Re: Building a laser. Then giving it away. I too vote for blue. Sounds like a 1-1.2w 445nm laser to me. Lol much like the C6 in my signature I posted a build on. Nice contribution Moh!

Nice build! Love the host. Is it an old rayovac? S.e.x.y host either way. +Rep

I have to agree here. Once you buy a decent laser you tend want more lasers, or more power. It would be wise to invest in a pair of laser safety glasses/goggles. Always protect your seeing balls, you only get one pair, and it only takes one mishap to damage or lose your sight. I like to...

Nice review! You just can't beat a greenie for less than $5. Especially not one with a visual beam. +Rep.

It's no problem at all brother! I appreciate it more than you can imagine. You have been more than helpful, and I will soon return the favor. Thanks again. -Nute

Indeed it does! Thanks Gabe! Welcome aboard Nephew! -Nute

Those are some very, very good looking beam shots. You gotta love a foggy night/morning!

I know this is a little off topic, but I have a question as well. I have always wondered if my 1200 lumen light could be culluminated with a large glass lens, and then focused with G2 lens, and possibly produce a white "dot". The reason I ask is, when you see 1200 lumens at night, it is clearly...

That is a very good deed you are doing! I very well could put one of these to use on an upcoming build, but I would rather see someone else in more need than myself get this deal. +Rep for contributing to the community!

I typically use photobucket and post them using the direct link.

Nice! Maybe one day we will cross paths!

I'm currently in Mobile, AL. About how far away is that from hoover?

Welcome to LPF! What part of Alabama are you from?

Re: Shop closing inventory clearance sale!!! WOW! I am saddened to hear this! Mr. Ed, you have been more than nice to me, and I want you to know That everything you have made for me, and all the questions you have answered are greatly appreciated! Thank you so much, and enjoy your new found...

Welcome aboard! I saw a thread around here somewhere about a 405nm 1w+ laser that would light matches from long range. Use the search at the bottom of the page. I'm sure it won't be to hard to find. Again, welcome to LPF!

You lose 3v with the LM317 as its voltage drop. So, figure your required voltage plus an extra 3v. To achieve a particular mA output, you take 1.25 and divide it by your desired mA output, and that will give you the ohm of resistor you must use. For example if I want 125mA, I would take 1.25 and...

Lowe's Home improvement has Weller soldering irons for $15-$20 and will be all you will ever need for your laser building needs. I would recommend building in a Maglite personally. You will not ever have to work about over heating, and have much more room to work inside of it. Also, there is a...

Re: GB Feeler: $.13/ft silicon wire (not the junky china stuff) I would be in for 50ft of red and 50ft black 20AWG if you could get the price point to $0.16 per ft. I would never use this much EVER but for the price point I would go for it.

Thank you, I will have to buy a few.

Very nice build. Where did you purchase the copper heatsink on the driver?
