do you know its invisible?
you will not be able to see it and will possibly blind you without you even knowing it hit your eye. not the best first build

Yes i know its invisible... Im setting another basic 5mw red diode exacly above it, that way i will have an estimate of where it actually is. and i think i have enough common sense to not point it at my eyes....
