Dropped my laser from 10 feet onto concrete...

[Uranium]

And all my lenses fell out. In the process of cleaning, aligning, jbweld-ing.

It still lases though. Woot Idk how many times i dropped this thing.

Anything like this ever happen to you?

Maybe you need to invent the worlds first laser safety harness. N/D

 

[Uranium]

i should, but i probably wont. A problem though was i super glued the threads last time i adjusted it, so i had to use a pipe wrench and a vice to get it apart. It's scratched up really bad now. Any ideas on making it look better? I was thinking just using a lathe to cut some alu off...

 

[iwannapony]

NEVER SUPER GLUE LASER PARTS

Big mistake.

Super glue vapors will coat lenses.

Super glue vapors will coat lenses.

i learned that... Luckily acetone takes it off.

How about a magnetic strap that goes on your wrist or around the middle of your hand?

Aluminum is paramagnetic...

10 feet fall into concrete, yikes, I think your lucky, lasers are more fragile than our phones today.

Lulz, i dropped it from that height many times.

10 feet is quite a drop, you're lucky it still works. How did you manage to drop it from that height any?

I've had them roll off a table a couple of times, no damage from that so far, but 10 feet... i'd have to throw it up ;p

I hope you don't have like some sort of undiagnosed nerve problem. I mean, it's just bizarre to drop things that frequently. Especially expensive/delicate things.... even more so if it's happening in situations where you'd think you'd be gripping it harder say when it's dangling out a window.

Well then I've got a good idea where you could be using that superglue.

Is this one of those Viasho handhelds?
