Tom Steele is a stand up guy and great to do business with. Sold me a 4 year old expensive camera lens in 99% condition just as advertised for a great price and included the lens hood.
Easy communication before, during and after the transaction, fast shipment, well tracked and the package was...
Greetings,
Anybody know of good tutorials to learn reflow soldering techniques with a toaster oven for a complete idiot?
I looked at a few of the videos on Google, but nothing really struck me as a good tutorial.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I bought 10 of these to practice soldering leads to diodes.
5mw 650nm laser diode 5 pack, AixiZ
What should I do with them after I'm finished? I'm going to mount them in the standard Aixiz modules. But how to power them? What host? What driver? What are the possibilities for these when I...
Got two 405nm diodes, one each from DTR and Survival. Installed both in C6 hosts. Both should be around 500mW to 700mW with one driven at 447ma (Survival) and the other driven at 428ma (Mohgasm), each with a G2 lens.
These are great lasers and they burn like hell, not like the 1.95W 445nm's...
Yeah or ney? I read most of the stuff I could find and I have three of them running at 1.62A, but without much time on them. One of them LPM's at 1.95W peak, haven't yet metered the other two. Need to juice the batteries and see if I can get that one above 2.0W.
Considering pushing one to...
Using this thread as an inspiration:

I made this gizmo:
Out of these parts:
Left to right is:
1) One inch copper elbow, with a flange on one end.
2) One inch to 1 1/4 inch copper expander joint.
3) 2x 1 1/4 x 3/4 Schedule...
Below is an LPM of a DTR 445nm diode in a Mohgasm C6 host driven at 1.62A with a G2 lens on fully loaded AW ICR 123 750mAh batteries. The LPM was a LaserBee USB 2.5W.
The little spike down on the right was when I accidentally moved the laser.
A picture is worth a 1,000 words.

Is this a good power supply for the laser hobby?
DC Power Supply - Linear Power Supply - Mastech REGULATED VARIABLE DC POWER SUPPLY HY3006D 30V 6A New Model (Powered by CubeCart)
Thanks for any input.

Wanted to post just a couple of quick pictures of the assembly of a C6 host and a closeup of the driver and diode connection that I made.
The C6 host is from Mohrenberg and is driven at 1.62A and is connected to a DTR 445nm M140 diode.
The image above shows from left to right: 1) Tail cap...
What would be the best way for me to practice to learn to solder leads to diodes before actually trying a real one? Is the wire for soldering leads to diodes stranded or solid?
I have read/watched many of the tutorials that are on this site and others, but really want to learn how to do leads...
Anybody know the best way, or even if it is possible, to add an IR filter to a Lazerer Rifle host?
I ordered a round 20mm IR filter thinking I could attach it to the outside of the null lens or maybe remove one of the pattern inserts from one of the other lenses from the kit and install it to...
Top two are Eagle Pair® 190-540nm & 800-2000nm Laser Safety Goggles.
Bottom left is Eagle Pair® 190-540nm Slip Over Laser Safety Goggles.
Bottom right is from Lazerer.

Greetings,
I ordered an item from a site in China that sent a tracking number beginning in "EE" that was shipped Express Mail International via the US Postal service.
The package was "Accepted" on 12/30/11 at 3:35pm and "Processed Through Sort Facility" on 12/30/11 at 9:05pm. A little while...
Greetings,
Will I be able to see the dot on a 200mw 532nm green with these Eagle Pair goggles from Survival Laser? They say 20% visible light transmission.

Thanks and Happy New Year!
