    Question about focusing lenses?

    what's interesting is I canabilized an overhead lcd projector last week and salvaged all the optics stuff. There's more then a few lenses. One in particular though seems to correct the rectangular beam issue. At about 3" out its a very, very fine beam but beyond that it diverges very quickly...

    Question about focusing lenses?

    looks like I found most of my 445nm "line issue" answers in this thread . http://laserpointerforums.com/f49/dreamlasers-have-beam-corrective-optics-56721.html#post802527 Not really a big deal anyways, primary use is targets less then 12" and the line issue is hardly noticeable

    Question about focusing lenses?

    Module came in this morning! I was not expecting it so soon :) Works great. I played with it a little bit. I gotta wait until son goes to bed though, he's nosey and I don't want him around it. I'm gonna search the forums for solutions too. Is there anything I can do to reduce the divergence...

    Laser host and module help

    You might wanna wait for a Sr member to confirm this. In this case I believe yes. The spring makes one connection while the host makes the other. I'd check that spring see if it's connected to ground or not. If it's not then the host is positive and you'll want to insert your battery negative...

    battery question: is non recharge safe

    did you check Vape shops? A lot carry 18350's which are just a few mm wider but same voltage as 16340 I bet if you brought your laser to a Vape shop, told them you're looking for 18350 or 16340 they would gladly let you check if it fit before buying. Who knows someone at the Vape shop might...

    PL445 Battery Compatibility

    I don't mean to sound paranoid or anything and I'll admit I'm still pretty upset but I seriously think it has something to do with Milwaukee, WI customs and possibly someone stealing. It sat in customs in Ohio for almost an entire day and was released no problem. But when it got to Milwaukee...

    Question about focusing lenses?

    It's actually in one of the link titles at the top. "3 Watt BIG BOY single diode blue laser 3X18650" I have a brass Tesla dragon clone currently that I might use. https://m.fasttech.com/products/3027/10009951/1945200-tesla-antique-dragon-18650-mechanical-mod I have a few others laying...

    Question about focusing lenses?

    Does this need 2 or 3 18650's? Top of the page it mentions 3 18650's with a link to an LPF thread.. But below the product name it says "(Use with 6-9V or two 3.7V Li-Ions!!!)" 3 18650's would be 11~ vdc.

    Question about focusing lenses?

    This is a pretty big relief. Don't have to worry about customs now. I was pretty bummed when my package got siezed. This is the 2nd b-day gift they've stole lol!! Few years ago they siezed an Android tablet because it "didn't have an RoHS sticker"

    Question about focusing lenses?

    Awesome, that's kinda what I thought. Seriously, this is the best news I've had all day. I've been browsing for a couple hours now trying to figure out the best route for my first build :) So if I got the 405-G-2 Glass Lens W/Focus Ring does that scew right into the end then...

    Question about focusing lenses?

    So after having my laserbtb order seized by customs today I've decided the DIY route might be best :) Gonna start out real simple. I'm looking at getting one of these 510 threaded modules from DTR. Which is perfect for the mech mods I already having laying around. My question is, do I still...

    PL445 Battery Compatibility

    I'm looking in the FS section now for someone in the US selling one with similar spec. If someone has one pm me? I don't think I can post in there yet though I'm could build my own but severely lack the time. Afraid the parts would end up in the giant pile of half finished projects lol

    PL445 Battery Compatibility

    Well.... customs seized my laser! They said it had no warning labels, no "safety information" and no certification stickers. I emailed laserbtb. I suppose they'll have me wait until the official letter from customs arrives to send to them. Hopefully we can get a refund or something :(

    Hello everyone! Bird solution?

    Are you doing this during the night only? I don't know much about bird behavior. Just kinda tossing some ideas out here for you. - Would shining them with bright and maybe multi-colored and/or random flashing light scare them? Like some ultra bright flash lights? - What if you combined...

    Still waiting for it to arrive. I emailed them early last week and they're including the 18650 extension tube free as gift!! Haven't received shipping notification yet though so I'm not sure if it's even shipped yet :( However the batteries and safety glasses will be here today. Excited. The...
