6x vs 8x abilites

[jayrob]

You can get a good estimate from looking at the graph that FrancoRob has been updating. (known 8X builds)

Hey Jay....
I can't for the life of me find that FrancoRob "Graph" following
your link... Am I missing something...:thinking:

[Meatball]

scroll down. It post number #393

 

[jayrob]

That's strange... I click the link and it goes right to the post.

It's post #393 on page 16 of Dave's 8X thread...

Laserbee:
Ok that the 6x is a good burner, but not so much : the plastic sheet I cutted has the same thickness of a standard paper sheet, 0.1mm thick (90 grams/sqm)....I wrote it in the movie description.
The light alloy plate I put behind the plastic is a 3 mm thick....
P.S.: I just checked the Jay address to my link, it works perfectly for me....

Misterwilling:
If I understood well, you're waiting to install your 8x in a custom host! When this will happen, please inform me, I'll add you in the 8x owners list with the mA and mW you have decided to maintain....
350mA - 440mW give a point falling exactly in the Larry and Mike curves, while it's the first time that I read that someone of you guys has pushed his BDR-203 8x diode to 420mA!!!:can: (but I may be wrong....)

I'd like to share my opinion on the 6x diodes...
I bought 2. One I destroyed because my soldering iron is a piece of crap. My fault.
The other died at 205mA. I got 200mW at 205mA with LarryDFW's hi-power lens.
It was a weak diode. For $70 a piece, the 6x is not worth the price. I would have rather spent that ~$140 on an 8x than 2 ruined 6x diodes. I know some of these diodes are capable of MUCH higher power (wannaburn pushed a couple to >300mW) but the gamble aint worth the price. I don't have heaps of cash layin around.
I will replace the 6x with an 8x in a couple months, but after that, I'm done with the tiny 5.6mm diodes.
I like the Class IV range better anyway... there the diodes don't whine and cry when you run a couple amps through them. And no LOC or Blu-ray can burn as well as >2W of 808. >

Oh... I forgot to mention that I've got a PHR doing 120mW with plastics and 158mW!!! with Larry's lens. At about half the current the 6X diode died at. The sled only cost me $13.

Thanks guys... with your help I found it.... here is the link...:yh:

@jayrob... your link is pointing to page #16 of the Thread and its on page #10

@FrancoRob..... I missed that... thanks for correcting me...
I should have known that 3mm was a little thick...:yabbem:

[jayrob]

Hmmm.... that means that many of my links that I have referred to are not necessarily correct.

Because on my computer, it is the same post number, but on page 16.

So I guess it has to do with the screen size/resolution. For how many posts will be per page. Or how many pages per thread...

Weird, Jays link works for me as well. I don't see post #393 on page 10.

http://www.laserpointerforums.com/la...90&page=16#393

 

[lasersbee]

Yeah... that is weird... I only have 12 pages total on Daves 8X thread...

I tried the other LPF themes and nothing changed...
I'm using FF and my screen is set to 1024 X 768...

I just tried it with IE and Jay's page #16 link now works but not my #10 link...

On IE there are 19 pages total on Daves 8X thread...
Don't tell me we need to double link for the IE and FF users.... :wtf:

I've got my screen settings at 1280 X 1024 with Windows XP.

My browser is Firefox...
Jay

 

[k1kb0t]

1280 x 800 in Windows XP, using Firefox. On the Mac side I'm not sure the screen resolution but it is a bit higher than 1280 x 800 and I'm using Safari.

Can't you change the number of posts you see per page in the CP?

 

[lasersbee]

Hey Jay...
what versiom of FF are you using...

I'm using FF 3.0.1 on Win2000 Pro...


Jerry

 

[k1kb0t]

Firefox version 3.0.11

 

[jayrob]

3.0.11...

The only thing that makes sense is the difference in screen resolution...

Or, maybe it has something to do with the LPF display mode settings?? That would make sense!

I am using 'Dark Shadows V3'.
Jay

 

[k1kb0t]

I'm using the default setting which is 25 posts per page, unless I miscounted. The selections through the CP allow for 10 through 40 posts in 10 post increments.
