    Stop motion video of several hours of the projector :) http://vixlab.com/laserp/photonex.mp4

    Some photos of my projector outdoors. Granted these are long exposures but it handled things pretty well; would definitely like to try this again. 20120428_211729.jpg 20120428_153614.jpg 20120428_182555.jpg 20120428_183011_2.jpg 20120428_183722.jpg 20120428_205046.jpg...

    Yeah, definitely need to find some good mounting method. No idea what is going on in this video, but I think there might be some footage of my machine doing some text and some beams : Clannies Fireworks 2012 - YouTube Don't judge me :can:

    I'm going to fold some 5mm alu into a big C bracket that will allow mounting from above or below. Will need to reinforce the sides.. more metal work! Ideally I'd like to to be able to tripod mount it.

    Honestly, I'm a bit slack I don't know.. Would need to ask him, it is in the metal cage in the top right of the photo, DB15 style connector (if that is a hint at all?), 6V supply, modulation input isn't broken out to a connector I don't think just leads connected somewhere in the middle of the...

    Indeed. And.. I'm pleasantly surprised by the blue from styro - except maybe for the modulation response (only kicks in about half way) but the beam quality is quite nice!

    It was a 350mW as I was trying to reduce the spend :) I might upgrade it one day. The colour mix is skewed but looks amazing at lower overall powers.

    I haven't been able to verify the output of the 637, but itsa good! :) The black things are the scan amps which if you look in the other photos now sit below on the main plate (on an angle so the M4 holes line up with my 10x10 grid - bloody thing!).. I screwed up the placement of the Pangolin...

    Hey guys, Just wanted to reach out and say thanks for all the assistance and patience with my questions. I've just finished building my first projector and it's pretty awesome :) I was really lucky. A friend of mine was going through a purge of some of the incredible mass of gear he has and...

    Can anyone suggest the best safety goggles/glasses for aligning RGB systems? Are there good goggles that cover the entire 450-660nm? And what is/are the accepted best brands for these? Thanks!

    OK - thanks guys. I was projecting something roughly equal in both axis; I have since adjusted the tension on the galvo in the mounting block (unsure if this actually has any effect) and added a large piece of L shaped aluminium against the amp heatsinks which keeps both amplifiers wayyy...

    Another question - sorry If I should be asking these elsewhere. The amplifier for the X axis seems to run significantly warmer than Y, is there some logical reason for this, is it just variance in components or should I be checking something to correct this? How hot should they get...

    Hey Everyone, So I have my set of PT-40K's running. I'm currently feeding it with a 150mW green - from Spacelas too I believe. As a signal source I'm using one of those PT-Itrust cards - and while everything looks "OK" there is significant flicker and "dotting" of lines. I have a feeling this...

    There is nothing in the PDF about scan angle - so what angle does it drive at? I ended up getting these scanners : http://www.te-lighting.com/eng/supports/specifi/40K-Scanners.pdf Which I understand are spacelas "PT-40K's".

    Ahh sorry, this is them here : http://www.spacelas.com/pic/other/2011-09-01-09-18-162.pdf. Just a crappy showcard thing. Which is where my question lies - it's not playing from a player (of course there is some embedded player..) so what angle is it projecting at? I'm guessing it is fixed at...

    A follow on from the last poster - if you use one of those PT-Itrust boards - what "angle" are they projecting at? (Or does my question not make sense? - I'm new to this :) )

    Thanks for everyone's help thus far, I've got a very rudimentary scanner up and running in my enclosure - while I wait for a friend to CNC up a alu plate with grid of tapped holes (that's when it'll get real serious). So I have a quick question today - 500mw 635nm vs 1300mw 650nm - which should...

    Is there anything half way between iShow and Pangolin price wise? Trioxide

    Hey Everyone, I'm also new to scanners. I want to build something nice, my goals are : 1. Clean but fairly simple graphics. Words and simple shapes are what I really want to achieve. 2. Awesome colour. To achieve 1 I'm thinking of going with the DT30 "Entry Level" galvo's. From everything...
