Looking for a DIY project that someone has discarded or no longer finds any interest in. Ideally it would just be the base with mirrors, motors, switches, etc (not looking for a laser). I will be dropping my own laser and drivers into it. If you've got something you are trying to get rid of...

For sale is a OEM Wicked Laser Arctic Spyder 3 host. It has been gutted and drilled through the battery divider so allow for easy DIY's. All electronics have been removed with exception of the clicker button. Comes with both OEM tips. Originally meant to put corrective lenses and rebuild after...

This didnt start off as my original plan for this pointer upon receiving it. However it did play out as somewhat interesting. I received my Arctic a few days ago and have been using it on and off for the last few days. Never leaving it on for more than a minute or two. Well two nights ago I...

I am curious to see the guts of this thing. Has anyone been able to take one apart and peer into its innards? Try and try as hard as I can to unscrew the main body tube from the heatsinking tube, it doesnt budge. Should have suspected this from Wicked. They're hosts have always been seeminly...

I am unaware if this product has been found yet or not but I am guessing this prism pair is coated in something very similar to the 405nm AR coating that we all use on our 445nm builds. With some custom machining, I imagine these fairly small prisms could do some decent beam correcting, with...

I am trying to get my hands on another Kryton Barrel. I know they are like gold around here but I figured someone has one floating around that isnt getting enough use. Let me know gents.

Hey all, Quick question. Being that a 12x blu-ray diode draws more voltage than a PHR-803T, is one able to use the same dummy load to estimate current? In other words, should the dummy load for a 12x have more 1N4001 diodes?

So my $200 LG 8x diode LED'd tonight. Sad way to start off my weekend. It hadnt been run for more than a minute without getting an equal cool down time and it was in a kryton barrel so pretty well heatsinked. I think it may have something to do with the beam being directed back into the...

Wondering if anyone has gotten laser meter readings for the LG 8x writer BH08ls20. Because I would much rather drive to best buy and pick one up than wait a week to receive a BDR-203 if they are the same power. -Paul

Hey all, So I have finally saved up enough to purchase one, and only one, BDR-203 drive. I am well versed in extracting phr's and LG 22x's, but my main concern is in my ability to extract this diode with out any issues. Is the heat sink in the BDR-203 comparable to the phr? (extremely brittle...

Hey all, Quick question for those of you who have ventured into this before. The pin layout for the BDR-S03 is the same for all blu-rays? with the ground pin being the middle one? Also, can I neutral case wire the diode to a flex drive?

My question I guess stems from what has been seen of the 8x diodes requiring more voltage at higher mA's. Does a test load for accurate mA setting need to be made? Should more voltage drop diodes be attached?

Hey all. LED'd my 6x on accident while moving it to another host. Anyone have any clue where i can find another GGW sled? -Paul

Hey all, Does anybody have any used V3 or V4 drivers laying that they aren't putting to good use? Would sure like to get my hands on some.

Got a question for all you folks. Say you were to purchase a relativity low powered (5mW) 473nm blue pointer for say $400-$500. Is it possible to simply take the pointer apart and replace the IR diode with a much higher powered IR diode and make the appropriate changes (or replacements) to the...

Hey all. So I am very seriously considering investing the $$$ into the fairly new Pioneer BDR-203BKS drive. However, before doing so I would like to know from others who have already completed the build if there is much of a difference in the beam viability to the eye (not a camera) at night...

Hi there everyone. So I understand that everyone knows that dr.lava is out of LavaDrives. I have burned 3 of them out and I have no idea how. They wont push anything anymore. Either way, I am looking for one or more if anyone has extras laying around. Thanks.

Hey guys, So I've been selling alot of my blu-ray pointer builds on ebay. I know that they have strick rules about selling pointers over 5mW's on there but I have yet to be stopped or have an auction taken down. I have sold many units and I am worried that I am getting too involved and breaking...
