So this is a easy way to improve the ability to heatsink diodes.
One of the main problems is when we press in diodes they cant be removed and are not heatsinked on the back side of the diode.
That is a large surface that is left open.
This new way makes it non press fit.
This will also show my...
Adjustable mounts
I am getting some adjustable mounts made for holding the mirrors.
These would be made from 6061 aluminum and have m2 0.4 threads
Anodized black for very sexy looks.
Price: 12$ if order total is 50 or 9$ a unit in an order of 100
The lead time to get them made would be...

Looking to sell my old stock of laser items.
Shipping within USA is 3$, INT 10$
cr123a battery chargers comes with 4 battery's.

Silver host
takes 2 cr123a (10$) (over 20 in stock)
Here is an example of it with a HS and diode

So i was looking at my correction optics and kinda hated the fact that they were 20mm tall when i did not need more than 5mm if that.
So i started my reasearch into cutting glass.
So i built a submerged glass optic cutter with 1mm glass cutting disks.
So here are some test.
Here is the proof...
So first off fuck yes.
And some interesting news.
I broke the window on my 635nm diode.
So i had to take it out of the aixiz housing and de can.
Well after hours of work i got it out and working.
Im getting a bit more power but not by much.
Also some good news.
It was close to death but i...
okay so i had a thought.
532nm lasers have lenses.
has anyone ever tested them?
im am a bit afraid to pull my new 450mw green laser apart but if i replace the optics with berrter ones do you think i could increase the power? i looked and the lenses look like plastic not glass so maybe some...
It is no longer a flash light.
A beam with around 3.65mm wide by 2mm with around 1 to 1.1 Mrad
give or take .6mm
powers from 600mw very under driven up to 1.2W over driven with the 300mw mitsu diodes.
With the 500mw diodes the same optics can be used and powers much great can be gotten.
With...
Okay so i have been able to make my own m9 threads and lens holders but i have yet to find the tool to allot me to make the diode socket i saw one once that looked to be a step drill bit bit.
If any one can lend some advice that would be great.
Tired of spending money on aixiz products.
Going...
yes another poly burshless motor driver thread.

Okay so i have been building a dual and some where i read i could use the cube i got out of a GGW sled to combine 2 beams. well that seems to be failing. no matter what way i rotate the beam goes threw.

LSX Review.
This software is great.
It has many basic features that allow any skill level to use the software with ease.
Operations are as simple as drag and drop.
Here is the time line interface.
Its very simple, you drag and drop ILD frames or animation onto the time line.
There are also tons...
So any one else going to go?
Loads of fun with no sleep.
Planing on bringing my laser projector for some fun.
If any one else is going let me know, would love to meet up.

So after some decisions i have decided to only build one scanner and to sell my other galvo set.

That way all you need to do i plug in a power supply to the laser...
so i am looking to get a bench mill for making parts. mounts cases precision heatsinks.
I have a 6ft standing mill but its just a bit to big and it needs to go.
So i have been looking around but wanted to know if any one here has gotten one of the mini mills and cares to voice an opinion on what...
Okay so as some of you know i have been working on a new driver.
This driver i designed had only a few rules.
As many features as possible and no high wattage components.
Well it is done.
There are 2 versions.
1 high powered 2a version and one lower powered 1a version.
The 1a version will fit...
Okay so over the years of playing with my lasers i moved up to my first set of scanners.
Now when i first started it was a bit confusing to learn all the in and outs of my new hobby.
This is a thread im compiling with all the information and some questions.
Also for someone starting up finding...
So i have been building a driver.
The driver uses 2 3.5V or 3.7V battery's.
Has a v drop of 0.5v at 2A and even less at 1.5A
Also the heat generation at 1.5a is not to bad.
I have prototyped a version of the driver its single sided.
As you can see it uses no high wattage resistors or parts.
It...
