No offence mate but don't attempt without a milling machine I say that's rubbish I built both my 445 and 638 modules for a 4w projector with basic tools and no experience it's really not that hard a bit of a pain lining up corrective optics but all in all I enjoyed it and saved heaps on buying...

Well Its been a while since Ive been here thought an update was in order! so the 3w blue project turned into a around 4W RGB build and since that I have built two 2w 445's and have the parts for another 4W RGB and ........ a 16W 445 is on the cards I have everything except the 8 m140's also...

As far as chinese laser supplys go I've had great service from mierlight and from all accounts dhom and cni are decent lasers but I have to agree with KGB I just bought a 1.3w cni 650 and now I have an expensive paperweight. I built a 1w 638 and I'm much happier with that, it cost about $350 to...

Yep, when I start things I tend to get a little obsessed :D I would love a set of wides, I have a wedding to sort maybe if that doesn't kill the bank too much they will be on the cards :eg: I'm a big fan of DTR's diodes The M140's are nuts and the mitzi 500mw's arrived a couple of days ago and I...

Took you up on that offer :) had another play today, rebuilt the duel 445, improved the mirror mounts (they still need some work) the toe is too short but they are getting better. and I will make a cover for it when I get some sheet aluminium tomorrow. fired it up got a very visible beam in full...

Thanks!! You have some fantastic pictures, I hope you don't mind if I steal some of your idears! I'm learning heaps and spending Heaps haha But I must admit I'm keen to do as much of the fabricating myself I have always learnt best by having a crack! Cheers

The guy I bought it off has promptly replyed to my messages and appears to be making an honest attempt to make it right, I figured I would give him a week or so to sort it out before I do anything myself, do you have any idear if cni's repair costs are reasonable? The module has done less than 5...

yep I spent an afternoon in the shed having a play just using bits and pieces I had laying around, ended up changing the mirror mounts the next day filed the holes square and set the mirrors in them, they aint that pretty but they seem to work well and quick to make The red was a 1.3w 650nm cni...

HI there I'm Keen as on one of these presses! How much would I be looking at incl shipping to NZ cheers James

Right heres a few Pictures I made a module for the M140 out of a peice of extruded aluminium angle and a old psu heatsink Made some mirror mounts from some alloy angle and I have throwen in a couple pics of the 1.3w cni that I am hating at the moment, the 10mm lines were too hard to see so I...

The 1.3w 650 cni arrived, it's bloody awful I'm measuring a 10mm plus beam at the module and its soooo faint I have a 6+ year old rubbish 150mw out of a stepper motor laser that's much brighter I'm gutted

Most items have arrived but I have decided to go a little further down the rabbit hole, bought a 1.3w 650 cni and now I'm on the hunt for a 532 I have a 100mw but that won't do looking at another cni prob a 1w I had a play with 1 m140 they are bright little suckers ill throw up a beam shot in...

As soon as all the bits arrive and I actually start the build ill start throwing some pictures up I'm very new to this also :) PBS cube arrived today I also got impatient and repowered one of my old stepper motor lasers with a 100mw green, must admit I'm watching the letterbox like a hawk can't...

so far the blue modules, galvo set, tec pads, mirrors and power supplies have arrived still waiting for drivers, heatsinks, pbs cube and the all important goggles Wow ARG I now understand what you mean about needing the waveplate those galvo mirrors are tiny, haha a lot different from the...

Thanks for the advice goggles are also on the way

Hi there, after a week or two of obsessively reading through posts on this site I have decided to throw myself in the deep end and learn by getting my hands dirty :yh: I have been mucking around with old cheap projectors with low power and dmx only for about 7 years I also have some old martin...
