I built this little guy last week before flying out to New York. Now that i'm back, I had some time to take pics and make a video. Basically I had this host lying around for a while, and after getting back into lasers, I decided to build a 445 out of it. The heatsink is a direct press-fit copper...
First, some background info... So, as many of you know, i've been out of the laser hobby for a while. A good two years. All this time I had a PHR-803T diode laying around. What got me back into the hobby, was my buddy going camping, and asking me if I could build him a laser to take along. I...
Any interesting things going on right now? Ie. new discoveries, inventions, etc...
I dug around and couldn't find anything, but maybe i'm not looking hard enough.

Hey, I recently got XBL, and was playing GTA IV today, but I can't figure out how to chat with people. I have a headset and everything, so how do you do it?
Hey guys!
I had a question.
So, I bought a router today and set it up manually through its IP address, without using the wizard. The reason for this is because the wizard would not recongnize the ethernet connection, so I did a manual setup through WI-FI. You see, I did it on a laptop and it...
Up for sale is a LCC Diode from a 6x GGW sled.
It is harvested and the pins are cleaned, and it can output over 250mW at 420mA.
I've never tested it, but it is from a brand new sled...
It's yours for $15 (shipping included) :)
Edit:
I checked and turns out I already used the harvested...

Hey there!
Anyone heard of the new Energizer Titaniums?
How do they compare to the e2 Lithiums?
Ironically, about 2 months ago, I thought to myself "it is about time for Energizer to come out with titanium based batteries".
Hey everyone!
It's me and i'm back! Well, almost...
Many of you are wondering why I was gone. Well, the main reason is because I had to move into my new house (which took a long time) and on top of that I had college, court cases, and plenty of other good stuff :P
So, I wasn't really around...

So, this is how it all started...
One day, I was checking LPF, when I saw that I had a PM. Naturally, I opened it. Well, whaddya know? An email from the CEO of WL, the one and only Steve...
So, I wanted to clean my 405-G-1 lens with some spectrographic grade acetone. Although, I am a little concerned about how volatile it is. Is it possible that it could dissolve the AR coating?
Hey everyone!
I'm sure some of you play Paintball.
I need to buy a 1/8BSPP hose to refill my paintball tanks from, and I can't find one anywhere except for Pyramydair, where the shipping is $10...
I am sure there are some airgun enthusiasts out there :)
If anyone has one, I would be interested in buying an Evanix AR6, and AirForce Condor, or an AirForce Talon. If you have one you would like to sell, please post here with your asking price :)
