very awesome, maybe ill start one of these for a summer project...

:cryyy: it's so beautiful! I can't wait until the price on these drops... Thatll probly be forever though :(

I am beginning to make a collection of lasers that have relativley small hosts. So far I have a small 250mW 650nm laser from O-like, and a C-6 based 1W 445nm laser. I hope to find similar sized hosts that I can complete my collection of with a 100mW 532nm and a 300mW 405nm laser. I have seen...

Siickk ! How long of an exposure time was your camera set to? That fanning effect looks great!

I'm sorry if the wording of my original post implies that i "wasted my money" using Survival Lasers, I certainly did not mean it in that way. I simply wanted to show the unique "parallel beam" effect I was getting with the diode, and I definitely will continue to purchase pieces from SL. I am...

hahah then maybe ill hang on to this and let raise more undead diodes :D

I recently purchased a 445nm diode from Survival Lasers. It was packaged very securely, but I am pretty sure i got one of the most inefficient 445nm diodes evvvver ^_^ I was very careful with installing this into my C6 host, for i know the dangers of static... but I am positive I just have a...

Hey guys, I have been testing out a microboost driver ran with a single 18650. Attempting to fit the driver inside a pill of a c6 host, i noticed my leads had shorted out, and now the driver shows a constant current of only 210mA :( did I break my driver? There was smoke coming out of the...

And you say this supports both a boost and buck mode?! :drool: good work!

thanks guys :) i purchased a microboost drive recently, and i will most like order the microflex and moh's designed linear driver to play around with all three for comparisons... :/ now i need a better soldering iron...

Just thought, you might want to check out Sigurthr's schematic of a 555timer setup for pulsing the laser unit, if you had an adjustable pot. to adjust the frequency, you could get some interesting effects if combined with the spirograph :beer...

Funny, because i actually had the same idea when i first built a 200mw red laser, i used the blue side from the 3-D glasses to protect my eye(s), ...and then i experimented and saw how quickly lasers burn through the thin plastic...:eek: If you all thought the pipe fittings were ghetto, I...

^.^ thanks Sigurthr, cant wait to try this out later tonight

:p I think the laser-to-the mouth part scared me the most... so close to his eyes

I already have a bin of dead diodes, but with each dead diode, a story and a lesson learned :o

Here are a few of my favorite 445-abuse videos :beer: try watching both without calling these gentlemen "complete idiots"

Cool stuff! Transistors give way to endless possibilities, allows you to combine anything (light a toy lightsaber soundboard and a high-powered laser) :)

There have been a few builds that i have found that integrate a small voltmeter into the back of the host, Mini DC 3.2-30V Digital Voltage Panel Red color | eBay These seem small enough to fit in a decent sized host, and will tell you when to recharge the batteries. My question would be how...

Thanks , Im ordering two pairs immediatley :)
