I know this is completely off topic, but I was given an old porcelain cup and saucer and wanted to do some research and see what I could find out about it. There is some writing on the bottom of both pieces and I am wondering if someone can please assist with a translation? After some...

Happy Holidays LPF, I hope I am the first to bring this host to the table… I was out shopping earlier this week and like most of us, I am always on the lookout for new and/or different items to make into laser hosts. Some of the best places to look are your local hardware stores and at...

Hey LPF, I want to share a little project I completed this week. I have been wanting to build a mini hand-held laser into an Aluminum project box I bought a couple weeks ago. I had some scrap / leftover parts laying around, so I started cutting, drilling, soldering, and gluing. The parts...

Interesting article... "Laser attacks are serious business. According to the FBI, they've reached "epidemic levels," with 3,700 expected to occur by the year's end. But we're not talking about some kind of futuristic death rays. No, no. This is about people with laser pointers blinding...

Hey LPF, It was a rainy day here is South Florida today, so I went to Home Depot. I was looking at the LED flashlights and found a cool laser host. It is the Energizer Hard Case Pro Inspection LED Flashlight. Even though its mostly rubber and plastic, I thought it was a very good looking...

Hello LPF. I wanted to share a new DIY build I just completed. This one took me a while to get everything to fit just right, but it was a good learning experience and the finished laser turned out really nice. Parts list: K & S Brass Tubing (1 x #139, 1 x #140) 2 x Aixiz Modules 1 x 405nm...

Hey LPF'ers, Just a quick note to let everyone know the my recent purchase with LightHound (Fenix Flashlights, Cree LED, Lithium Batteries, Lithium Ion Batteries, Li-Ion Chargers, Leatherman Multitools, Spyderco Knives and more!) was flawless. I found a specific need for some very small...

Hopefully little or no use, mint condition preferred. PM me if you have some to sell

I am relatively new to lasers and thanks to my "new found addiction", I have quite a few lasers in my collection. I am interested in the varying uses of the different wavelenghts and I have a question about 808nm... These scare me due to the invisible danger they pose to your eyes, so I don't...

I was going to put this under the "Guess what this is?" thread... This is one of the first lasers I built a couple months ago. The host is a inexpensive Eveready flashlight I picked up at Target. I was able to find some copper washers to resize and use as a heat sink and secured the Aixiz...

Does anyone know what size the threads are on a standard 532nm 50mw Module as pictured below and if there are any screw on covers available? Shown here in my custom host... I have seen some modules on eBay and other sites that have caps on them and was unsuccessful finding anything at the...

Wanted to share these pictures of my new DIY Laser Pen. It was a fun process to make and with parts, laser module, and battery it was under $40. I was at a local hardware store this weekend and purchased some small lengths of brass tubing. It sparked my interest as it said 12.7mm diameter and...

Hello, Looking at all of LPF's projects and hosts, I am getting overload on ideas that I want to try. I am trying to colminate a bunch of these ideas and some of my own to start a new experimental project... The objective is to create a new portable host laser and am going to attempt to...

Good evening LPF, I recently bought a couple 532nm modules to test with from Cajun Lasers (50mw 532nm green laser module [532mod50] - $24.99 : Cajunlasers Store). Clif said the should be good where they are adjusted and probably won't take much extra voltage. Ofcouse I want more power, but...
