Just thought I'd throw in my 2 pence worth from a PC overclockers perspective. By the way, all my comments are from a practical perspective. So, metal is the only way to go, and not something fancy like Silver. Only Aluminium or Copper. Copper is all nice when talked about, but in practice...

Not sure of Aus's options in terms of hardware stores etc... but here in the UK, one of our bigger ones "Maplin" sell flight cases really cheap. Have you considered one of those instead? They usually come with pick-n-pluck foam aswell. Mine was less than $20 in a sale but they generally go...

Sure, Optotronics may already have an RPL BE solution using Melles Griot; the point is it's REALLY EXPENSIVE! The point here is that the one offered by DL, with their adaptors is less than $100 all-in!!! I know the original thread was on about an adaptor for an off-the-shelf BE fitted to an...

Hey all. Just to say that Dragon Lasers sales people confirmed to me that they'll be releasing an adaptor for the "Hulk" range in the next couple of months. So for all the Aries, Hulk, Hulk Ultra, Crossfire, and possibly RPL owners (not sure of the dust/safety cover cap design on RPL's), there...

Cheers rog8811. I'll have a go at that and see how it turns out. Thanks again :)

Just thought I'd say it with pictures aswell :)

Hey all. Just wondering if anyone can recommend a good grease or lubrication for aluminium threads. It's to reduce wear on the threaded battery compartment on a not-so-precision-engineered portable laser. It's a DL Hulk style model. I tried some grease I found in the garage, but that made...

Justin. Thanks for clearing that up, makes sense when you think about how much gets reflected when playing around with normal lenses. Anyway, my point is that price is the most important issue with anything, and if I saw a beam expander that fitted my Aries for a reasonable price, I'd have...

What I'd like to know is are there any risks or issues with using non-coated lenses for a beam expander? What I'm getting at is the prospect of using a much cheaper alternative to a beam expander; such as a monocular? For example, machining a simple mount that would clamp to the end of a laser...

Re: pseudonomen137 scammed me out of $425! Hey guys. Without going into too much detail, pseudonomen137, my argument simply boils down to the age-old issue of merchant Vs buyer and customer satisfaction. To me, all that matters is that customers receive exactly what they expect, and given the...

Re: pseudonomen137 scammed me out of $425! LMAO! A reality check here for all those who seem to tolerate, and even defend such behaviour from ppl like this "pseudonomen137" character. - You make a deal - You meet the deal, PRECISELY! - End of story If anything deviates from what was...

Hi. Just for precautionary purposes... ... I think the most important thing is IR FILTERS; most DX and other cheap lasers don't have them. You WILL seriously risk damage to your vision if you play around with anything over 10mW that hasn't got an IR filter. You can get around it by buying a...

Yeah man, cheers. Glad I made the right choice... eventually ;)

If you value reliability and customer service (getting what you paid for, basically), you only have one of three choices: Laserglow, Optotronics, or Novalasers. Laserglow and Novalasers are my personal recommendation as I've dealt with Laserglow, and Novalasers are part of the same firm now. I...

They actually repaid me the full amount, minus shipping costs. - I initially contacted them on the first day of problems, and they responded in a couple of days with the ok to refund me - I posted the items back in perfect order and confirmed receipt at their end - They confirmed I'd get a full...

Re: Techlasers opinions? . CLOSURE!! Hi all. Just to close this looong standing issue, for those interested. I've just received my refund; happy days. It took a hell of a time to be honest, and I think that it may have got a bit mixed up in their internal operations or something, as when I...

Hey guys. It's been several weeks now, and guess what... .... I seem to have been ex-communicated by Techlasers. I'm trying to be fair and objective, so not jumping to conclusions, but have to say this "customer service" attitude of theirs absolutely stinks. Someone at the other end of the...

I personally think that if it has an IR filter and performs as it's specified for as long as you own it, assuming you have it for a reasonable time, then you would have a great deal. Only time will tell though I guess ;)

Hi. IMO Laserglow are a great company. They base their power ratings on constant output over 5, 10 mins etc... and I honestly can't fault their customer service. I'm in the UK and they not only respond to emails in a matter of minutes or hours, but called me a few times for the sake of speedy...

Thanks for the tips guys. I'll give it a week and see what happens. If still no luck, then I'll get in touch with Visa. Cheers :)
