Either way, you will probably receive a close to on - spec laser so I suppose it is your opinion on which host looks better. Other than the looks, I doubt there will be much of a difference between the two. I may be wrong though, the new one MIGHT have a larger chance of having something...

I believe Elektrofreak summed it up nicely. About the sun / magnifying glass thing, I think there are too many variables to accurately calculate that. Cloud cover, the sun's location in the sky, your location on the earth, the size/quality of your magnifying glass...

Welcome to LPF! Make sure to read around, there's tons of great information around here.

:kewlpics: Very nice, I'm tempted to try making one myself. (which will eventually end in failure.)

Nice, have you tried longer distance burning yet?

Welcome to LPF! Be sure to read around, there's a lot more great information to be found here :wave:

Welcome to LPF! Make sure you read around a bit, there's a ton of great information around here.

Good luck, hope you get a better unit this time.

I would try new matches before blaming the laser for not being able to light it, or something else like a CD case. Rayfoss will almost always be of higher quality than DX and on the off chance that you don't get what you want, they will always give you a new one.

Every so often I stumble onto a link that appears to have the url of a thread here in LPF but it just sends me to the LPF homepage ... is there a reason for that or is it just me?

... wow I did not expect that. Always thought the dilda was much, much bigger. I will definitely have to buy one as soon as o-like is up again. :thanks: nice pics too!

So you mean to tell me that the dilda is almost as thin as most pen lasers?

Ha :crackup: Although I think there might be some mistake, 1.3 cm head diameter? Did you mean 1.3 inches or some other typo?

Great review, although I feel sorry that you got a slightly defective laser :undecided:

Welcome! Be sure to read around, there's lots of great information here :wave:

It isn't listed on either o-like's or dealextreme's sites. Any new - style dilda owners want to measure it for me? Width of the focusing head also the total length would be nice.

Oops, didn't see that there... Well then I would get the Rayfoss one.

ooo... free laser trial... sounds interesting

Personally, I would go with the O-like one even though I do prefer Rayfoss' host. Not that Rayfoss is worse or anything, but the fact that O-like's is focusable while the Rayfoss is not pretty much makes the decision. If you are planning to burn things with it (I'm assuming so), being able to...

I would buy some new batteries and try it out before you send the laser in and waste yours and Susie's money...
