    Sharp 405 Question

    I am getting 1.7 W optical power. I was just curious what it could be. If the window detaches don't you lose power

    Sharp 405 Question

    Depends upon the diode. I am just wondering what looks like a foreign body actually is.

    Sharp 405 Question

    Below is a picture of the 405 beam. Notice something that looks like dirt on the lens. However, it is not dirt on the lens because I get the same image when I remove the primary lens and create an image on a gray background. I could not take a pic. I tried using air to see if if was something...

    Simple Sharp 405 Build

    Ha. Ha. I wondered if someone would slask. The reason I don't is one, that many others have done beam shots so I did not see the need. I mean, they are pretty much the same depending lens choice. 2 it is not a particularly bright, easy to photograph beam. I have a fog machine which I never used!

    Soldering

    Funny. I just pmd you about this. I have been soldering since I was a kid. Age makes it harder. I never bought into silver tin mix solder. I only solder with the same stuff you have. I have different diameters. I have the usual metal mesh cleaner, sponge, tin of tinning compound, and an...

    Simple Sharp 405 Build

    You may recognize Survival Laser's stainless steel host. I have a bunch of them. They are great for beginners low power diode builds as is the S4X for higher powered diode builds. The only thing as I have mentioned before is I prefer to separate diodes from drivers by connectors to make...

    Soldering

    Rich, yes I remember you telling me. The more powerful one is not backlit and strangely has mixed reviews on Amazon. They are now Assembled in Mexico.

    Laser Guns! (Photos) - Is The Tech There Yet?

    That is interesting. I was made aware of both broadband and YouTube long before they actually started...kind of a long story having to do with a radio show I did in the 90s....but, I never learned about YouTube or tried to make a channel So, what you tell me is really interesting. I thought he...

    Soldering

    The Chinese soldering station I purchased on Amazon finally started giving me problems. The soldering pencil replacement is no longer available. Anway, I have spent a lot of time researching different stations. All of them have complaints of one sort or another. I would like to know what you...

    Laser Guns! (Photos) - Is The Tech There Yet?

    A few questions. What driver and batteries are you using? You have a fan on the HS. What more could possibly be done to cool it off. As I recall, you are using a finned, processor HD.

    Laser Guns! (Photos) - Is The Tech There Yet?

    Wow. What fun. I want one. I have to look at your build. The small fan for the heat sink must be effective. I wonder what kind of fixed lens would be good for it. I just realized that it could be used as a kind man's weapon. Why is that you ask? Well, when you hold it against the target's...

    Jetlaser 10 X BE stuck!

    Hey guys, thanks. I did not intend to start a firestorm. It is just that when I first got it, it was very stiff. I only used it on a laser once. Then I took a break from the hobby and just started back up recently and was surprised that it was very stiff again. As you know, it cannot be that...

    Jetlaser 10 X BE stuck!

    Makes perfect sense. I remember people talking about them being stiff and mine surely was from the beginning. EDIT: I appreciate Gary getting back to me. My version is a much earlier one and my comparison with the Sanwu was unfair. Designs evolve over time as new things are learned and design...

    Laser Guns! (Photos) - Is The Tech There Yet?

    Well, that is what sci fi is all about. I think my grandfather thought that scientific breakthroughs that improve things for mankind would be conducive to would peace. I was serious.
