It definitly burns, even when not very focused. Once I get back to school I will see if I can run a couple on a CNC lathe. Right now I'm using a Hardinge HLV-H... I might make another one this summer, stainless steel I'm leaning towards. I wish I had a lathe with live tooling... I can do most...

No name haha. I will primarily use it outside for pointing at night, thats the most fun I think.

Tested :)

No... I'm really bad at loosing the lasers I make... It has a 3 layer glass lens

Me of course :)

The first photo is as it is now. Pressed in a 11.95mm hole

Finally finishing up my laser :) I just need to decide if I want to make a metal switch or use a rubber boot. M140 diode, driven at 1.5A by a benboost driver. Right now it has a brushed finish, but I think I might polish it up again.

WOW! Those anodizing jobs are beutiful. I have never seen any of those hosts before, but now I know I definitely want to anodize mine. I won't mess with the ones I have made, but I will on some new ones. I need to get some anodizing materials again... all of mine are 800 miles away at my home.

It is boosting the voltage so I assume that means that the driver is doing something. I will look into Oshstencils. Depending on how long their shipping is I might just try making my own on a lasercam. I can post pictures like you asked to show how the rest looks and see if there are any...

It's the llp3x3 Thats unfortunate if that is the case, that's my last one in that package. I left it at the lab, I'll foe back later tonight or tomorrow. Low resistance means it's the lm3410?

I should be making a bunch more soon with some pretty awesome patterns. My work just got a 4 axis cnc mill :) I'm leaning towards some long spiral patters down the length while keeping the slots that parallel with the long length of the body.

My input power source is a 18650 cell at 4.1v I'm driving an M140 Diode. I reflowed it myself. I did a much better job this time than the one I posted here a year ago. I used a metcal hct2-120 hot air reflow station.

I am having an odd problem, the driver works, however it outputs 300ma nomatter what value sense resistor I use. Has anyone ever herad of this before or seen this?

Made a new one today

14300 cell. Thanks. I hope to maybe eventually make nicer ones
