Custom 405 nm laser transit

Final render before chips start flying.


(First 2 holes are for set screws, 3rd and larger one is where the switch will be)
All good?

Thete should be a groove down the middle for quick.sighting. it can be a V ggroove about 3/166 deep

High quality optics are very important. Don't scrimp when it comes to the optics.

I'm using a 405nm coated 15mm PBS and a 99% reflect blue dichroic. I also got a broadband mirror as well just in case.

Can't really do that since the covers are on top and 3/16 thick.

Just make a 1/8 x1/16 deep score line then. or what is possablé . let the chips fly! !Does Bloompile like the drawing? if so

What just happened?

The bug has been planted.

 

[bloompyle]

Either setup works for me, I don't care really if there's a groove...doesn't affect the electronics.

I like the current setup.

Let the Chips Fly!

Good luck finding a lab enclosure this size and more sturdy than this. It is basically a brick.

 

[trussmonkey25]

Thats it, a brick. I wanted a jobsite laser that will easilly be clamped or set on a flat surface. now its up to Bloompyle to get beam to alighn with host

 

[bdgreenb]

I've been dying for some progress! Great moves crouse!

 

[bloompyle]

Can't wait to get to work on this beautiful host

Guess who's working all night building and aligning this bad boy Drivers are finally in, and it's time to get to work!

I will post picture updates for those who wants to follow along

Color coded it a bit. The switch is using only blue wire, the diodes + is always red, and the neg on one is white, and the other, black. Trying not to lose myself in wiring here Then there will be driver wires too, I will try to keep the same scheme (white/red and black/red) to keep some order.

Enjoy the updates as they come!

Neato! Looking forward to the results.

She lives! Hooked everything up and did a quick check for operation. Did minor checks along the way of each diode, but it's nice to see them both up Now time to clean it up and spend the next 12 hours aligning :crackup:
