Back after a few years... 445nm Group Buy?

[xanatos]

I've been off of here for a few years - been playing with microcontrollers!

I don't see any GBs listed on the GB board - does anyone know if any are being planned? I'm looking for JUST the diodes, not assembled units or kits... 130s, 140s, 150s... anything I can get around a watt from.

Thanks for the info, and hello to all my old friends!

Hello there!
You can always get single diodes from DTR or Daguin, and some other people sell them
too from time to time. Look in the buy/sell/trade forum.
People have generally moved on from groupuys towards stocking up on projectors....

Thanks, Anselm!

Quick question - has anyone combined a pair of these with a combiner cube?

Off to the buy/sell/trade forum!

Yes, but a better option seems to be knife-edging with a pair of anamorphic prisms.

There are people over at PL that are combining up to six of these using knife-edge mirroring.

Just two through a cube is soooooo last week

Peace,

Thanks guys... a lot changes in a few years! I need to find out about knife-edge mirroring since I am a "MORE POWER!" kind of hobbyist...

I still have a few A140 diodes in stock that I never got around to listing on ebay. PM me if interested, I've been selling them for pretty close to my cost plus shipping. I think I have 2 or 3 still available.
