Hi guys,
I have a new 465nm build I completed and it's gotta be my favorite so far! I've had it maybe a week and I am now starting to get some binding in the lens when I go to adjust the focus. The diode is open can so I don't want to do anything inside the module.. is there anything I can...
Hi guys,
I placed an order one week ago for 2 identical Sanwu lasers: Striker series 7watt 445nm. Everything has been quiet and I have not received any tracking information, however, today I received a package from them! I'm very impressed that it only took 7 days from the time I ordered to...
Hi guys.
I completed my NDB7875 today and it’s a beast. My previous blue build was with an M140 and was maybe 1.2 watts whereas this one is likely around 2.4 watts.. I’ve never been able to set things on fire before lol!
Needless to say I’ve got the laser bug bad now. I want to go for a near 1...
Hi guys,
After about a 5 year hiatus I've dusted off some of my old builds and have the laser bug once again lol. I have some new parts on the way but I also have components from when I built my lasers years ago.
I've searched up and down but for some reason I can't find an answer to my...
Hi all,
I have successfully built laser #2: M140 @ 1.25A and it is simply fantastic. I have not added pictures yet so please forgive me but the 70D is coming out today ;)
It is safe to say that I now have the laser itch.. big time.
I decided when I got my M140 that if I did another build, an...
Hi all,
I have had my M140 diode from DTR for weeks now and I finally got the funds to place a nice order from Survival Lasers. Even though I have been ready to order the last week or so, they were out of stock of the safety goggles as well as the tripod but they got them back in stock!
I...
Ordered some batteries from Fasttech and the package arrived today. Transit time from China to Cali was about 9 days. Packaging is sufficient and all looks good.
I tested each battery before charging:
#1: 4.08v
#2: 3.03v
#3: 2.59v?!
#4: 4.06v
Hmm. Don't know about that one but we'll see. Pics...
Hi all,
I just wanted to share a couple images of some parts I made at work. My company builds parts primarily out of 6Al-4V Titanium for the Aerospace industry and many other large entities using additive manufacturing. Additive manufacturing for those of you who are not familiar is more...
I recently built by first laser with an LPC-826 from Hightechdealz and everything went great. I of course wanted to build another laser and decided on an M140 build.
I placed my order to DTR through his website on friday evening for the M140 in copper module and leads as well as a glass 3...
Hello,
I recently took some pictures of my laser for you all and I was wondering how to get the photo to just show in the post rather than having to click on a link.
I've tried using the "picture" button and adding my link but all that does is make a tiny little image that you can right click...
This is my first high powered laser and first build as well. Went smooth.

Hello all,
My name is Jon but you can all call me Haze if you'd like.
I've always had a fascination with lasers and was all too familiar with what wicked lasers offered (wow, they're products sure have changed). On a whim, I recently went to fry's and got a 5mw green laser (532nm). My cat has...
