Hey guys, I've been gone for a bit but I'm in the process of getting back into the "Hobby". I've been searching around for a good returning project so I'm just kinda gathering info at the moment. I have a samsung BD-D5100 that's been sitting around in the closet for a couple years, I can...

I managed to come across a k3563 regulator with a heatsink on it. I was curious if this will work in a driver circuit like the lm317 or if anyone can tell me much more about it.

So I have my olike 405nm 400mW and my first build red with a lm317 I've been curious about gas lasers as well though. What are the benefits / downfalls to a gas laser? how exactly do they work? What are the differences between argon, co2, and HeNe? I didn't see any kind of "hey this is what...

Alright So this is my first review, I thought I'd give it a try considering all the help I've gotten from you guys here. I know there are actually quite a few reviews on this laser so far but hey, another perspective cant hurt right? This will be a review of the O-like 400mW 405nm Blu-ray Laser...

So I finished my first 660nm build a while ago, I just received my 405nm o-like, Now I'm considering starting a 445nm hand held. I need some driver suggestions, vendor sites would help :). I'd like it to power the LD up to around 1.5w or higher. Adjustable would be prefered. I have some (6)...

I bought the O-like 400mW 405nm bluray torch and just received it about a week ago. I also have 6 cells i took out of an old laptop battery which are 18650's. I was just curious what the difference is between the two. Are they supposed to be the exact same battery? Can I substitute the old...

I've been looking around a bit and seem to be pretty interested in playing with different "optics", if that's the right term. I was just curious any anyone had a good, preferably cheap resource for them. A starting point i think would be one of those neat little boards all the mirros and such...

So I know there's a few sites around that sell bulk AixiZ modules, but not singularly. In a bulk discount I think the most recent individual price I've seen was $2.50 usd a piece. there are a few buy it now's on ebay that sell for about $8 usd with shipping. Is this worth it, is this going to be...

Another Question for you guys. I've built one of these drives. I seem't to have one way or another killed the LD I was working with (I think I crushed the can with needle nose lol). Tomorrow I'm going to be looking for a couple burners to buy and harvest from, I just wanted to get some input on...

So ... I bought a 400mW 405nM on o-like on the 31st. Sitting around looking at DIY threads I said "Ehh...I can try that". Here are a couple diodes I harvested from a dvd burner. Any tips, suggestions, input on where to go next with this? I've been looking at this thread considering working...

Just curious what people have experienced buying from o-like, I live in the US - Georgia. Any idea's what I can expect?

Hey guys, first post so be patient :) I'm fairly new to lasers and have always entertained the idea of them. I've been looking at wicked lasers for quite a while then stumbled across this forum doing a bit of research, obviously i've ruled out using wicked lasers lol. O-like has this 400mW...
