Theres been a GB set up for these, but it doesnt look to be going anywhere. As such, if anyone is willing to sell off one of their own, it'd be great. I'm not sure of anyone will want to sell since its a rare colour, but if so then the price i'd be willing to pay would be based on the power, and...

Re: Arctic: Spyder III: Review thats ironic, WL have already annoyed loads of people with it :p disapointed with the power levels people have been getting. you'd think they'd have done more than just stuck a diode in a host with a typical lense.

Re: 1 WATT 445nm Copper Heatsink Laser For Sale!!! you should also take into account that 1A=/=1watt. It can be occasionaly, but unless you metred it, its more likely around 900mW.

burning is overated lol. the idea that your laser can burn stuff is cool, but not too impressive when it comes to it in reality lol. beam visibility is always good, but atm i'd really like just a nice coloured pointer. I might lend it to my physics lecturer, he always uses a dodgy 1mW red lol...

Well 445nm is blue, easily visible in daylight at the power levels used with them, burns very well. However, it'll take around 200$ to build one, and I wouldnt try ordering one from a site atm since they're so back ordered etc. You can build one quite easily, all you need is a soldering iron, a...

I think the true terminology is to try and reasure that they're upto spec in terms of output.

dunno about that. They have already bulk buyed from CNI, reducing prices. the additional price increase they add to that for increased profit is probably mostly negated by the group buy discounts. They are trying to clear stuff not many are buying after all.

That all seems very reasonable, and sorry about your mum. At the same time it's not practical for people to constantly act as if something like this has happened. Neither should they have reacted how they did. I believe a medium is better reached. When you say you finally have what people have...

guess people dont like orange/yellow any more :(

my tips are completely oxidised lol, tried to get new tips but the hardware store here sucks. look em up if you want, its homebase. Cant get a firepit for camping, cant get soldering tips... the list goes on of things you cant get that are even slightly specialised and uncommon.

thought I should mention, removed the back of the aixiz module a few days ago and it looks great now, can get it so focus ring barely sticks out at all at infinity. Also with everything snug inside the heatsink no longer moves around, gives a firmer focus. Got beam shots on video after some...

Yeah beam always looks a little purple to me. Maybe im just quite sensitive to 405 and im seeing the more violet "component" of the wavelength, not that it has an actual component.

no doubt when pressed they will have meant µW :crackup:

the o-like module is fine but most just go for aixiz modules. you can get one with a 445 lense (better beam specs than 405 lense but a little less power, also cheaper) from jayrob when you're ordering your kit. I like the SS host version personally lol. you will also need allen keys to set the...

probably will need a focus lense for most of this. It'll burn wood focused to infinity (taking it as being equivalent to my 445 build) if you dont mind it taking a few seconds, but burning wont be too impressive without focus. The main things that havent been mentioned are heatsinking. How fast...

Great, i've been looking into orange pointers. I know 593.5 isnt orange exactly, but being the more orange type of yellow it'd be great to get a cheap deal. you can put me down effectively for either depending on the order numbers we get. if we get 20+ i'll go with the more powerful one.

yeah I can see its a good deal. an 800mW hercules for 2k is a great deal too but not everyone could afford it even then. just saying that while I appreciate the value I still need to treat it as an expensive buy and get what I can out of it :D Theres some people, if I recall, running these close...

hmm i'd be interested if you stuck it upto 420mA perhaps, should be fine for these diodes. dont suppose theres a custom focus ring for it?

thats an expensive wall. i hope its bomb proof at least :D i must also give a failquote from aforementioned site: not even applicable within the handheld visible wavelength category lol

or you could try running a 445 diode at 10A and see what happens. you might set a new record for a few seconds :D
