Those lasers runs on double AA batteries . I think you won't need goggles for those . I doubt a laser that small can damage your eyes (don't point it directly of your eyes of course) . It might cause you temporary flash blindness tho .. Just be careful while using one :)
Re: Build me a laser **405nm** for cutting
Well , you can buy one from SFLasers from here :
Arcane 2.0 405nm
I assume a 2.5w - 3w 445nm would be as strong or stronger than a 405nm 1w .
Since if you're doing cutting and slicing of items . You wouldn't be doing it from a far distance am I...
What are the cons of using a monocular as a beam expander ?
Ive seen some threads on those who use Monoculars as beam expanders and it seemed like it worked well for them .
But does it really take up a lot of light and power? How is it compared to a real Beam expander?
PS. They took of the...
Title says it all ,
Is there any Universal adapter out there for Jetlasers Beam expander?
Personally i would prefer a x10 (atleast) beam expander .
I searched on DL but they only have x2 with universal adapter .
JL seems to have a decent x10 Beam expander .
Is anyone capable of...
Anyhow, I heard 445nm laders have a huge divergence right ? Meaning it wouldn't burn at long distances .
I'm sure some of you have seen the WL video on it pooping 100 balloons . If I were to build a 3w 445nm laser will it do the same with G2 lenses ? or maybe a 3 Element glass ?
Does WL 445...
Anyways thanks guys for all the fast and useful answers
. xD
I'll be building my first laser soon if my diode even passes through the custom :( (Probably not a too DIY one)
thanks marcuspeh! that explains alot.
So now how do I not burn my driver ? is it fine to use any 2 x 3.7V battery to any driver as long as its not a boost driver ?
Hello all! I've been here for awhile now . I was wondering a lot about what kind of batteries do I use for what drivers . I heard if too much voltage is being emitted , it would fry the driver (and the diode??)
So the question here is what kind of batteries do I use for what kind of drivers ...
I see . I guess I really have to get a LPM machine thingy too huh .
How do you even adjust the watt anyways . I see a lot of voltage and current meter on pictures . What does it got to do with the Watt .
Not mentioning some who talked about stability ?
Seems like The amount of current...
By the way , Shakenawake. How long did your dominator 3w laser last you ? and on average how long do you use it a day ?
Thanks for all the knowledge . I'm sure I'll build one soon . I'll search up for guides around here . Went pass a few some time ago . I just like to be spoonfed :p I prefer a...
That explains a lot ! Wow .Didn't know there's such thing like this .
How would you recommend me to build my very own 3.5 - 4watt laser that could have a long Run cycle (about 3-5mins) with a wavelength of 445nm? Without over driving it too much of course .
No wonder lasers on official sites...
Damn , they look really cool O:
Looking forward to build my own laser so soon already :p
I have contacted B'LORD to purchase his Dominator 3w-3.5w . Hoping to get his reply soon . hehe .
Thanks for your quick response :) I live somewhere in asia :p I have never built my own laser before but i have owned 1 , 1.5w laser before (lastyear)
I have been interested in lasers ever since . My previous laser died on my because of overheating and dead diodes . Probably why im so...
