    SXD Driver Advice

    Maybe its just me, but in my experience with 32650 batteries. Even the Feilong ones don't seem to measure up in my opinion. I use them in my Jayrob build, but never really impressed with them as I am with some of the smaller sizes. See this...

    Feeler: 10mW 589nm pointer

    Yes it is, but Nice of you to point it out. :) I always pop in and check out the thread, whenever I see anything yellow to orange (575ish-620ish) - my only versions right now are HeNe lasers. Someday the price may drop :)

    please help me with my HeNe laser

    start here first. https://www.repairfaq.org/sam/laserfaq.htm "Modern small to medium size HeNe tubes require an operating voltage between about 900 and 2,500 VDC at 3 to 6 mA and a 5 to 12 kV starting voltage (but almost no current). Precise values depend on the size and construction of the...

    Review of the Mystery Violet Laser Pen

    Nice review, I have owned quite a few of these with ranges all the way up to near 100mw. Only other thing of note is that on SOME of these, if you pull the cap, there is an adjustable screw in lens that is a standard AixiZ style. However, some also had a fixed lens. I've made a few cheap...

    FOOD!!!!!

    In the last year or so, I've been buying cuts like this. Cooking at low heat with a mild rub and slicing thin with my berkel for my own deli roast beef. At less than $2.00 pound for perfect deli roast beef, you can't beat it. Plus its MUCH healthier than buying the cooked stuff with all the...

    Assembly help, housings etc.

    I bought a couple early on because they were 635nm instead of 650nm and as mentioned - cheap. You can drill a small hole in anything and wire them direct, but as mentioned other than being small, they aren't worth much. (pre made with worthless driver and no adjustment) Don;t know if it was...

    The first days of LPF. the laser forum that was 'almost' never created

    Great forum (from experience) so far, hope it continues into the indefinite future And I hope to be there with it. :) 13 years and counting Lots of change in last few years, fewer people building from scratch and lot less deals and group buys, but this forum is always a great resource and a...

    200mW 375nm UV Build

    Also purchased from this past summer - no issues

    Assembly help, housings etc.

    As simply as possible - the modules you have are 12mm (diameter) x 30mm (long) so the host needs to have a hole in the middle that will fit that. The bottom of the module needs an electrically isolated point for the positive, and the side of the module needs to connect to the negative. Using...

    New drivers by me testing and suggestions thread.

    Giannis_TDM Just a little note about round vs square drivers. DO what you want but consider this. Many of those making requests for round drivers are from newer members only on a few months. It might serve you well to Go with what the veterans are asking for first. They have been on here a...

    Build a $10 burning laser

    As mentioned, any cheap housing that will work, the lens or any of the LED part isn't needed as the AixiZ Module is what holds the lens and diode for the laser.

    Continuous wave?

    All excellent points, but the one I think you missed was also the price. You can build a very nice lower power laser pointer, in most colors, for much less than the cost of the high power AND without the added cost and additional issues with chopping the power back. Its not usually worth the...
