    My second release of my laser label maker is now out! (v0.2)

    Note to mods: I do not intend to sell this software, it is 100% free, open source software(FOSS) - This is just something I am developing for my own pleasure that I think many members of this community may find of use - even if it is still very basic! Release notes for Laser Label Maker v0.2...

    My first attempt at making a custom laser label/warning sign designer program

    Here is a .zip file with pictures showing of various aspects of the program - looks very rough atm and has its missing features but i will continue development! As with the actual making of stickers - no clue yet, shrink the image down? 😂

    My first attempt at making a custom laser label/warning sign designer program

    Hey guys, I have not been finding many ways to create my own custom laser labels so i spent 3 hours+ this evening throwing this program together! Its missing features/functionality and is pretty rough around the edges but i shall improve on this little project in the coming days/weeks! Here...

    Is it ok to run a laser diode from a 3v to 5v step up converter with a resistor?

    Thanks very much - I thought it might be ok but given I am new to this building hobby thought I should confirm! You set my fears at ease 😂

    Is it ok to run a laser diode from a 3v to 5v step up converter with a resistor?

    Hi everyone, I am getting back into the hobby again. My main question is the title really - the diode i plan to operate is a 405nm 150mw diode(a SLD3236VF). The forward voltage ranges from 5v to 5.3v max - with a driving current of 140-150ma. I plan to connect a 3.7V 18650 Li-ion battery to a...

    Voltage drop of SLD3236VF 405nm laser diode

    Is that not the operating voltage? Im pretty confused, sorry.

    Voltage drop of SLD3236VF 405nm laser diode

    I originally posted this on Reddit and someone told me to repost on here: Hi everyone, I am on my first custom built laser project and am really struggling to determine the voltage drop of this diode so i can create the correct dummy load to adjust the driver to a safe current output without...
