495nm 12mm MODULE: I never got around to putting this into a build, and has less than 30 minutes of run time. This 12mm module is likely running ~110mW, and takes 1 li-ion battery to power on. This is actually my favourite wavelength diode in my collection but I've had it for months and still...

Electrical engineering isn't my strong point so I have no idea where to go from here. I've got some tiny li-ions on the way, (<80mAh, one is even 65mAh!) and I'm kinda stumped on how to charge them. At first I thought of using the TP4056, but then saw on the datasheet that the minimum appears...

473nm & 503nm Lasers Custom Builds ────────────────────────────── As most of us are aware of the new wavelength diodes, I took a stab at both of them and ended up getting some nice builds. All of the relevant information for these diodes were discussed here...

Not too long ago I had seen Paul saying that he had a couple of the newer 505nm diodes for sale. I had to grab one (to go with my 473nm, of course ;)) and asked him if he could put it in a module and install a driver on it. Sure enough he was willing. :D He had some trouble thanks to a bad...

Introducing the first test results of the RTA (Response Time Accelerator) technology from J.Bauer Electronics Test Results Peak output power: 59mW Wavelength: 532nm DPSS Total response time to peak: 6 seconds ──────────────────────────────────────────────── Peak output power: 864mW...

garbage thread Unless there's something I'm missing, I can't hard-deleted posts. Instead of soft deleting all the useless banter posts and having "post deleted by ep" for every message, moving them here makes them disappear. If this thread gets too "full" it can be pruned.

It's about time I put this thread together, here's how to assemble my hosts. I'd say it's easy to grasp, and the process is identical for every host I make. Materials All are included unless otherwise stated: Heatsink: The one shown in the image is threaded, however some are not and will...

To the Canadians on LPF, hope you're enjoying our 150th! :bday:

After making the copper heatsink for the M462, I had to rig this up to be 3D printed: Mind you, the bolt and nut weren't printed only the plastic part. I actually had to grind the nut smaller to prevent it from shorting to the host. Installing the contact board Build laid out After...

For everyone in the USA, if you're interested let me know if there's anything extra you'd like me to do for customs, ship the module separately, etc. If anyone remembers a thread I did a long while ago about something being on the diode window there was some sort of contaminant, here's an...

Wow okay so this turned out a lot better than I was expecting. I had originally traded a member for a NUBM44 project box build, and long story short I used the module from this build: Image taken by Crazlaser, who traded the build with me This is basically a win-win because I can use the rest...

07E Laser Box Build ______________________________________ I wanted to try something a bit different than what I've seen and done for laser hosts, so I went browsing for project boxes and found a really nice alu extrusion box and picked it up. I was planning on originally making this just a lab...

EP's Collection ────────────────────────────────────────✺ I actually wasn't going to post a collection thread as I keep the lasers I have in my signature but I thought it'd be a good place to show off the pictures I took with my fog machine. Yes, I'm a bit late to the party, about a year into...

So, basically since I was a kiddy my favourite drink has been OJ. I actually don't like pop, any type. Kinda weird I guess, what's your favourite?

EP's Custom Hosts Thread See something you like? I can make one just like it! Custom Orders ────────────────────────────────────────── I'm offering custom host/heatsink orders as a service, to prevent any kind of "traffic jam" situation I've come up with a queue. Whatever position you get...

I was surfing the forums and came across this site called "Opt lasers" Opt Lasers Has anyone ever bought from them, or had any experience with them? I know that they've got an account here by the name of "Tomorrow Systems" but they haven't been online in a few months. The shipping price is...

I managed to buy these three 14250s off of eBay, they're li-ion 3.7v batteries. These are half the size of an AA battery, and when I saw them I got ideas for tiny laser builds. Here's an idea of the size: Top to bottom: 18650, 16340, 14250 14250 vs 30mm module A custom pocket build with...

| Custom Hosts I'd say in probably a month or so I'll have enough equipment + time to be able to start making laser hosts, and I've been making some practice hosts and heatsinks just for experience. One of them (The pocket host, smallest one) was from my most recent thread, and a member had...

GITD Green Pocket Laser A Collaborative Effort __________________________________________________ A few months ago, around the end of March, I had the idea of getting a custom laser in the making while playing around with fasttech modules. I took a couple and experimented with them like rats...

So I thought I'd give a bit of time to my lathe, as one does, and started going at this piece of scrap stock. I had the idea of making a very small laser host out of it, here's how it turned out: Excuse the rough edges, I didn't put in the effort to fix it up quite yet. But as of now the...
