I am a bit amazed about the specs listed in the bottom of the linked page :) (4) Output power: 1mW (High Power) If it is truly a 1mW laser you will not be able to burn anything! Also it is obvious that the pictures of the laser lighting a match is a different laser. The focus ring is not...

Thx, feel free to use anything you see in my posts. I am making as much as possible myself as well just for the fun of it :-)

Lovely project +1 :-) Regarding your mirrormounts try and have a look at the ones in my sig. They are very sturdy and adjustable on 3 angles with springs to keep it in place. If you have to make minor adjustments along the way then this is easy achieved. Post more pictures as the project...

The Keyswitch does not have a ROL.. (Row Of Light - I presume). I think that the button with light is similar to this one: Black Colour Metal Switch Latching Push On Button with Blue Led | eBay EDIT: As a powerbutton this one makes me drool...

Yes you will need a 12mm module for the laserdiode. You can use a standard Aixiz module or similar 12mm version. You will also need a driver.

Ahh I see. I am a little embarrased now hehe :beer:

I have soldered all the modules I use myself in both pointers and my scanner, and until now I have never fried a diode while soldering leads. I probably solder the leads in 1-1½ seconds so no need to be too scared about it, just use common sense. Small clean tip, line up the pretinned lead and...

Why not go for a lm317 voltage regulator with a pot to adjust the current instead? All you then need is a decent heatsink to eat the excess heat from the voltage that is not used. With the current pot you can then regulate the intensity of the laser. Using a pot to "eat" voltage is not a pretty...

Where did you hear this? O-Like has a very good and functional customer support. Often they send new items before they even get the defects returned. You can always contact them and sort things out. Susy is very helpfull and always tries to satisfy the customers, and you can contact her right...

once i got my battery fully charged from Larry, it didn't seem to happen for a while which made me think it was the old UltraFire battery! I've been using the laser a lot lately without recharging, i'm hoping the charge has gone down & it just needs a good charge! :yabbem: So what you are...

I have a few green pointers and they behave like this: Fully charged batts - working 100% when the power of the batts gets lower it will dim and modehop when there is too little power left it wont give out light at all. Since its working as it should on fully charged batts I think your laser...

Could you maybe post some pictures of your assembly? What type is the other laser you are using your batteries with? It could be that your batteries are underspec or something like that compared to the reqs of the driver. Did you try with new fully charged batteries? And which batteries do you...

I am not sure how efficient that driver is so you would have to check with Lazerer. Mohgasms driver for instance puts out ~1W at 1.25A. If this is similar then I would go for 1200mA :beer:

For 2W you will need a beefy heatsink. And you get plenty of burning power from 1W and the laser diode will last a lot longer since it wont be pushed to the limit. So for starters I think you should go for 1W and then upgrade a long the way if you feel that 1W is to little :beer: In Euds page...

Bad advice! DO NOT RUN THIS OR THE OTHER DIODE AT 2W. With that heatsink you will end up frying it!
