Has everyone forgotten about the O-like goggles? Yeah if you want BAD goggles thats a great place to start. Pretty much performs exactly as you described: "Slightly reduces power like the WL goggles".

The total age of this thread is, but the post before me was on 9/2/13 and the post before that was 8/28/13. Additionally, this is a sale thread, I've spent money on one of these products and attempting to get feedback through a sale thread is normal. I do appreciate that you are trying to...

Hey bud! I finally got the money together to buy the diode and stuff from DTR, so I'm going to need that stuff I ordered from you soon! I PM'd you again about a week ago and didn't hear back yet so it probably got lost somehow. Just thought I'd drop in the thread and give you the heads up...

Patience is a virtue :na:! But really, I think you should give it an endurance test sometime when you have a slot in your schedule. It would be interesting to see how long it takes for the diode to drop, say, 20% in power with this beauty. It might convince some of the other dedicated builders...

Woah there, mount it on the shark? Why not coat the shark in them! Call him Photon. Because that's what he'll be: one massive ball of photons. :D

It's probably indeed a 405nm violet, which fluoresces into a bright blue on paper which you seem to be shining it on. What you're describing seems to be what I experience a lot when I drive a PHR-805T too high, or if I get a specially inefficient diode. The diode goes LED (which we...

Nice find. I wonder how long it'll be before someone uses one of these in a build just to say that they have. It wouldn't surprise me in the least. :D +1 Nice find.

Wow. Another amazing build. Not to mention insanely stable. Good job wolf, I hope it treats you well (and you treat it well also!). :D

Double-posting is frowned upon here. Triple-posting is even worse. If you need to add more information to your previous submission and nobody else has posted yet, edit your last post. Please delete your to other posts and edit the info into your first.

Just..... just take all of my money... and my reps... :worthy: :worthy: :worthy:

Ah, i epoxied them in place, and also electrical taped the ends of it so that if it somehow dislodges anyway, it wont make metal-to-metal contact with the case. Thank you for the concern, but I've already got a massive first post so I didn't want to clutter it up more with extra text :D...

Thanks a bunch! I will take your advice, but it seems strange to me that they both died under very similar circumstances, and I've never had such issues before with the LM-317 oscillation on my old LPC-815 build, nor any of my PHR-805 builds. I always assumed that the regulators were sufficient...

This is something that I am well aware of, and I'm glad that you could point it out because I forgot to mention it in my first post. I'm going to encase the driver in electrical tape and then shrink-wrap it. Also, all of the solder joints will be shrink-wrapped or covered with electrical tape...

My father owns and frequently uses these types of lasers on his self defense and target shooting handguns, and since I got into lasers he's always asked me if I could do two things: one, burn the ass hairs off the neighbor's dog from across the street (dog annoys him all day with barking, and...

Just got my new LPC-825. Gotta +1 clif when I can, the diode pressed into a copper module with leads attached without me asking :P, makes life easy for us. The diode fired up and after testing it on some matches at 10ft it is definitely the good ol' single mode I remember. I've been using my...

Oh, I'm sorry that it sounded like I didn't like him. He was actually the FIRST (not kidding, the absolute first) person to help me out on the forum. I think he spent more time viewing threads started by beginners than a large portion of the veterans on the server. No offence meant to anyone in...

Why don't you just steal all of my reps!!! It's beyond me how someone can be so creative and just share this with anyone who wants it. You're like the Santa Claus of lasers dude. +1 when I can. :D

You know what they say, live and let die... jk, there's no need to feel bad, I just like to tease everyone on the forum when they slip up. Because if I do it, then someone else is less likely to come along and start something over it. I remember when TechJunkie was around, and those flamewars...

Laik, I love you, but you're killing me. That data shows 1050mA at about 615mW. He's pushing 1026 and hitting 778mW. Check your seeing balls man, I think the lasers are getting to them! :san: EDIT: Even if you calculate the power boost from using the G2 lens versus the acryllic lens ( 20% in...

Flexable PCB? Sounds innovative but I'm sure that there's reasons for it to not be commercial: high production cost, issues with it staying in place, issues with soldering, issues with the circuit breaking while flexing the PCB, issues with it making contact with places it's not supposed to etc...
