Hello lpf! I love this site and have been lurking on and off for quite some time yet haven't posted very much as I never felt like i've had much to contribute before and was largely unsuccessful when I did. I find lasers mesmerizing, the physics fascinating and I love to tinker and make gadgets...

Wow im DEFINITELY interested if they are what they say they are! Keep us posted

Hi guys! So recently i've been obsessed with the beautiful yellow/orange beamshots that i've seen posted around here and I really want to have a go at starting to assemble my own :D . Having just moved out to a place with a very tiny garage and only a simple bag of tools I just want to start out...

I understand, and believe me i do not take this thing lightly. I have several sets of goggles and have never even turned it on without wearing them. I also, always make sure there is no possibility of another person accidentally seeing it without proper protection. For outdoors, i have a black...

oops! sorry gimme a minute...

Here's a few pictures of the concept I have so far. I know that the switch isn't connected. Please don't judge my soldering(I'm a little insecure! :( )

Hi guys...first want to thank everyone who helped me with my first build(~1W 445) by answering my questions and putting up with my nonsense :thanks: Now i pray your indulgence for a second time...I have an idea emerging from several thoughts swirling in my head and i want to bring it to the...

So im going to get a DTR C6 host with his amazing heatsink and put the diode in one of his copper modules. Naturally i will be putting a 3-element lense in there but i am still torn between the x-drive set to 1.25-1.8(cant decide!) or the 2A lazerer powerbuck(pretty sure its going to be too much...

Yeah i saw them and they look great! Im most likely going to buy one of his C6 host kits. I found this driver on survival lasers Survival Laser Driver has anyone had any experience with them?

so i went on lazerer and the only driver i could find was the powerbuck at 2A Power Buck 2A Switching Driver for 445nm / 405nm Laser Diode Is this the one or were you talking about a different one? I do like the look of this one and the price is right! :takeit:

Hey guys. So I've been shopping around for a pair of m-140 diodes and being the frugal man I am :D I'm looking for the best deal possible since I'm buying two...what is the cheapest place to get then right now?

haha wouldn't the projector picture be almost impossible to see? Or just melt whatever you project the picture onto? I'm being silly of course ;) but im sure there is a reason for it...

wow ok so the m140 it is! The C6 host is exactly what i'm aiming for with an 18650. So what kind of driver would you recommend for it if it was driven to produce say, 1.2W output?

So i understand they are different wavelengths but as far as their input/output characteristics how do they compare? I know that they will both put out a lot of heat but want kind of power do they need? I have my eyes on a build using an m-140 and now i'm torn!! I will likely be using a smaller...

very nice! I'm hoping to do something very similar soon. Have fun, wear glasses! :)

Yeah i was just looking through all the options that jayrob has for hosts...they all look GREAT and they are fairly priced for the work done. I just have to decide how much money i am able to spend on this right now...See i would already have gone with the project box option and used a tiny fan...

Sorry for the slow response time. Exams! :yabbmad: I bought everything from Aixiz since they are down the road from me thus shipping was not required. The diode is actually one of the mitsubishi diodes which seem to be fairly common. I looked on the cajunlasers site and i expect when my...

Ok ill do that. Im not trying to waste anybodies time, i have tried searching but even when i find the same keywords i'm not sure if the answers apply to my case since all set-ups are different...thanks for looking

wow thanks guys! I;m still trying to decide on goggles because i dont know which spectrum i am going to be mainly using and since they can be quite pricy i'm trying to decide on a good balance of safety and cost
