Hi there I have been on the forum for days now reading and reading and getting way to many ideas. Currently I have 39 windows open (most of them this forum) eek
I love reading about everyone’s projects but I end up getting more confused the more I read
About who to buy from?
Which heatsink material is better?
Who can I trust (of the people that sell cheap or not so cheap lasers – outside of the forum)
So I am going to try it this way.
I am looking to build 2 lasers for starters
1 RED (200mw 630-650nm) And 1 InfraRed (100mw 808nm)
Hoping to find those in a good quality module that will meet the specs it says it has.
*Do the module’s always include the driver? Pretty sure that is the case.
*Does anyone sell a timer circuit attached to their module?
*AM hoping to find a stock host that will hold everything that has some type of safety lock keylock .. Is there such a thing?
*What is the best material for a heatsink for these 2 laser diodes. Is there one that will work for both types and power?
*What is the most commonly used material for the host?
Is there one set of goggles that will cover both of these lasers?
I love the custom made hosts etc but international shipping is a little scary. I am hoping for contacts in North America.
Ok Thanks for sticking with me this long I know I have a lot of questions. I do appreciate any and all responses. I have tried to do my homework here but your expertise will be appreciated.
Thanks so much …. Jan
