Welcome to the forum. Glad to know we have a co-ed intrest in lasers. As has been stated, be ready to buy good apporpriate safety glasses. I am thinking you are going to want something in the 840nm range (Infared). I'm no doctor, but this is what the physical therapy people use on my foot I...

I'm fairly new here, but I must say that you need to LISTEN to these guys when they say buy the glasses. I own several guns and still know that even though a BB may not kill you, it can still set up an infection and cause health issues, and this is just a BB not a bullet. Which is why the first...

I was wondering if you got my last PM on 4-18. I noticed yesterday that the forum site was having some issues, cause when I tried to log on, all I got was a post from 'maintainence' saying "be right back"

AlI would certainlly go with copper. I have one just like that but I don't have the heart to mess with it. It was my moms and that thing was used ALL the time. We had to use a piece of cardbaord from a cereal box to keep the batteries from rattling around. Can't wait to see it finished. BTW...

Sup? Not sure where to add this, so if you could, please place it in the appropriate thread. Some people have been asking about o ring lubricant grease and some of the referals, while they are the name brand stuff, I have tried the plain old 'plumbers water proof grease' for rubber seals and it...

Man, what is up with the 'My Little Pony' on everyone's avitar?

Hey dude. Just wondering if you could tell me how to "spead" some rep around. Wanted to give props to some people out there.

Pman No dude, it's to put his blinkin' eye out so his depth perception is screwed up and can't chase you without running into a tree. Then you use the laser as a distress becon to alert the forest ranger of the 'mad' bear.:D Not that I would purposely harm a bear. I'm just sayin' your not...

Pman. Using it for a bear deterrent, whilst roasting your mini marshmallows with the laser over the campfire you started with your laser.

Lighting your campfire when your matches are wet and you forgot your striker.:D

Can you tell me how to upload pics from my phone? It keeps asking for a url from a home page. I just want to upload pics of my first laser I just finished. Like the pic I was able to upload for my profile.

Yea Grainde. But was thinking of making it inline with the focus adapter so that I can allow fog to flow through it for a "cool" effect. Please don't be in any hurry to see it. I broke my foot at work back in Nov. And have been on "light duty" since being back at work in early Feb. A 90lb...

Sup? Thaks for reply to my questions the other day. Didn't relize that my Aurora c6 was coming from Hong Kong, so looks like I'll be waiting awhile on my build unless I find one closer to home. I was wanting your opinio on my post "hot potato" in the general forum.

Still a laser newbie here, but I keep reading about how you guys (and chics?) are having heating issues with the diode and heatsink. so I was curios and did a search for micro fans. I have seen several sizes from 0.6" (maybe smaller) and up that run on 3v for around $12. Couldn't you mount it in...

Much thanks. When my parts come in, I will take picks and add the links w them. Should be this weekend. BTW the diode is already wired according to the supplier, so I'll just soilder the wires to the board and not cook the diode.:cryyy: I know this is not the cheapest build I could go with...

So the - and + stay the same from the doide to the driver? And the host grounds the case pin and - . It is a C-6 host not C-60 as I misspelled. So pretty much sraight up connections then. No need for wire if I soilder the diode pins directly to the driver.:confused:

Sorry I posted this under the stickies while readind them. Yea I'm a newbie. This is my first build and I have a few ? I'm going with a lens, driver, module 405-445 kit from Aixiz; a 1w- 1.5w A140 blue diode in copper sink; w a C60 host. 1) When wiring, I was going to soilder the diode pins...
