With coolers? In what way exactly? It could be okay but it depends what host you're intending to use, what coolers, etc. Even with cooling, there are some possible obstacles. TEC cooling will produce it's own heat that you'll need to deal with and fans will also need a seperate power supply...

Hmmm, not bad. However, my first impression is that the OD is a little small for serious high power applications. Fine for an LOC diode or perhaps upto a 6x BluRay but the 445nms and 12x BRs may struggle to stay cool. It will also be very difficult to produce them solely on a lathe! Nice to...

@ FlightLevel350 - I wasn't planning on one before the new year as there is a lot of work involved and I have some college assignments I really should be doing but... ! I'm sure you'll spot some others selling the BDR-S06Js, at the very least, and maybe some SF-BW512Ls too. Don't count the BDRs...

Thanks for letting us know BB. I'm glad they arrived safe and sound. Looking forward to seeing your figures. M :)

Hey viper, Bit cagey on this one given recent price drops from O-like and Rayfoss. They're both doing the 12x SF-BW512Ls for $50! I don't know if that's a delivered price but still... I was trying to get hold of some for JETLASERS but my supplier didn't have any at that time. I will ask...

Very nice! I'm glad you are happy with it. I would've posted sooner but interwebz not been behaving lately... Thanks for posting the figures in the GB thread too, it'll be a good place to use as a data store for this batch. If you ever get an mW reading then let us know... Good goin'! M :)

Shipping was completed this week of the outstanding sleds. Apologies for the lack of contact, just about everything has gone wrong with internet at the moment; wifi signal so sporadic at my digs it takes around 10 minutes to send a simple email and my laptop refuses to connect to the internet...

^No point to a tri driven. No common diode diode would take the full 4.5A and two drivers will reach that easily. It would be difficult to find batteries up to the job too. If you have the space for 3 or more 18650s then you could find a linear driver to do the job. Nice mod DTR! M :)

Re: 1.497mA 445 in a custom heatsink (image heavy) Hey Auto, it looks like a nice build but I, and others, can't read all the text without scrolling left to right because the pics are too big, (a right PITA!). can you resize them to 800 x 600 please. This is perfect - Many thanks, M :)

^ I hope the OP takes the better advice here, I_F... ;) (Drop me a PM as I have tried but...) M :)

^The kit mentioned from Odicforce will easily be good enough for 200mW, (plus a bit with an efficient diode). It's doubtful a ~200mW, 650nm diode will light cigarettes effectively anyway, although it is possible, but I don't think that's what the OP is specifically after here, (and I would not...

Hi, and welcome to LPF! :wave: Definitely do not buy that kit!!! It is way over-priced and will not do what you are after for any length of time. Not to mention it is an unsafe application for what is inherently an unsafe component. It is arguable that it shouldn't be made at all. Pretend you...

Hey All, Having turned down my project proposal last year involving lasers, my Engineering Manager now seems to have got interested in lasers. He had now purchased a 75W CO2 cutting system for the college and seems much happier to let me build my initial proposal! The downside? It also seems...

Ha! V. funny EF! I like... :crackup:I feel there is more to discover on that site too. I never knew I was so wrong, and about so many things! :tinfoil: +1 M :)

^ Glad you got it Autist! Let me know what your figures is when you get some! Err, curry? No? I don't eat anything when I'm packing. Why do you ask? M :)

Thanks both to Kook for arranging this and Flaminpyro, well just for being Flaminpyro who has really cool wire! Payment now sorted Kook, apologies for that. M :)

I'm suitably impressed by that little number. Any plans to make me one, or two, or three... :D No, seriously, I could use one or two of those. What output do you hope to get when stablised in an Aixiz? Actually, inside an Aixiz wouldn't that be a similar size to current modules? How about a...

.445! I like it! Generally, the closest drilled hole you can get before being over sized is good but there are charts for reamers. Overkill in our use probably, but they are there. You chopped it in half Mo? Which half? Did you chop off the cutting end or chuck end? Either way, be sure that...

^ Same here! It seems to be a buyers market on these recently... I would expect to see another deal soon from somewhere to be honest... Anywho... Update on the sleds despatched today. More to go out but the bulk are on their way and the rest will be out in the next few days. Stay tooned for...

I'm as patient as most but I would like a definite date for despatch please. I have purchased on behalf of others for whom I'm building and there are other costs involved here for construction/parts, etc, and questions will no doubt be asked as I am effectively the supplier... Please find a...
