If you buy plp520b1 from dtr you can get it with nano driver and it’ll be set to 470. Use a 2E 520 lens. With G2 it makes some yucky diode reflections.

Nice new pens, Rich!! I love em!! SGD🍻

These 2 and 3 Element lenses have a spacer in them and they cast a nasty reflection... I’ve taken them out of 2 of my 3E lenses. It helps. But, if you take out the spacer you must be very careful when replacing rear lens and barrel nut NOT TO TIGHTEN IT MUCH. The convex lens portion will...

Nice thread!! I like these simple hosts and they polish up well. Nice prices, too!! You’re practically selling these at cost. They should go fast. SGD🍻

Rich, I ordered one of these so-called Sharp “GH04C01A2G” 450nm diodes off of Techhood. Not sure how legit it is as I didn’t see it on Sharp’s listing. Maybe I didn’t look at the ri......anyway, I’m thinking up host ideas. I’ll let ya know when that journey starts. SGD🍻

Nice build, indeed!! As mentioned before don’t wanna shoot from the hip on your driver current. You’ll save yourself much grief. That’s a sweet host, too; Rich makes awesome stuff!! Be safe and enjoy!! SGD🍻

Welcome to this irresistible illness🤣 I’ve not been on the forums very long. And I’ve built 15 now 🤦‍♂️. Everyone on here is awesome and incredibly knowledgeable!! Enjoy and be safe. SGD🍻

Alrighty, Rich! And the rest of you😁 I’ve built a few lasers...one a few months ago and two pens over the last week. All of the build hosts I’ll post here are from Rich. The white pen is Powder coated. I touched it up with some white enamel to conceal the minor faraday caged corners. The...

Those are incredible!! Nice work! SGD🍻

Your Oclaro is a great diode. The wavelength is marvelous. The divergence is wacky because it’s just the end-use design of these red MM diodes. I have another on hand in need of a driver and host. Don’t push it further than 1A if you can help it. My first build was with this...

That looks maybe like one of Survival Lasers’ fixed drivers.

I live in the land of all things Japanese. If you want some hand crafted cutlery I can arrange it. But like Red said, they are not cheap. But, Japanese 100% SGD🍻

I’m glad I saw this!! I attempted to order one of the 532nm USB pens. Upon trying to check out, the function didn’t seem to work. I know a number of people here have ordered successfully... Hope you get it resolved. SGD🍻

Interesting build and terrific work as usual, Rich!! Hope you had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I haven’t been playing with lasers much in the last several weeks, other than an EDC here and there. Been working odd hours and on the road a bunch. I’ve got a couple xwosee sepic...

Mr. Tung. Perhaps share what ICs you’re using w/ Paul. Might be able to help you iron these drivers out into good units. Good luck. SGD🍻

Yes😁

That’s a sexy little host, Rich!! Won few diodes on Techhood which may need hosts soon🤪 SGD🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

Yeah, they do have quite a small footprint for what they do, don’t they... I’m anxious to see how the TungLaser drivers turn out. If there are any little quarks maybe he can divulge to you in confidence his choice of controllers to aid in smoothing out noise or inefficiencies in design🤷‍♂️ SGD🍻🍻

Paul, I know you’re retired n all. But, I still think you should be makin’ drivers 😁 I’d even help you with the leg work. 2¢ SGD🍻

Mr. Tung. You should throw a few of your drivers Paul’s way. Or to anyone willing to analyze them. We can always use more drivers. I’m surprised we don’t have more already, with all the sharp electricians on LPF. I can barely use Webench🤣 SGD🍻
