Finally decided to come back to this hobby after a long absence after finding my unfinished 445nm build while doing a clean. Now that I'm just about done with my degree and picking up some work, hopefully I'll have the spare cash to get some bigger builds done down the road. Been doing some...

Just as the thread title says: Have any Australians here been to the National Youth Science Forum? I'm pretty sure there is at least one Aussie here who is in the school year applicable to applying. And there are plenty of Aussies who are past that year. So, anyone?

I purchased 2*2400mAh 18650 Li-Iion batteries and a 18650 charger from LarryDFW a few weeks ago. Needless to say, he provided excellent communication through the transaction. Unfortunately, when the charger arrived and I plugged it in (through my travel adaptor), it died. LarryDFW provided an...

We had a school trip to the University of Queensland a while back and remember being shown several gas lasers. I'm very sure the guide said they were gas lasers. Anyway, the lasers had around 3 slots on top in which these card-like things could be inserted. The combination of the cards...

Today I just bought this flux dispensing pen. The clerk over the counter said she thought it was most likely flux for electronics (since this was an electronics store) but wasn't sure. So I hopped on the site of the distributor to do some reading and found the site linked to above. It says its...

Hey everyone, I don't think I ever introduced myself on this forum, sorry about that lol. Well, if you've seen some of my other posts you'll obviously know I live in Australia haha. Just got interested in lasers quite recently when my friend decided to order some 100mW reds from hong kong. At...

Ok, I know I'm sounding like a total noob here, but how hard is it fitting, say, a 50mW (12mm diameter) module into a rayfoss waterproof torch host (fits 12mm modules? Would I really need a vice or something for it? And I've heard some people talking about "bypassing the switch". What is that...

Hey, I became interested in laser a few months back but haven't managed to get any through customs. Just had a few 100mws seized last week :( So I was wondering if there was anyone here in Australia that would be able to write up a list of parts I'd need (not overly expensive, I'd like to keep...
