Hey did you end up trying the 1.1watt 405nm diode yet? Is it working any better? If you ever end up using an FAP laser, I'd be super curious to hear how it goes. My biggest worry is just the potential fire hazard. Do you (or LaserMicroscope) know if there are any issues with repetitive bending...

Thanks for the reading assignment LM! There were some good gems in there. I was reading it on my phone initially and didn't realize how long I'd be scrolling for! Love it. Here are some bullet point replies (in no particular order): Yes, my current laser does have a 7w optical output from a...
