Anything under $50 for a smoke machine is pretty good and definitely worth it in my opinion. It will REALLY enhance your laser experience, since you will see the beam like never before. Basically any one will do fine since you are just filling a small room with smoke, but investing closer to...

Good luck to whoever is given the position :) I have no doubt a good choice will be made. @Bloompyle: PM sent.

Check all the solder joints. If for some reason the driver got really really hot it may have partially de-soldered a connection, which would explain both the smell, the initial "death" and the current stability problem. Seb

Re: TEMPORARILY CLOSED - CHEAP 445nm diode group buy feeler. Calm down and wait for next batch like everyone else.

Re: TEMPORARILY CLOSED - CHEAP 445nm diode group buy feeler. Of course this huge price jump had to happen when I have just had problems with customs and am in debt because of extra duties on goods -.- Oh well.. I guess I will sit back and watch the rest of you play with these, and then hope...

This is a direct link to the post from bootleg2go Rob: http://laserpointerforums.com/f63/scammer-alert-51019-10.html#post704162 Follow that, and you should get your money back. If not, feel free to contact me and describe the problems you have encountered. Sorry to hear about the missus...

Hi Rob, I am very happy to hear you are feeling better. Could you please PM me as detailed as possible what you told the police and what their response was? I have dealt with two previous cases similar to this, and the police was very cooperative. Seb

1) The website looks a lot like many other similar online retailers. It is however easier to navigate and contains higher quality pictures and cleaner drop-down menus than others. It is also very light and colourful, and overall pleasant to use. It seems to be targeted somewhat towards children...

Sorry to disappoint you, but the owner of the laser is most likely Rob, her husband. On the channel description it says "This used to be just my account, but my husband has comandeered it, so now it's both of ours." I think she just does the filming of that video. It doesn't mean all hope is...

Morgan is correct, the diodes inside are most likely a <5mW red for reading and a weak IR for rewriting. You won't really find any diodes worth making a laser with in other sleds than those inside DVD or Blu-ray burners. However, as Morgan also said, the harvesting itself will give you some...

As I have already told you, amazing show! I really like how much it follows the rhythm and mood of the music. Would it be possible to link to where you got that computer case? I haven't been able to find a good quality one that is big enough to house all my PSUs and optics yet. Seb

A typical green laser as you probably know them is DPSS, meaning it uses an 808nm pump diode and two crystals to create the green 532nm. If you don't know this by now, you should probably be doing some more reading. Getting hold of and aligning these crystals yourself would be a very big job, so...

This is only really bad if you yourself are unhappy with the appearance of the beam, or if you wish to use it to burn (unlikely you would with 58mW anyway). Mode hopping is usually caused by overheating, or it can be present in the warm-up time of the laser. A constantly mode hopping laser is...

In the thread about banning Slipstream, I assumed it was another witch hunt because the initial evidence presented was so thin and there seemed to be nothing more than that to back the initial claims. I should have waited a week or so for actual evidence to be put forward before responding...

You are reporting me to c0ld? :crackup: For what exactly?

That was why he was banned in the first place. He was given plenty of chances to just "act normal". It is odd how some people actively seek to harass others. He is so desperate to be on this forum (the member banned most times in LPF history I believe?) and all he would have had to do to remain...

Very interesting read, thank you for that post! It reminds me of something I recently saw - an extremely thin bendable, "unbreakable" video screen. They talked about being able to have clothes with screens sewn in so you can actually have HD video on your sleeve or something similar. My thought...

Hey c0ld, glad to see it all working again. I haven't been able to get on for over a week! Seb

PM sent. Take care Ken, Seb

I would have to say planet Earth, since I find all the lifeforms here fascinating. It really is amazing how a bunch of random occurrences combined with physics and chemistry ended up creating all this.
