My cheapness has resulted in my being laserless. I dont know if i blew the diode or what but it was dim then dissapeared, anyway.....I have/had blu PHR w/rockstr driver, I have a MXDL host with jayrob heatsink. a few new parts from radioshack, 2 Axiz (one's cut in half) and I had a Phazor diode...
I made this a year or so ago, I've turned it on maybe 10 times. its an MXDL from DX, DDL driver with LM317, jayrob heatsink, phazor LD in axiz. I wanted a "burner" to light matches and pop balloons. I made this thing wrong or somethin cause the setup i have should do that with ease, but all...
I have a MXDL with a phazor LD, my DDL circuit (w/LM317T) pushes out 420mA. I've had it put together for a while, hooked up my phazor last saturday, put bats in and turned it on......nothing not the faintest hint of red anywhere. I have no clue what could be wrong with it and my job is keeping...

i have been reading and reading these forums for over a month now. finally got all the right parts, made a driver, tested it with 4 LEDs and its good. got my diode put the silicone and capacitor on it, hooked it up to my driver. popped in 2 AAs flipped the switch and nothing! adjusted the...
everyone is mentioning lenses, where can i get one, is the AixiZ a housing with a lens? can i use the little "eye" peice on top of the sleds from a cd or dvd player/drive/burner?
I have put alot of time into this laser project and im now stuck and looking for help. i finally got everything to work on my breadboard with a LED, but my new pot i bought will NOT turn the LED off at all. i can dim it, but not turn it off. when i used a mystery pot i aquired off a toy...
