Re: FS: 1.7W 445nm chrome portable laser with battery and 2 pairs of goggles. Bump!

Re: FS: 1.7W 445nm chrome portable laser with battery and 2 pairs of goggles. Yeah I fell in love with these hosts after getting a Jayrob kit for my first build, my 532nm. I can actually use that one with out worrying about getting goggles on everyone near by, so I plan on keeping it. I know...

Re: FS: 1.7W 445nm chrome portable laser with battery and 2 pairs of goggles. I'll entertain reasonable offers as well...

Name: Corey Location: Kansas City, MO Asking Price: SOLD. Up for sale is my favorite portable laser, my 1.7W 445nm laser. I built this about 2 years ago when I first got into lasers and found this site. Since being built, it has seen about 30 min of use in total. Although I love playing with...

My son is about to be 8, and he handles mine all the time, but he treats it like a loaded gun, has his own set of goggles, and most of all I am always there to supervise. We treat it like its dangerous, because they are!

I just tested this with my 445nm. I couldnt even get white paper to burn from a foot :yabbem: Put a black spot on it and bam! It burned right up.... dang it!

This is amazing! I am going to have to find someone local with an LPM and have mine tested out... not expecting anything close to this, but it would be nice just to know.

If the quality of your dot was noticeably cut off or it wasnt round, then you would have something to worry about. It sounds to me like you just have it coming out at a slight angle, but that its still clearing the aperture, so you have nothing to worry about!

Re: Wicked Lasers Arctic 1watt Nice man! I WANNA SEE PICS!

Dont worry man I dont think anyone was making fun of you, they are just saying its the reality of the hobby.... lasers (besides cheapy red and greens) cost more money...

I too burned my curtains covering my sliding glass door. They are maroon plastic slats, and i didnt even realize it until I smelled smoke!

Oh man this is getting me excited! I cant wait for these diodes to fall in price just a wee bit more... I dont want to spend more than $100 bucks on a diode, just isnt that practical for me... Now if I was loaded, I'd buy all of these available on eBay!

Its "common" so some people have that, others dont. Either way as long as the full beam is leaving the aperature (meaning none of it is being cut off by the cap) then you're good...

500mw green lasers can be had for $400-$600 and are remarkable quality (from the right source of course).

NO! The battery isnt going to effect the power output much, because your driver is what determines the current, not the battery. Depending on your driver, 1 battery may not even power it. If you are using a linear drive, it would still probably get enough forward voltage to power the diode...

Congrats man! :beer: Take some nice beam pictures and pictures of the laser and write up a review if you have time!
