got them on e-bay, i always got my eye out for more, so if i fond some ill post up.

So yesterday my green pointer arrived, and today my charger, 2x batteries and 2x goggles were stuffed into my mailbox! Here are some beam shots 405nm&532nme-bayLasers - Imgur one is 532nm, the sticker says 200mW but its unconfirmed. the other one is 405nm sticker says 5mW but it has to be at...

will do! I mean for 12 bucks even 100mW would be fantastic :D I'll be sure to include some beam shots as well

Yup! and I have seen them for prices varying from 10 bucks to 300, which is why I can't wait to find out how much power the ones I bought have. I'd be happy with 50-100mW, but who knows maybe it is 300mW :D

If he has glasses (for the right wavelength) I wouldn't worry, especially if hes using it outside. It would be fine to use the laser outside without goggles as long as he is responsible with it, and only points it toward the sky. Be sure to always wear goggles when using it indoors, or if there...

It's WAY over 5mW lol, I don't have an LPM but ARG Laser lives fairly close and has offered to meter my lasers :D so once my greenie gets here I'll see about getting it done and post the results. And maybe he'll let me play with his 4.4W beast while were at it ;) This laser Astronomy Adjustable...

I've gone through a few of these, but I have a few more on the way so :D. to get the front cap off I just used some pliers, if you jiggle it gently back and forth it will come off. then you should be able to carefully push the whole module out of the host. If you don't care about the host just...

^ good point, just because its advertised as 200mW doesnt mean that will be the actual output. That being said, some 5mW lasers are really closer to 50mW, so it's always good to take safety precautions regardless. lasers can cause eye injury, but its far less likely than putting an eye out with...

without safety glasses any laser over 5mW can potentially cause eye injuries. There is lots of material regarding this on the forum here are some links for you: http://laserpointerforums.com/f53/5mw-lasers-safe-79002.html http://laserpointerforums.com/f53/looking-100mw-405nm-75216.html...

^I'm fairly certain he didn't intend to be taken seriously :P lol

hahaha I was thinking the same thing, creeps me right out. :P

So I'm still not sure what driver I should use for this build. I'm looking at this one 17mm Round Linear Driver - $5.99 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce but it only goes up to 1.8amps. I also had in mind...

yeah burning is fun, but prisms mirrors and a lot of smoke is better! sometimes I set up a laser obstacle course in the hall and make my roommates navigate it to get to the bathroom. if they contact a beam I shoot them with airsoft :P I guess that's more of an experiment in human behavior than...

I'm speechless... I can't imagine the time and brainpower you put into this project. Very nice! :drool:

You don't need to "resign" just because you're lacking funds... My number one hobby is downhill skateboarding, but 4 months of the year the weather prevents me from doing it. That doesn't mean I'm going to quit skateboarding for those 4 months, I see it as an opportunity to work on my set up...

HA! This thread is awesome! I had a 90gal Cichlid tank for years, but when I moved last spring I had no way of transporting it, so a friend of mine has the whole setup now. Although lately I've been thinking about starting a tropical saltwater tank, I know it's a huge commitment so I'm still...

Perfect! I actually found an old pair of CNCd aluminum skateboard trucks that are anodized matte black, the bushing seat makes a perfect beamstop

hahaha kinda had a feeling, i guess ill have to keep an eye out for some cheap matte black anodized aluminium, probably find something at the local bike shop that will work.... or what about powder coated steel?

quick question: if i paint a piece of metal flat black with spray paint will a laser with this much power burn the paint off?

Happy New Year to all! :drunk: my new years resolution is 1920x1080 :D party on wayne!
