Looks awesome! I bet you're hooked now! ;D

Do I win?? Nice case though! Wonderful alternative for a PSP case. I'm sure we can come up with some more great cases for our lasers! P.S. If you're interested in the high density foam like I used you can PM me and I can try and find a price for you. ;)

Reminds me of when I'm looking through my parts box to find something....

I've seen quotes of these well over 1k each. (I think, it was a while ago) So I think we're better off buying some 30mW DXs for a few bucks for now! :P

Some good info in here. I know UCF has a wonderful photonics devision. I was told that the three main places for photonics/lasers in the US are UCF in FL and a college each in Nevada and New York. [Don't know which schools though sorry!] Personally I'm beginning my freshman year and Indian River...

I actually was looking at this exact product in Spencers yesterday! I like this more though... http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/prodinfo.asp?number=C6733

Yeah I ran across that a few times. Would be fun to build. I'm still going to hope something pops up on eBay soon enough to buy though.

Elaborate more? Check the voltage on the battery. Make sure all contacts are good. Which model is this exactly? Try providing a link. You're being very vague so it makes it hard to help you out.

Sorry for the double post but my batteries do get about 1.4V out of the charger. Maybe you're just using older cells that have a lower capacity?

Weird that you have such a touchy module. I know you don't want to spend much but my three green pointers work great off of Sanyo Eneloops. Worth the invest me if you're going to expand your AAA laser collection! (I even have the AA versions that I'm using in my Xbox360 controller and it works...

Target has had the Dorcy Jr. for $20 around me I think. Even if it did and I were to buy them and ship them with tax and shipping it would be $25 anyways. But they are great little lights. I have one still assembled and one with an original GB red diode in it and it works amazingly. I think it...

Hey guys! I'm slowly making a comeback. ;D But anyways, I'm looking at a <5mW HeNe lasers on eBay and it does NOT include a power supply. I was wondering where the best place to obtain one was or if anyone had an extra or could manage to get one for me at a decent price. I have a modified...

They look awesome! Where can someone go about finding one of these? And how much are they normally, psu and everything. Drop me a PM with some info maybe? :D

The output drop probably isn't from a voltage issue. Probably while you dislodged the IR Filter you disrupted the crystal set and with that even out of alignment a tiny bit it can cause the power to severely drop. You can try moving the assembly around a tad bit, and if you're not too worried...

Due to the size and build styles of these lasers there really isn't much you can do. The changes in temperature will move the crystals around by the slightest amount and it will cause the output to be effected. I just say be glad with the nice pen you got. ;)

Looks sweet. So I'm guessing since you mentioned making a heat sink for it that you will just have one diode that is centered? Only asking because I know people have been crazy enough to think about multiple laser lights.

Looks like a great start. I can't wait to see this thing up and running. I like the idea of the LEDs, maybe wire two of them. Have one for standby and one for lasing.

Re: MEGADILDA - DX200 Red on steroids... Awesome modification there! I'm sure once I get some money settled I'll get one these just for my collection and then move on to the modifications. What I'm wondering though is if you would even need to take the diode off the drive board if you're...

more like a third of the power and it would be the highest rated gx2 from wicked ::)

Wow this is an interesting theory to work with. I'm sure you guys can come up with something though. Try out thrift shops and garage sales for a phone. I know next time I'm near one I'm going to take a look and find out about this. Maybe even mount a phone with a luxeon 1 watt led! Fight the system!
