Hey guys,
I really love the fat beam 532's and have been eyeing this unit linked below. I would prefer a 300mw but can't find anything larger than this 200mw.
Some questions I have is whats your overall 2 cents on this laser? Can the module and driver be made into a portable handheld? I am fine with a short duty cycle of 60-45 seconds on off maybe less if I would be able to build a handheld fat beam. If a handheld build is possible I would buy 2 of these. I don't have a lab laser yet so I would enjoy it as is but would love to build something unique out of one of these if its a good idea.
Also does anyone have a vendor link that I can purchase a 12mm dpps 532nm in 700mw or better yet 1W with a driver to put in a custom host? Maybe this host which I ordered from Ehgemus if he can make it to fit 12mm that is. If not then I will find another custom host. Most of my searches seem to be modules suited more for lab style lasers. Maybe they're the same thing I'm not sure since I'm new to building. I am already building a 520nm 1.4w but honestly 532's are my favorite laser atm.
Thanks
Jeff
