Nicely done, glad you got it finished. The first one is always the roughest but perhaps the most thrilling. Good job. :D

This means nothing to me, as you've given no details. Who said that, what's their credibility, etc.

Thanks for dusting off the thread Encap - reminded me to update it. Got a couple more back in stock. :yh:

Is there any proof of this or is it just rumor?

Well, you did mention you're going to sell them: Can't do that with negative reputation. I think you're the one who doesn't understand sarcasm, since there was no hint to indicate that it was other than pure stupidity, which can be found without sarcasm. Hence the creation of this thread. ;)...

Solomon, let's not forget that you can't post a sale thread on LPF with negative rep. ;) Edit: 18W single mode, LOL yea okay

Thanks Albert, and Bob, I'll shoot you a PM if I get some progress if you'd like? :D Tonight I worked on a focus ring for that 473nm, the lens assembly was bothering me. Stainless steel just like the body, and tried to make it match the shape/style of the heatsink: One of the most...

Creative thinking, Gadget. Nicely done. :D

Encap nailed it. Your thread will be disapproved as you don't have enough "laser related" posts, most of them are just filler posts. This could even be considered circumventing B/S/T rules.

Rich I can't say you'll have much luck finding that material in bar stock, yet alone as a consumer rather than in bulk. If you can then hell yea give it a shot, would make for something unique. But starting to make many hosts from it sounds a bit overdone, since aluminum and copper work...

Thanks all! I have to say I prefer the 473nm over the 503 too, CynicalBrad you made the right choice. I've always had a thing for my blues. :D Thanks Chris, I'm learning more about getting higher quality beamshots the more I take. Bob, it won't be happening anytime soon as there's a lot of...

Thanks a ton guys, I really do appreciate the kind words. I'd reply to each of you individually but the post would be too long. :p I urge you all to keep a sharp eye out for these 470+nm diodes, I can't get enough of mine. Glad I sniped it while I could. :D Thanks Bob, I agree with you the...

473nm & 503nm Lasers Custom Builds ────────────────────────────── As most of us are aware of the new wavelength diodes, I took a stab at both of them and ended up getting some nice builds. All of the relevant information for these diodes were discussed here...

Check again ;)

Wow, worrying about your design being stolen but having it made in a Chinese shop. The irony!

Nicely done Styro, nice score on that diode. Makes for a unique pointer. Excited to see the final product of your efforts :D BTW - best to save the alcohol for the optics :p

:crackup: you can't be serious. If you're so scared about someone stealing your design that you won't even post a picture, how are you going to sell it? Have them sign a non-disclosure agreement? :crackup: Like Jerry said if you're so worried that someone is going to copy your amazing design...

Hell no, I hate spiders, and centipedes too. thanks(?) for sharing though. :crackup:

In that case, where exactly is Solomon Laser getting them for so cheap?

The title of the thread is "Thoughts on my design", and that's exactly what you're getting. I think you're going against what others are saying because you don't like it rather than using it as constructive feedback. If you're getting lots of negative feedback, clearly something is wrong. If...
