First selfmade BlueRay 405nm Laser

[Raveman]

Hi all,

this is my first posting here and i want to show you the Pics from my first selfmade Laser with a Laser-Diode from a broken BlueRay-Drive i bought at ebay.

Here you see the Housing i used for the Laser......it was a pneumatic cylinder


at the next step I have made the fit for the laser diode recording on the lathe.


next step is the milling and drilling for the fan




ok...this was the first part of the tread

Here the seconde part:
at the next I have the fan and copper diodes recording used



finally i soldered the the LD-Driver



....and at the End i insert the Collimator and set the Laser into a Holder



.....and the Laser was ready to burn :beer:

Cool build! I like the unusual components used

The Driver is for a input of 5V to 9V and has a various Current to 500mA. He can used for Red and Blue Laser-Diodes.
I use a LiPo-Battery with 7,4V and the Current for the BlueRay-Diode is fixed to 300mA. There is no switch mounted so the Laser and the fan is starting directly then the Battery is connected.

Hmmm interesting. Do you know the drive/diode name by any chance?

 

[Raveman]

Thankx,

i think allso......in my workshop i have a big sampling of Metal-Part who are waiting to use for constructions.....thats my way.

At the next i will posting my first Red Laser

For the Diode i have no Informations, but the Driver you can find on
Insaneware Deluxe
....but he is to large for inserting into a Aixiz-Modul. For me no problem because the Aixiz-Moduls are...... only my mind....too bad for heatsink.
I use only copper for the Diodes

Nono I meant the blu ray drive, not the driver.. Sorry for the confusion. All these almost similar names for different things

No Problem..... i have found the Drive-Name :

" LG BluRay Brenner Laufwerk BH10LS30 "
