Damn that's awesome, looks pretty complicated though.

 

[andy_con]

lol its not a simple build

!
Awesome!

Why are the blue modules different? :-?

 

[andy_con]

cos the beams need to be at 90 degrees to each other so i can combine them in a cube.

 

[jamilm9]

sweet plus one

$$$$$$$ lasers
Whats the weight & pic of the power adaptor.

 

[andy_con]

no idea of the weight.

when i get round to the psu ill post pics

No, I mean, why aren't they the same model? Or am I missing something here, lol?

 

[andy_con]

they are the same models, all laserwave

Hey andy, I know the two blues in this particular instance are polarized correctly to use the cube, but what if someone just had two laser modules with the same polarization? Could one module be mounted differently? uhh... I guess it would have to be sideways ;D Or is there some other creative way of overcoming the polarization issue?

 

[andy_con]

mount sideways or use expensive complex optics to turn the beam

 

[andy_con]

picked up the box yesterday and its a work of art!! the workmanship is second to none. its 100% perfect.

Why such tiny fans? They'd be screamers to push any decent amount of air - I'd want no less than 80mm fans on something like this.... (yea I know it's not your scanner but yeesh)

 

[andy_con]

theres no need for big noisy fans as i have a bug alum heat sink

 

[Cyparagon]

But the modules you're using are air-cooled. You even said on PL:

... laserwave modules dont need a alum heat sink and therefore shouldnt get hot
