A IIIB laser is anything over 4.95mW, so unfortunately simply meeting the requirements of class IIIB doesn't guarantee any real power output.

Looks sexy! nicely done.. Can't bloody stand oakie though..

Usually all that's done is the cmount is screwed flat to a heatsink through the center hole, with the front left open, unattached to anything, so that you can access the screw. The beam leaves the middle of the tiny fiber lens. No sandwiching required :).

Laser printer lasers are usually low-powered invisible IR in the upper 700nm range. Not really worth messing with as the outcome will be far less than spectacular.

See the 2 dabs of clear epoxy on each side of the top of the cmount? They are holding the FAC lens in place. All a FAC lens is is a small length of singlemode optical fiber placed horizontally across the face of the diode, perpendicular to the output beam. The circular cross-section of the fiber...

Many thanks for the kudos guys!

^Thanks DZ! Coming from a seasoned show guru such as yourself that means a lot..

Just wanted to share some pics and vids from our show last weekend. It was off the hook.. The lineup included The Crystal Method, Figure, Claude von Stroke and Dara. We recently acquired a pair of 7 ft. 24-position beam tables and a full set of 30 bounce mirrors, including diffraction mirrors...

We've got a few machine shops around here, and we have raw metal stock suppliers too. Any medium to large city should have plenty of options for machine work.

We've come a long way haven't we KGB? You and I started getting into this at almost the exact same time IIRC.. Got our hands on a few new goodies here.. a pair of giant beam tables (one of which is featured heavily in the vids below), a full set of bounce mirrors (standard 1st surface...

Unfortunately no, the signals from the sound card itself are not suffient to drive galvo amps. The output capacitors on the sound card must be bypassed and the signal must be boosted.

I'd help ya out but I got a show here that night, using all of mine..

Wow.. um. Gonna have to get back to you on that one. Kind of a lot there....... P.S. Is this thread breaking the forum? It's taking forever to load..

^Well... see that's what you get for thinking. That shit'll always get you in trouble lol.. unless of course you mean mad like "crazy, insane, batshit nuts".. then you're probably right ;)

bronies deserve to be hatefully and mercilessly trolled. IMO. Like I said.. PC is bullshit.

Lol.. Laserdelic IMO the items listed for sale on your site need to be a bit past the prototype stage before you sell them. A couple laser pointers with the buttons held down with wire along with a small China laser inside a case with the cut-off remnants of a power cord stll stuck to it is most...

PC = politically correct... sheesh Jerry... lol! It's a term for smoothing the truth over, or bending it, (or just outright lying) in the interest of not hurting anyone's feelings/pissing them off/etc... PC is a diversion from reality, nothing more.

PC is bullshit. That is all.

Sorry for the delayed response, Bionic is right the FX is AM2. Added to OP.

I try lol.. right now it's broken actually, the USB port was destroyed when too much pressure was placed on it. I'll be fixing it before long though.. been having withdrawals.
