This is my second review, going to keep this one a little 'lighter' than my first. This is a 405 blu-ray laser build. It uses a Mohgasm 478mAh linear driver. Power output is estimated to be ~700mW? with a g2 lens. The host I used is the SL-SS2LHA, or the special stainless steel host from...

+1 for this. Any word?

Updated the bottom of the op with beamshots.

No way? That would be the greatest!

The heatsink really is amazing :beer: I haven't tested the duty cycle for long yet, but I believe it'll be infinite.

Hey there LPF! This is my first review ever, and I am doing it on my first 'true' laser. I say first, but it's really my second to make... The first was a 405nm I put into a Nerf gun, and will soon be in a Magicstick (I'll do a review on that when I get it!). So, without further ado... The...

Could be a short? When my drivers died from a short the shottkys started smoking.

I mean, it is worth a shot, I might as well... What was the different between the two different shottkys you sent me? One of the pair ended up getting lost either in my driveway or my mom's car. (Home from college for the summer, mom opened up my mail for some unknown reason and lost all the...

Nooooooo D:

I got em Friday (?). I replaced the D1 parts, the shottkys. It lases, but it's still super dim like before... Should I try replacing the 3 capacitors(C1, C2, C3) on each board? Or am I SOL and just need to get two new drivers all together?

I've found another host, thanks though.

That's fine, thanks again man! Real life saver :thanks:

The exact parts that exploded were these: PMEG1020EH,115 NXP Semiconductors | 568-4105-1-ND | DigiKey On both boards, they became busted. One of them totally fried (could see the brown from the smoke on the semi-solid thermal paste I took off) and the other was pulled off the board when I pulled...

Yep, pressed mine in too hard XD

No, the diode is just fine.

That would be awesome, thanks.

lol I've having so many problems with my build as of yesterday. What would the extra wire do? I may just go out and get a switch or something that fits in its place.

I was thinking about it. But I don't know of any local place that would carry the part. There is one store in mind, but it would be a toss-up. I also don't have a fine tip for my soldering iron, but this would be a good excuse to get one.

Yeah, when I get new drivers, I'm going to do something similar. I take it that it would be a bad bad thing to take the broken semiconductors off the board and solder across the connections?

Yep. There was a short somewhere when I mounted them on my heatsink.. No, they were already made. Got them off Cajun Lasers. Arctic Alumina thermal adhesive.
