Hello all,
Just got a 2W 445nM diode here:
2W Copper 445nm M140 Blue Laser Module w x Drive 405 G 2 Glass Lens | eBay
it works a treat, but gets hot quickly. The seller says "90 seconds on 30 seconds off with proper heatsinking". If I had a big enough heatsink (maybe even a water cooled one) - could I increase the "on" duty? It has a driver included (1.8A X-Drvie bucking laser driver).
I'd like to do engraving with this, and I need longer duty cycle...
many thanks
Thomas
