Hey guys,
I am going to build my first laser projecter (sorry wallet)! I just wanted to make sure i have everything before i start on my project. I plan on using a soundcard dac and spaghetti. I want to mainly do beam shows that sync to music. I am terrible with making shows so i picked spaghetti because i heard it was easy. Here is the list so far:
Computer case: 40 (Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Elite 360 RC-360-KKN1-GP Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mini Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases)
Soundcard dac: 40 (i already have the item from DX...just need the laserboy correction amp)
Galvos (SP20): 185 (sk8 can you get this price for me?)
Laser: 140 (Industrial TTL Green laser Module 100mW w/TEC£>5¡«500mW green laser module£>Laser&lighting products£>www.0-like.com)
spaghetti: 50
Wires ect: 20
Fans: 20-30 (i was told i need brush less fans...any idea where i can get these that will match the case?
Adapters, Power supplies, ect(where should i get these by the way? There is a plug on the case that is a three prong like on computers...Could i power the internals using that?): 20-30?
Possibly a slab of aluminum for the case - 30
Switches(where do i put these in? bridging 4 and 17 on the 25 pin adapter?) - 10-20
That is all for now...tell me if i need to add anything.
Also how do i power everything? I heard you can fuse the connections but i dont really know how to do that/what it means.
It seems like common practice to put the DAC outside of the scanner. Does it matter if i put it inside of the scanner? Also i will need to tune the amp. I dont have an oscilloscope. Would someone that does be willing to? Ill pay shipping both ways/labor fees and anything else you can think of.
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate the help.
