Thanks for the clarification, I know that I was a little confused myself as to the actual website.

Well part of the potential range I guess is due to the power of the laser, and part due to the divergence. While not exceptionally powerful at 100mW, the divergence is quoted in the specs to be less than 1 mrad. I would like to take some measurements and I know I am being a little over...

Oh, that is interesting ! I guess the design is not exclusive to O-like. Actually, the beam expanding lens on the one I received looks slightly different than the pictures on the O-like website and on Lazerpoint. On mine the actual lens is not as large looking as the photos, although the beam...

Thanks for the + :) If you decide to do an instructional build video that would be amazing! Some things I'm a bit confused with is does the test load have to simulate the exact voltage used by each specific diode, or does it just have to simulate the mA required? Is it that the testload just...

@Infinitus, When will these laser companies realize they will actually make more money if they offer good business practices rather than trying to save money by trying to claim the laser never showed up when it did... Do they not realize how many people are here reading on LPF and what they...

In the future some reliable laser companies to order from are O-like, Lazerer, Survival Laser, Optotronics, Cajun Lasers, Laserglow etc... These ones should not let you down! Or you could purchase from the many talented builders on the forum as well!

Sounds like you've had a bad couple of weeks man... On top of all the things that have happened, I really hope O-like is good to you by refunding the shipping. However when this kind of thing happens they really should make up for your troubles by sending you a gift certificate or something...

Is that a Fisher Price laser? :yh:

Thanks for the help on some of the steps Ryan, I appreciate that! I'm sure I will have a lot more follow up questions at some point. :) Keep up the good work!

I probably shouldn't say this but I wonder if he does pap smear screenings? :crackup:

That's a good idea, there is a youtube video I think it is by Dragonlasersfanman of someone hitting the side of a water tower very long range. Unfortunately there aren't any water towers near where I live (Rainy westcoast Canada) but I can probably find something similar after I do a bit of...

Nice work Ryan! Would you ever or would anyone consider doing a video tutorial from start to finish? It would be great to see an explanation of the proper way to use the test load and take measurements on the multimeter as well as the process of soldiering and using the thermal paste etc for the...

I think Deathstarlaser might have been asking me how mine works, I was lucky to have mine arrive in good condition unlike TacoHerders unfortunate DOA from O-like... I've just been able to do a few quick peaks of it outdoors. There is a tall tree about 250 or so feet away that is about the...

I'm really sad to see your laser in that condition TacoHerder. I ordered the 100mW 532nm O-like Beam expander one as well and it didn't come in a lot of packaging either. I believe it was placed in the holster (mine was camo rather than black) and just within the bubble wrap lined envelope...

Wonder if these could be imported into the country under the "novelty cannon" description ? :evil:

I'm not really an expert on graphics cards but I thought the website below that I've used in the past and I think it's a good comparison of all the graphics cards benchmarked for framerates with their comparative costs. They have lots and lots of cards from high end to mid range and lower. When...

What if there was a short description within the avatar of the banned member with something almost like a computer error code such as: Banned for reason #3: Abusive to another member or reason #1: For not listening to Admins, followed by a date of return such as: Returning on 5/23/2012 etc...

Wow thats amazing I can't imagine that much pollen that's crazy. I actually didn't realize pine released that much. I bet it looks neat in a sunset too? It would sure be overwhelming if you were allergic though, it would knock you out! :yh: I don't think I've seen that movie before, is the...

Ahhh, good call. I bet your right !! It's nicer to think there's a more natural and mundane reason for the increase in the particulates. :p

I know eh? One thing weird I have noticed around here is that within the last two weeks on really clear nights there are far more particles in the air then just a few weeks ago... It's not foggy, humid or anything and I can see the stars clearly as well. It's just strange how many more...
