Thanks ^.^ Well, I made a new threading tool. This time I made a longer body so its actually usable. This is O1-Steel, HSS, oil harden tip. This time I made sure to go 100 thou stop before the end. On a lathe like we have, 100 thou is quiet a big range to stop. Gotta be stupid to miss it...

Notha day of class, More progress. Works as the back of the driver mounts flush with the aluminum face ( Yay heatsinking! ) I still need to bore out the front heatsink for the focusing part, and turn inside diameters for the mounting of the laser diode itself. Seeing my school has...

Wednesday I didnt make a new inside thread tool yet. So I decided to work on making the button hole on the tail cap, and making the body. Since we have oodles of OD threading tools, That was done with a carbide threading insert. This part is nearly complete as-is. I plan to knurl the body...

Fun fact of the day. I busted a custom made ID thread cutting tool because I forgot to remove .100 from threading depth into the part. Slammed the flat tip of my cutter into the end... xD WOOPSIES! Easily make another. Anywho... Lucky for me I just did a scratch test thread. Idk why I...

If I was smart I shoulda just asked my teacher if I could chuck it in mastercam and use the HAAS CNC lathe... Oh well, doing it by hand and having everything fitting together is good rep more/less specially for getting hired in industry, to say you made a complete assembly that fits together...

First. I didn't know where to stick this thread. This sounded right because I am indeed experimenting with making my own host. This is a WIP thread. Meaning a build-log that I'm publicly sharing. First thing I want to say. Before anyone goes "OMG looks like arctic host" .. Yes. I'm making...

Re: School Project, Need Axis laser holder + 445 dead diodes Dead or not, sexy they are ;) As an update, thanks to the community I'm all set. Diodes and axis hosts coming my way, that way faster than I thought actually xD

Re: School Project, Need Axis laser holder + 445 dead diodes Hudsonville Michigan would be my location

Hello, I'm considering making my own laser host with a few exchangeable head units. I wanted to make my own laser holder and lens focusing system. The lens that comes on the casio projector that these 445nm diodes are found in, how good is this compared to the 445/405 coated glass lenses for...

( All iteme I needed have been solved and shipped my way. Thanks for looking! ) Hello! So I'm finishing up a fall semester and I'm taking an advanced machining class where I can build whatever the hell I want, really no instructor. I'm suppose to only use mill/lathe even though I have CNC +...

Well, I have no means to bother hassles with send-backs etc so I couldn't do anything more but to take upon your offer of $50. Figs its under spec, almost have to build your own these days if you want to-spec unless the company is USA and garentees it, huh? Also the O'ring on the laser is for...

Do know a 30 and a 100 and a 200 is a huge change in price, not just a buck. So nice lol

Update - Sending it to Ibuprofen200mg for testing. :)

Re: FS: RayFos's 200mw green $150 retail, me: $100 free ship (PICS) The laser is only key lockable, led indicator, and it does have aperture closer. Didn't they use to say it took a 175+ mw laser to burn white paper? White paper burns easily..if that's true anymore.

Re: FS: RayFos's 200mw green $150 retail, me: $100 free ship (PICS) Lowest i could part with it for LPF would be $80. Guess in this case its w/e comes first. LPF member or some random guy i find elsewhere who will do $100 heh, cheap as is for the product at least. Wish i could sell it on...

Re: FS: RayFos's 200mw green $150 retail, me: $100 free ship (PICS) Well i only posted it as the price as that's what rayfoss sells for, back when, sure, i could have gotten a similar laser for cheaper. Figured id try selling it here first before going to other sources. I have no way to meter...

laser is undergoing an investigation to see what the actual power holds up to by Ibuprofen200mg www.rayfoss.com I'm away from home so I will cluster this with actual pictures later. The tag fell off it too, but I should have a 2010 archive picture of it in the box with power tag. I told them...

Yeah...id have to have to make a clamp that would clamp down on the diode to keep the origional lens. So your saying the lens attachment is larger diameter than the actual diode itself? I take removing the lens holder and popping it back on is harder than it sounds... Because if thats not so...

So, If i buy (down the road) a 9mm 445 w/lens diode, If you were to turn on the diode (obviously heatsinked) with that lens mounted to it, will it make a straight beam focus on the wall? Is the Axis module focusing ring really needed if you just want a straight beam (like the arctic for...

Re: Do people still want to buy an Arctic..? Just posting an update that the laser is still open for grabs and I will prefer $210 so shipping is covered. Aka $210 total price free ship... Thanks! :)
