I guess access to these will be as always; early adopters pay premium prices by harvesting their own from the drives that will use these when they appear, eventually. Then a while afterwards, the 2nd quality sleds will appear at usual laser parts etailers. No chance of buying direct though, at...

Yeah, that bit is a bit unclear in the sense they clearly say the energy in that demo was from 2 square meters of mirror, but don't show precisely how. I mean we could assume that as the mirrors can all be controlled independently they could have set it up to only allow 2 square meters...

*rolls eyes... ... To all you nay-sayers who seem so confident that if YOU can't figure out it's feasibility, it therefore cannot possibly be true, here's a link to the Solar Furnace Research Facility in southern France where this video was recorded. Four solaire d'Odeillo - Wikipédia It's...

Nice build and pics. I've got one of his kits on the way too, and also was thinking to use a 12x 405 instead of my last 445. Might keep that as a spare instead and go for full on burning. Just wondered about the beam though. Very visible?

Well it settles it. Those are definitely not the same as the ones bundled with the Arctic so far. Even the recent reviews show the same ones I have. The lenses look much darker too. Thanks for the review, and clip :)

I think it's been demonstrated many times that the terms of business ethics vary around the globe. Yes, at this price said laser is probably a reasonable if not a good, or great deal, but I wouldn't bother wasting your time trying to argue the virtues of honesty, or being "reliable" to these...

Interesting. It seems WL have changed the glasses from the ones they originaly sent with the Arctic. I know for certain that with the original glasses that came with the Arctic the dot from a high power 445 still appears blue, albeit MUCH lower in intensity to the point it has no effect if you...

Lol, no offence, but are you seriously trying to get me to repeat the same mistake as you in the hope I come to the same flawed conclusion? I understand that wiping with a cotton swab can often pass residue already on the swab onto the lens, leaving marks/streaks, and not necessarily...

Hi. I can't see that vid as I'm replying on a phone, but IIRC, is it that one that looks like it's in a shop, over a counter or something? Anyway, I think someone posted that vid here a while back. Very funny :) As for focusing the Spartan, not an option now, or for some time according to...

Er... ... "Plastic" lens? Are you absolutely certain??

I had the theme tune to the A-Team montage (the bit where they always get trapped in a shed and build tank from random bits lying around) playing in my head while reading about this build. ;) Great work.

I can't wait to throw a 445 or 12x 405 in this beast. Already bought one of the same hosts as spare parts and the quality is excellent. Actually, just thought; the Aixiz 445 lenses I also ordered, are they ok for 405nm output? No problem if not, I can always order one or two elsewhere if...

Yup, it's definitely just the same Arctic host, but as it's specced slightly differently with a lower output, and using 2xCR123's, it's interesting. Interesting in that the most obvious logical conclusion to me is that supplier(s) of the Arctic host, as well as the other main components must be...

Nice laser there. That host, as popular as it is, still catches my eye whenever I see it. Also, nice pics. Especially the one of the EzFocus adapter. Always wondered how it was fitted. By the way, that's a Jayrob kit right?

Great review, and another beast of a host! Thanks for testing so many build variations; you're becoming the the one-stop-shop for build tutorials, at least for me anyway ;)

Thanks lazeerer :) , and I totally agree, this design of his is fantastic. I'm sure there's some sort of artistic spiel someone could spout about it, but "sexy" is good enough for me ;) My pleasure Ehgemus, and thank you too. I think my Kodak has just earned the right to stick around a little...

Hi all. Just thought I'd share my experience of my first 445 build, my second proper build, and review my first proper host, made by Ehgemus. I've assembled a couple of Mk2 Dilda hosts before this, but they were more like painting-by-numbers, to be honest. After reading DTR's review of his "...

No need to be rude. Only trying to help, as I'm sure everyone else was. Not that it would matter to you, but I took a look at DL's returns policy, as it seems you didn't bother... ..."Defective Product Replacement The warranty period for every product is listed in that products website...

Great host! It's nice to see alternative ground-up frabrication methods other than lathe, and mill work.

Hi. I bought two Spartans from them, and both are still fine. You must be one of the very few unlucky ones. As for your shipping issues, it really does matter where you are in the world. Your country clearly has lower prices for shipping in general. You want to know how much tracked shipping...
