My First Build! Cool heatsink/control Idea. (Blu Ray)
I understand I overcomplicated my build, but I wanted total control over everything that went on and had power going to it. And the actual aixiz module itself can be removed if I want, and the thing will still work, if I wish. I liked this build.
I used a simple processor heatsink out of an old computer I had broken a while ago, and drilled out with a 1/2 inch bit. I had to wiggle it around a tad to make sure it fit not too tight, but just right.
The PSU is out of the same computer, I had to locate the correct wires with correct voltages (2 12v wires, and 1 PSU_ON wire) and put them to ground, each with switches.
Far left switch is PSU_ON, middle is fan on, right is laser on. Wired so that they must be turned on in order, or it won't work.
Laser itself is a phr803t with rkcstr driver, regular acrylic aixiz. 12vdc into the rkcstr, approx 110mw.
Now for the pictures! keep in mind the camera I'm using is a crappy camcorder as a camera, takes bad quality pictures, but I'm getting a new camera soon.
As I said earlier, bad beamshots/resolution, but I wanted to show off my first build.
I'm working on a portable build next. One less bulky.
Thanks for lookin!
