Hello all, As you can tell by the inactivity of my account, I have been out of the laser hobby for a while. So, I'm selling my Sci-Fi Lasers SF501b 445nm 1.1W laser (recorded with my LPM). I got this a while back in a trade but it's just been sitting for a long time now. I'll take offers; no...

Hey guys, If you haven't noticed, I have been gone from lasers for quite some time now. I moved on the the land of multicopters and drones... :P That being said, I'm selling some laser things. Not everything, in case I want to get back in the hobby sometime else. So what I have right now is a...

Hey everyone! Long time, no talk. I've been really busy lately with having a job over the summer, running an online store, and now going to a residential high school. Lots of stuff going on! Anyways, I just wanted to come back and let all of you guys know about my new Indiegogo campaign. I'm...

I order some driver springs from Intl Outdoor about a month ago. It was a pack of 10 for $4.50 shipped. Unfortunately they still haven't arrived and I need some driver springs, so I thought I'd ask if any of you guys had some. I just need ones that can be soldered to drivers (particularly the...

Hi, I posted a while back about dropping my LPC826 build (C6 host with 530mA driver). When I dropped it, the diode got extremely dim, and I assumed I broke it upon impact. I got a new LPC836 today, so I wired it up and starting using it. It worked for a grand total of probably 35 seconds (10...

Hey everyone, Just thought I'd share a nice deal I came across yesterday! It's an aluminum case from Harbor Freight, with that pick'n'pluck foam stuff in it, plus it's got the latch closing mechanism. This would be great for laser storage! It's regularly $49.99, but it's on sale for $27.99 +...

As some of you may know, I recently traded with Thejoker301 (owner of Sci-Fi Lasers) for one of his SF501B 445nm 1W+ lasers. I gave him a bunch of custom decals and he sent me a laser :D Communication with him was very smooth. He responded to every question or concern I had throughout the...

I've been trying to find a carrying case for a while now... My lasers have just been sitting in their bubble wrap envelopes they came in :p I went to the mall the other day and they had a cigar store. I walked past it once without even thinking. The second time I walked past it, I realized they...

So I'm in the middle of writing up a build post and tutorial with pics and everything on my brand new LPC826 build (in a C6 host with a 530mA driver), Here's the problem... When I took it outside to play with it I dropped it. Maybe 1-2 feet, onto a brick surface. I picked it up and it still...

It took a long time to decide on a company to buy some parts for my build from, but I decided on SurvivalLasers due to the extremely positive rep (and the LPF discount :p). I ordered the C6 host, a C6 heatsink, a pre-set pre-wired buck driver, and a small heatsink for my driver (which I now...

I'm sure this Q has been asked and answered a hundred times but I couldn't find a definite answer. My 445 1W laser from SciFi Lasers is suggested to use either 2x 18350 or 16340. However, I have some CR123A's on hand I wonder if they would work too? I know they're only 3V vs the 16340/18350...

EDIT: Figured out how to replace the silicone cap! Check Post #6 for the full tutorial with pictures!

EDIT: Title should say "Positive," not "Pisitive," and I don't know how to change it :p Hi all - Jmillerdoc has recently been kind enough to send me an LPC826 diode and 12mm module for free to help with my first build (thanks again man :D). I have decided on the SurvivalLasers C6 host and...

Hey, I'm looking at buying this 501b flashlight from DX for a Red LPC826 build. The only problem is that it's the entire flashlight, not just the empty shell. How would I go about taking it apart? Is it just simply removing the bulb and glass lens on top? Sorry for the n00b question, haha. Just...

Not sure if this is the right section, but... I need to send a package overseas. It's just an envelope with some vinyl decals in it for thejoker301. I've looked at several different shipping methods but the cheapest I can find is the USPS flat-rate priority international envelope - and it's...

Show everyone your lasering pride with one of these "laserist" vinyl decals! Stick them to your car, your window, your cell phone... anywhere you want! :D These are just a few I came up with, but I can do many more! Just leave a suggestion post if you have a suggestion :yh: (Updated with NEW...

Hey guys, I'm fairly new here but some of you already have met me. If you read my introduction thread you would see that I sell custom die cut vinyl decals! I run my business mainly from Etsy, can be found at Adam's Vinyl by adamsvinyl on Etsy. All of my customers have been happy thus far, and...

Hey everyone, I'm looking to trade for a laser, or any other laser-realted stuff! As some of you may know, I own a vinyl decal business where I create custom die-cut vinyl decals. I have been doing it for a few months now, and I have created custom decals for a few companies thus far - all of...

Hey everyone, I have been looking around and considering buying lasers for a while, but I think I might rather build one. I found this host, and I think I would definitely want to use it...
