Thanks Lase:beer:....it is hard to see them go, but my focus is on other projects. So far no bites, but I would think someone may be interested in them.

:bumpit::bumpit::bumpit: Still for sale! Pm me or post here if interested.

Thanks.... Those 12x BR's are even more expensive than the 445nm's. I'v only blew one other 445 and a couple of open can 660's but usually all my projects just miraculously work(I guess my electronics mojo is off today. I just trashed my 40W FAP I think trying to plug in a fiber to...

Okay double post as an apology to MadEye.....I did read what you've been saying but I guess I didn't completely get my head around it. I just ran down to the store and got the +5VDC Voltage Regulator 1amp(lucky seemed to be the last they had). I plugged it into where I had the LM317 and got a...

Thanks for the link....Your right it does seem to make much more sense to just use the 5V regulator. I'll get down to the store tomorrow and try to find just the 5V regulator.

AAAhh...sorry I misunderstood. I thought that the LM317 would work without the resistor but I guess I was thinking of the 5V regulator. My head is starting to swim :D unfortunately the diode is dead....I un-hooked it from the driver and powered it up with my adjustable PSU and got no more...

When I put the DMM on the LM317 I get 11.95V when I touch both DMM points to it and I get 240mV when I put the positive on the LM317 and the negative to the negative lead. The pot i'm using is a 5k-Ohm linear-taper potentiometer....the cap is 100uF electrolytic capacitor.

So thanks for the picture of your set-up MadEye...I did exactly what you did except for the small caps...hooked it up to a 12v supply and am getting Very strange readings. First time I tried it myself I got nothing, then I did it just like yours and it 'seems' to work...kind of..... I get Zero...

Re: My holiday project - DIY Laser Cutter High tech computer drawings! WOW!!!:D This project has come pretty far from some angle aluminum on your kitchen floor.

@ Cyparagon: I think I may have set it incorrectly from the beginning. I did try to set it per the instructions before hooking up my diode, but don't think I did it right. @ MadEye...thanks for the photo. My cap may be in backwards....i didn't think there was a difference. I also did have the -...

Re: FS: 6x blu-ray Coleman MAX Build That's a great little host! One of my favorites for sure. Good luck with your sale:beer:

Okay so I went down to radio shack and picked up some things I was missing. I tried to make the controller but now seem to have some problems. I couldn't find a 50k pot so i'm using a 5k(the only other I have is 100K). I hooked up the mod+ wire to the pot and then the 5v psu(regulated wallwart)...

Thanks jeffreytheOO...they are hard to see go!....Like you said, it took MONTHS to finally get and i'm sure after that fiasco there won't be anymore runs.

Thanks ryansoh3! I am just trying to avoid a scammer or child. If your interested in the laser PM me and we'll see what we an work out.:beer:

Thanks much.:beer: It is a nice looking host and hard to see them go. I'm not sure if they will ever be made again after the last group buy.

Howdy all, It is time to gather some resources for life. I really don't want to part with this laser, but sometime you've got to do what you need to. One of the main reasons in that this is a great looking host. I was one of the many that took part in the Kryton group buy and waited for months...

Welp here are some pictures of the laser head with the driver built in. The driver is running off a 12V 5A psu and the fan off a regulated walwart set at 6V 1A. The housing is the B&W tek ones that many may be familiar with, the fan came from the projector we are all familiar with. When I get...

AAhh I see what you mean. Thanks for the explanation. So both are to even out the flow to the driver off the PSU and 5V regulator. I'v got a couple of LM317's in stock, I would guess one of those should work with the 10K pot and a 100nF Cap on the output? I think i'm just about there with the...

So I should add a 100nF to the output of the 5V regulator and a 22,000uF capacitor on the input of the 5V capacitor?

Okay so I wired up the driver and hooked it up to my diode. I still haven't built the modulation box but wanted to see if it would just fire up without it. I powered it up, waited for the interlock, got a quick flash of light and then the RED light came on on the driver. I have one wire coming...
