    Post your pics of unique builds no-one else has

    I've had an idea for a one of a kind host for a while. I should be able to get the tail cap and body parts. The problem is the head. It will have to be three parts. If there's someone that could at least 3d model it, that would be great.

    Full copper host 26650 x2

    I kind of want one but am afraid to ask how much it would cost.

    SELEM 2019 - Aug 6 - 11

    Some of you know about SELEM - southeast laser enthusiasts meet. While it is more for show and show projectors, anyone interested in laser stuff can go. Just don't be stupid with pointers. Check this thread out for more information...

    lathes

    I got more replies than I was expecting. I was thinking one of the tabletop sized one would probably be able to handle most of what I'd use it for. For learning, I might see if I can find a someone locally that has one and would be willing to let me watch and maybe practice on scrap material. I...

    lathes

    I know some members here machine their own stuff. If you were going to work with material with a max size of about 4" diameter and 18" long, what would you recommend? If I get one, copper and aluminum would probably be what I work with the most. I might try working with nickel at some point.

    I really want to make a host out of this material. There's only one problem...

    The whole point of me wanting a host made from the material is because of how it looks. I initially came across some tops made out of it. That made me think a last host made with it would be awesome. I'd probably put a diode around 515nm in it.

    This what's inside the copper. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niobium%E2%80%93titanium

    It cost $100 per inch. Then there's the fees for the person that machines it.

    Custom Copper heatsinks made to order

    Do you think you could make some direct press modules for the Aurora C6?

    Lumia parts?

    Did you put a yellow in a lumia project yet? With other colors being available in low cost & compact forms now, I'm wanting to start another lumia project. I currently have a small, battery powered lumia box with 4 colors; 450, 450, 532 and 638 or 660. I want to build something with 405...

    Osram PL520 3D printed host build

    Seems like you might start a new trend with that idea. As others have said, metal would be better though for heat transfer and allowing the other end of the battery to be connected without having to use a wire. Personally I would smooth out the surface for a cleaner look. Maybe even etch some...

    490 nm Lightsaber ;-)

    So your post got me thinking. I tried it with most of my lasers. I need to find a lens that will unfocus my 589 enough to properly light up the blade. The 450 gives a nice, deep blue. The 405 looks awesome although it would probably need a lot higher output to make it visible in bright light...

    light sabers

    This started out with wanting a wookiee costume for quite some time now. Then over the past couple years I've thought about a Jedi costume too. Well, after going to a Star Wars night at a local hockey game and meeting some of the people there that do cosplay and show up for events such as...

    490 nm Lightsaber ;-)

    Do you have an actual saber from them or just a blade? I have a saber from Saber Forge tat I'll be posting about in off-topic shortly.

    New site live - please report any questions/issues here

    I was here trying to read some stuff recently and I kept getting the maintenance message. I was expecting such a change. It says I'm a new member though. I think I joined about Oct. 2007. I'd like to see the join date under the avatars.

    I'm still kickin

    Well, I have a saber now. I've also picked up some other diodes and want to get one of the 488 diodes. I picked up one of these a few months ago. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sharp-488nm-60mW-Mint-Blue-Laser-Module-Built-by-488nm-Laser-Diode-TTL/142796888140?hash=item213f5b984c I'm glad to see some...

    Introvert discussion

    Just thought I'd bring this back up due to some stuff I've gone through the past year. There been some stuff I've struggled with throughout my life that I decided to talk to a mental health professional about. During my time in the active military, I also had a doctor tell me I possibly had an...

    I'm still kickin

    One of these days I'll get around to posting the stuff for sale... Christmas break wasn't much of a break. I just got back from a cruise to Mexico a few days ago.

    No kidding. I think they'd be willing to sell or give you a few missing pieces though.

    I'm still kickin

    I'll try to be around more often. This week is also a 6 day week and I've heard a rumor that every week might be a long week this month. I've been looking for a job that pays a little more and that is something I'm more interested in. The interview is what I'm worried about while searching for a...
