i've tried to keep it at the one minute on thing, but i must confess that sometimes when i'm having fun with it i forget. Especially in mid burn :P I'd say it has taken the abuse pretty well. I've been casually carrying it in my pocket with me on the town, at parties and my girlfriend even...

good guess dude i'm 28

aparently i'm ancient i'm 28 soon 29

dude old mice i have loads of. one of the perks of working computer companies for a long time 8-) i want to thank everybody for the useful tips thusfar.

sure it will be a while before i get to it tho....

the vice was on my list. Previous experience has tought me that it is -always- needed

dude! thanks i didn't even think about that one! I think a 3rd paw will come in handy more then once

Re: Feeler: GB/DIY RED's and Blu-ray's sweet dude. I'm in amsterdam currently so i'd be very interested in getting some basic parts from you. especially if we can work around those shipping issues

thanks zom-b first really constructive post. I'll add those things to my list. I got alot of electronic TS experince but i'm somewhat rusty on the building, been a good ten years since i was soldering actively

thanks dude i'll keep that in mind and do a few experiments. Since the diodes are quite cheap nowadays so long life isn't priority in my experiments. I'm merely interested in "pushing the envelope" abit and see how far it can be pushed

what heatsinks were people running with the ~150mw builds? If one would use active cooling couldn't the laser be pushed alot harder?

ummm both would be correct. Besides only poor people are mentally "unstable" us respectable folk only become "eccentric"

Does anyone have any idea how far these can be pushed with proper heatsinks? Is around 200mw unrealistic to expect?

Hey guys n gals I've been pondering for a while on what i need to buy to make this hobby work. I've accounted for the usual diodes,soldering iron, misc electronics kit etc. Now i'd need to know from more experienced builders what they can recommend getting. I bet dremels are popular and...

sweet dude keep me posted. I'll be buying in a lot of junk from my next paycheck. What kind of blue are you getting? I'm mostly curious of the lens choices for the blues (burning with blue baby!) and i want to find the perfect lens :) can't wait until i get paid and can start building. Fearing...

the meredith acryillic lens is quite amaizing i must say. I've been playing around with it for a while now and when you get the focus just right it just devours whatever you point it at, but get it wrong by a fraction and it won't even scratch the surface. Fun but annoying sometimes :P...

somehow i'm not so suprised that the people who like pretty colored lights are also well versed in the lore of psychedelia :P Drugs ,as everything where you play with your mind, follow the simple rule: If it can't take it, do not do it. You don't start driving nascar if you are blind, you do...

wasn't senkats one "stock"? 420ma? mine is @ 470ma and still kicking strong with no issues with it yet.

Re: FS: *300mW MXDL Open Can Lasers With Heatsink* hey would the diode choice made an discernable impact on my laser? I had mine with the sony one... Also i was wondering if you have tried to burn with the glass lens how much "worse" is it for that? I don't have a lser with it (yet) so i'm a...

this is going to sound a bit strange but i "hear" electronics quite well. Been working with computers for many years now and at somepoint i just started to "hear" the flow of electricity in circuits. I don't think that it's been damaged either since that baby is burning like a pyromaniac at...
