    DIY Carbon foam

    That's very well possible. How much power do you reckon? High CO2 laser range?

    DIY Carbon foam

    Overestimated the cost of graphite crucibles, my bad. Iunno, maybe pack it into a cup shape in an offcut of tubing. The super-toast didn't seem too misshapen relative to normal bread, I think it might work. Might be tough to get it out without cracking it, though.

    DIY Carbon foam

    Yeah like he showed its not conductive in the thermal or electrical sense, so it wouldn't really dissipate the heat just absorb it, and since it's carbon its melting point is really high. lol I like that, because it's so literally true.

    DIY Carbon foam

    So happy to see AvE pop up, he's my favourite YouTube channel by far. This could be great for people who do a lot of casting and go through crucibles like crazy and don't want to buy a bunch of graphite crucibles. I can't thing of much use for it in the laser hobby, pretty much all of what we...

    The S setting as you might've seen controls the shutter speed while adjusting the aperture from making the photo over exposed or under exposed. The sweet spot for laser photography is usually around 5-10 seconds I find, more exposure isn't always more better though, it can be unnecessary at best...

    Yeah, you know a collection is good when the handful of lasers Pete brings on him on vacation outshines your entire collection ;)

    Only in this hobby will paying $500 for a yellow light be considered a 'bargain' :crackup:

    Agreed, wish I was here during what seemed to be the 'golden age' of LPF. I've always been a carpentry and woodworking guy but I'd love to get a metal lathe some day and really start cranking out some hosts, not that we don't have members here that don't do that, but variety is nice anyways.

    I have an iPhone 5c and a 593.5, but it's only 2-9mW. I can post a picture tonight if you want :)

    Hate to be off topic but- in the OP, was that picture of that guy always there? Did the image URL get reassigned?
