Tiny Purple Fury:eg:
This is my first review of a laser I build and there's quite a long story behind it
28/9/13 lazeerer the man send the package with all the nice parts including a free x-lens
26/10/13 I received a letter from the german customs saying that I should come and open my package for checking the value of it
27/10/13 I went there they said they must see whats inside to know if I have to pay taxes. I opened it and they saw the laser diode in module with the lenses and host and claimed that it may the illegal to import and send it to a testing agency like the FDA but for Germany
24/11/13 I received another letter from the customs in which they said that they will send it back on the 28th of november
27/12/13 lazeerer received the package again packed it new send it back and shared the shipping costs with me thanks: again)
11/1/14 I finally received it and it just passed trough the customs :wave:
So you see this was a long torture for me and angelos but now I can say it was worth it :yh:
P.S. For everybody shipping lasers to Germany make sure it's not declared as gift and it's in a small package otherwise it WILL be checked for value and it happens the same thing as with mine !
Now to the laser! I don't have a LPM but lazeerer was so kind plotted my diode and set the x-drive so that it's putting 900-1000mW
yes I wrote 1W in the title sounded nice :shhh:
Now after all this boring text some BEAMSHOTS
I only had my crappy phone camera maybe I can get a DLSR in few days for that
For size comparison I have put it next to a c6 (sorry no bananas for scale were available )
Some huge 1" uranium marbels look awesome with this laser
Now the best one IMO
