Your annotation is greatly appreciated, though I probably should have endeavored to be clearer in my original post, I was specifically asking if the use of quality cubes instead, would result in superior divergence collimation than to your suggested knife edging, the use knife edging modules...

Well they're Malaysian, not Chinese, but you're generally accurate, the auction itself really is bereft with spelling mistakes and out-right confusing sentences. They don't even tell buyers that they'll be receiving a nice box to house the laser, either. Therefore, they're really doing...

DTR stocks an impressive array of diodes however I'm pretty familiar with electronics and so would prefer to just buy the diode. Drivers I can do, diodes... not for a few decades yet. Presently however I'm thinking about just combining the light from a ~ 5 watt blue 445nm diode together with a...

Here's the link, I would like to know the true power output instead of eyeballing it, but I'd bet my hat that it's about 150 mW. Surprisingly brighter than the laser 301 for the same money, once you factor in the free charger and battery. It's the better bang for the buck. 405nm purple Violet...

have you seen this? I'd like to know what mirror arrays and cubes he used, but wouldn't using cubes result in low divergence than knife-edging? . violet is one of my favorite colors, though I haven't decided on trying to combine, with the aid of a dichroic mirror, 445 nm with ~650 to get a...

I bought 3 violet laser pointers on ebay recently, the ubiquitous pen for $2, a laser 301 with the exploding star cap for $5.99 and an un-designated laser pointer out of Malaysia with the dubiously long auction title listing "405nm purple Violet Focasing Laser Beam Pointer Gun Transmiter Device...

I've seen a lot of these 1 watt 405nm laser modules on ebay and have also thought about cannabilizing it for the dioide and optics, as doing some astronomy laser pointing and then swapping out for hand-engraving would make for a very versatile handheld. Now granted, Violet is about the worst...

Thanks for the replies, Astralist, Paul & Laserbee. I added the software to the AVG anti-virus exception/exclusion list and everything seems to be operating nominally without any signs of heuristic virus infection. Just out of curiosity, is there a reason for the false positive? Is the LPM...

Hey Astralist, thanks for this free software, it looks gnarly and really fits the criteria I was looking for as a new hobbyist trying to wet-my-feet. Unfortunately however I tried to download the software Vitronuzz from both the original post of the thread & from your more recent post on the "...
