Hi LPF'ers, some of you will know me most will not, I sort of retired from lasers to do other things around 3 years ago. It was nothing to do with the community or the forums it was that I had other things to design and build.
I have been forced out of retirement with a commission for...
Hi guys, long time no see! ..... and I return as I want to raise some money :)

I had it running through a norm DAC using his free software, I understand...
The idea has been buzzing around in my head for some time that I wanted to make a light saber using lasers.
I also wanted it to have an adjustable length blade that fully retracts.
I have now built a proof of concept model using 3 5mw greenies, I took a movie of it with a bit of smoke...
What you need to think about when buying or selling here.
As the buyer.
Some members selling here are young people most of whom are still at school or college, they are not a shop or a business. Before you commit to buying read rep comments, pm someone who has dealt with the seller, look...

There have been a number of posters saying that they cannot see the pictures They have posted in threads, this is the way to do it, right click the photo icon, copy shortcut and paste that between image tags, in the "edit post" box.
there is the danger that people who have not had this...
I have had many people asking me about KES400 sleds to do the 7 colour laser mod.
There have been no GB's for them here for ages and supplies on ebay seem to have dried up.
Do any members here have any that they would be prepared to sell if I directed interested parties to this thread?
The only...
I buttoned this up about 10 minutes ago and wanted to share it with you, the colour rendition of my web cam is awful and I do need to adjust intensities but you can see it has promise.
Video follows in the next post........
New video on page 2!

This laser lighter is made up from:
Zippo (type) flip top lighter

Annoying isn't it, you had to waste time clicking the thread to see what is so wow.
It is becoming more prevalent for posters to title threads like this, (just a random selection from the last few days)
I have more important things to do than to wade through threads that I cannot comment on...
There must be some of you who have purchased an LD only to find it has special needs so it goes in the drawer never to see the light of day again.....now may be the chance to offload it ;)
I need to get hold of a fiber coupled IR laser, lowest power around 1W, I have seen some on ebay but I am...

The 3 lead diode: SFOE1018F, On the...
