Hello all! I'm Chris. Mid-20's living in Pennsylvania.
I've always been interested in laser technology and applications. Recently decided to wade back into the hobby. I hope to outfit my 3D printer with a laser for engraving, possibly cutting, soon.
I also hope to start collecting some decent lasers. My first laser of any consequence was a 1 watt 445nm which I bought from dtr here some 3 years ago. That diode has degraded over the years, and I plan on upgrading it to a 1.4w diode. I also hope to put together a 405nm from an old HDDVD player I have laying around, and have plans for a 520nm.
I've been learning the casting of aluminum and hope to start pouring my own hosts. Maybe, at some point, some copper work would be possible.
Anyway, just here to learn and contribute as best I can.
