    My first diy laser build!

    Okay but I wanna heatsink anyways in case it goes to 200+mW or if it breaks and I get a new diode or better driver.

    My first diy laser build!

    If it does not work I will not make the video though, Maybe if it breaks I could make some kind of what not to do video or something hahaha I'm not sure if you heard of this before but I actually found a heatsink for chips! 577102B00000G: AAVID THERMALLOY: Fans & Cooling Do you think that (if it...

    My first diy laser build!

    I'm not gonna show my dad he'll think I'm an idiot hahaha you're 40? You're the coolest 40 year old I know! Well I'll try the one my friend recommended and if the diode dies no prob and if it works well and does not heat much maybe I could make a video on it :) if it does not work at all I will...

    My first diy laser build!

    Is there any way to make sure it will be 100mw because I kinda wanna leave it at 100mw on the 300mw diode which should last long and be extremely efficient :D and on my second laser after I research will be 200mw (violet laser in a flashlight maybe from jrob =) )

    My first diy laser build!

    I think my friend said it was 420mA and probably 220mW :( well my dad was thinking about not letting me build it and then he said well 100mw I might be okay with :)

    My first diy laser build!

    It worked for him and why not near 200 some people push it to 400mw! :wtf:

    My first diy laser build!

    Thx alot but for now I found out how to do my laser somewhere else and I am not gonna build another laser until I learn a bunch of stuff but for now I'm happy I can finish my burning laser :) I talk to a friend and he gave me some helpful info: what I need is: 1x LM2940 2x 3 ohm resisters 1x...

    Hello everybody!!!

    Thanks Tech Junkie

    My first diy laser build!

    Okay I'm getting a bit stressed thinking this is a impossible billion dollar build. if I use all the things I was gonna in the first place plus the 100ohm pot and 2.77ohm resister and 1N4001 and cr2 bats will I be fine and just turn the pot until it gets bright or lights a match or pops a...

    My first diy laser build!

    Well a friend told me that the LPC-826 is basically the best quality and I don't know if I overturn the pot or not or under-turn it :\ if I choose the 822 would my components work or can you find new ones as-well as the cr2 batterys. Oh and the red 200mw 2x cr2 laser from DX apparently kills the...

    My first diy laser build!

    Okay but, Which diode is better of yours and are there any other even better diodes. Not talking about power.
  15. Twisted

    My first diy laser build!

    Hmm cool... What's the difference in these diodes and are there any better quality ones (not more powerful) and whats the difference from me buying from you and from modwerx? I'm in Canada :)

    Hello everybody!!!

    Canada, Why Tech Junkie?

    My first diy laser build!

    NICE laser! Are you sure it will work with my components the CR2's? And do you sell any of those lasers?
  18. Twisted

    My first diy laser build!

    Thx so much everyone :) and My friend told me it would be better to use 4v and get a heat sink for the chip... Also do I skip the old resister and use the one you recommended? :D

    Thanks for clearing that up I just wanted to make sure nothing wasn't wrong....

    Canadian Customs/Health Canada Seized My Laser [Letter inside]

    I've ordered from there before but I've usually gotten it in 8 days, Then again it was 1-2 years ago and it was just 5mw pointers, I'm just getting into the hobby again because I'm a bit older and can buy higher powered ones now ;)
