I figured that since "Bloompyle's Customs' was developed, this is probably the most accurate place to put this.
As some of you know either from direct speaking to at SELEM, or over PM, I am a bit out of the custom lasers game.
I am directing my focus more to my studies and research with optics and gas lasers.
Pointers just aren't the same for me, they don't provide the same excitement that I can get from placing an external HR in front of a HeNe creating an external cavity, getting more lines, etc. Testing gas and being able to take my experiments from my head to my systems, to paper. It's amazing
Words cannot explain the rush I get from conducting all the experiments and projects I've had building over the months. I have my own lab in my dorm. I finally have my optical rail, getting a monochrometer soon, all is good in the R&D department of my dorm room
So to all those that wanted me to build them a laser, I am sorry. If you have something truly cool, I would love to build it. (Yes Raffle, I am still building your pen(s)). Finishing up an RGB set, sending out a 520, and ordering the parts for another. Maybe building a 473 (you'll have a PM soon). I also have a rare WL build coming up as well.
However, after that, I will probably be done with builds unless you have something truly spectacular that you want my work with. I've had a blast working with Crouse and Sinner doing some cool stuff. That dual diode build really kicked my ass. This current LZCS Lazerer rebuild should really be something if I can figure out this button setup.
To put it in a nutshell.... Thank you everyone. It's been great. Lazerbeak, your work with my logo was FANTASTIC. It really is a damn awesome logo, you did an excellent job on that. You really should charge (what's your PP?)
This DOES NOT mean I will not be present. Just because I am not posting as often, I still read every day. I still stalk the gas section waiting for a chance to speak. That being said, we need more HeNe and Ar threads, no more CO2!
Recently repaired my Omni 150 PSU. Boy was that a pain... So you will see more of that beast (the tunable 8 line Omni 532). Unfortunately I have experience some catastrophic failure in my Uniphase 2101-10SLSC. Something caused an arc on a resistor lead that actually blew the resistor apart on one end, and scorched the PCB. It also ripped the PCB apart near one of the rectifiers... So it's toast.
But I digress... I am, for now, partially out of the custom builds game. If it's unique, or a rare WL, I would love to build it. Got a cool set to build, sure. However, if it's just another 445nm build.. I probably will not build it.
Take care everyone, and stay frosty. Can't wait to throw more up in the gas section.
With regards,
Reeber
