Re: Custom 7 Color DIY Laser Kit And the pbs cube and dichro are already attached to the sled right?

Re: Custom 7 Color DIY Laser Kit What beam splitter will one need to purchase? Or does a splitter come with the sled? Thats the only confusing part for a beginner like me.

I'd be interested in a 150 mW pen style. Thinking about taking the module and puting it in a better host with a little more heatsinking..hehe

I just thought about this. Anyone ever take a module out of an optotronics pen and then put it into a better host with some more heatsinking abilities? I sent an email to Jack asking if we could possibly make a deal for the module alone.

What kind of heatsinking with the pensinks provide with a cni/optotronics running around or above 100mW? What kind of duty cycle would they have?

Ya after I saw that, my first thought was how it was actually very philosophical and then how to make it. Anyone wanna help me out here (with the building)?

2.0mrad sounds pretty horrific... I like a good divergence so that is the only reason I am second geussing going with custom.

How about a nice X75 by Novalasers? Do you guys think the LiB still reigns supreme?

What effects will the poor heatsinking on the opto have on the laser? Shorter duty cycle, etc.?

I'm starting to think that maybe I should just purchase an optotronics laser (100mW or 120 mW)...cheaper when it really comes down to it, IR filter, better divergence, and backed by Jack. However I have heard that these get pretty warm after some use while LikeitBrights aluminum host will allow...

Can anyone confirm the divergence of the o-like modules? Probabaly around 1.3? I'm asking just because I'm thinking maybe it would be better to get a lower power laser from a website with better divergence than the host with o-like module. I'll be using this laser for the beam, not burning...

I've read all around the forum whether it is necessary to have an IR filter on these modules but I never really found a definite answer. I'm thinkin its better just to use one, this laser is more for beam rather than burning so the decrease in about 30 mW doesnt matter.

So I am stuck in another pickle... between two amazing hosts: Jayrob's DIY Green Build Kits and LikeitBright's Sink&host combos for green laser modules (o-like). Jayrob: http://laserpointerforums.com/f39/fs-diy-green-kit-host-heatsink-easy-assembly-22520.html LikeitBright...

In my opinion, a 20 mW BR is not that worth it. However if anyone is looking for a simple pointer with a neat color I geuss its a pretty good buy. Not so sure about the price though....
