Hello, I recently bought a very very cheap collimating lens ($0.99) from China on ebay. I swapped the original lens for this to try it out and, to my surpise, it actually seemed to increase its cutting strength in wood. After about 5 seconds I noticed the laser was about half as bright as it should be and of course it can no longer cut or engrave anything.
Has anyone else tried these cheapo lenses before? Did the cheap lens break my laser, or was it just coincidence that my laser died right when I swapped lenses?
My laser is an unbranded 15w laser off ebay with an average of 6.5 watts. I bought it brand new about 10 days ago and I have not used it all that much yet.
