    Focus grip part of the lens

    I'm looking for something to replace the default focus grip of the axisz module. Something bigger so when I twist to focus, my fingers arent so close to the laser (currently I get burned by the laser, and also dust easily gets into the lens because of the proximity of my fingers to the lens)...

    Do I need a driver if I have a regulated DC power supply?

    I've got one of these: Atten APS3003Si DC Power Supply 0-30V / 3A If I just hook it up to the diode, start from 0V and up the voltage until I have a current of 0.2A or whenever it starts lasing, will that be ok for the diode? Or do i still need a driver?

    The economy of laser diodes

    One thing I still don't understand is this whole harvesting from projectors business. From an economics perspective it seems very out of whack as it's so wasteful. E.g. the infamous c___o projector that's currently being harvested for its 445nm 1W+ diodes. Say the projector retails for 500 and...

    Good glasses for 445nm

    Im looking for a good pair of glasses that's been reviewed (hopefully with pictures or a video) so i can see the actual amount of glare that passes through Money isn't an issue, safety comes first. What are some recommended glasses?

    First time buyer - need advice

    Hi all I'm completely new but extremely interested in getting into this hobby. I've done much reading and basically I'm down to two choices: buy something from one of those Chinese companies or buy a kit and self-assemble. In light of the recent negative reviews on several Chinese companies, I...
