Ehhh... It was the "I am a complete newbie to this" that made me wonder - in addition to the fact that you referenced a Kipkay project (Kipkay is frowned upon aroud these parts). And, on further inspection, that is a question you should have posted because personally I have no idea how you...

This is a very easy question to answer, but how old is your nephew? For a first time laser-owner the thing you're trying to build is horrifyingly dangerous. Read around the forum a bit first and you'll find your answers.

I want to pulse either a 660 or a 532, just because I've been wanting a pulsed laser for a while beause they're pretty.

Earthworms are easier to sharpen if you freeze them first.

I was thinking something CCD-chip-y...

I was just about to suggest a firesteel but you beat me to it. I don't ever really use mine for anything useful, just like spraying orange sparks. Regarding the fire piston, the way it was explained to me is that it works like a deisel engine. Rapidly increased pressure generating heat. Or...

It's not designed to be a guide for pros. It's designed for people who are new to lasers so they can understand the basics of choosing a laser and and be led away from the crappy companies and towards the better ones. But you could always suggest some improvements that would make it more useful.

What a bizzare website... not sure I like the look of it personally. Seems like a pro-anarchy organisation - an association with lasers I'm sure we'd all be better off without.

As above. o_O

The batteries will be drained faster. To be honest, this is very cool, but if you have a paypal account you're better off ordering a green laser from pretty much anywhere and not modifying it and you'll get basically the same result.

But then what if the punishment becomes the crime? Santa will come and spank you back! o_O

Haha, awesome! I didn't turn my lasers on. But, yeah, that's awesome! :D Good job.

I think that was the point.

Dog gammit. Would have bought the boost drivers and PHRs together. Oh well... the offer stands in the unlikely event that LaserCo is rendered unable to. Where did they come from originally?

Re: Novelty Hand Grenade 445nm Build.! I saw this: KL-205AA3-3W Aluminum Flashlight products, buy KL-205AA3-3W Aluminum Flashlight products from alibaba.com but I have no intention whatsoever of buying 1000 units. But the Alibaba page says it's made of ABS. That's not true, is it? And did you...

^ That's awesome. How did you make, and how much does it cost?

...These are not the droids you're looking for... (I just spent a little while looking through the emoticon list for a star wars one, to no avail - just pretend there's an animated GIF of Obi Wan convincing some Storm Troopers to leave C3PO and R2D2 alone)

You could probably build a 445nm laser for <$100. EDIT: IF, you bunghole! You stole what I was about to say! :banghead:

Or you could post schematics? :poke::p

Re: Novelty Hand Grenade 445nm Build.! Wow! I love it! :D Looks like it has awesome heatsinking. What driver? EDIT: Also, how much was the total cost of the build, and where did you get the flashlight from? I can't seem to find it anywhere...
