before someone else says it, I can’t afford it either. But does this make sense? You now have a device that shows what’s in front of you, but it’s on a digital display in front of your eyes. In reality, your eyes are separated from the scene by a wall of components inside the headset. Enter a...

Your work is great. I dig the unique housing design of your builds. It really makes these lasers look like the fun gadgety things that they are. They also won't roll away which is a plus. All the details like charging lights and ports make me want to get into building so I can make something...

Happy New Year!!! 2024 laser rainbow (405 + 485 + 561 + 573 = 2024):

I think you should have a look at this 300mw 635nm laser from Sanwu. https://www.sanwulasers.com/product/challengerii • Reputable seller • Single-mode diode means you'll have the sharp, round beam profile you like about 532nm DPSS, but with direct-diode tech that won't be as...

Thanks for posting. Got lost scrolling through all of these

Merry Christmas, all! Colorful and coherent is the best we could wish for

Thank you @loreadarkshade and @RedCowboy for your generosity, I can't believe I let this slip under the radar! I'm excited to add this to my JLasers collection along with my 1.15W 405nm C3. Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and all that jazz

Sounds great! And nice, there is a surprising number of laser enthusiasts, photographers, and builders here I’ve noticed.
