Hi laser lovers,
I've been playing around with a sort of unique project. I made an engraver that can burn images at a distance. I'd like to use it to do large pieces, and maybe to mark layouts for an artist to do their thing.
For the picture you see, I am using DTR's 7W NUBM44 V2 450nm Diode along with a G-8 lens. I find this works, but I would like the beam to be smaller where it contacts the wood.. which is about 5ft. away in this picture. It's not as precise as I would like, and I think that perhaps precision is more important than raw power (If I can get both that'd be great!)
Could I get some suggestions on what laser/lens combo will give me a sufficient combination of power and precision to reliably burn at a distance of 5-10ft.?
Thanks!
