Well, what do you guys think?

 

[rathat]

yeah, looks worth it.

 

[GooeyGus]

buy it and swap out the modules for some more powerful ones

 

[john_lawson]

noo a new addiction lol ;D

I've been wondering about those too. Some of those laser shows are much cheaper than going and buying the galvos and setting it up yourself.

I'm thinking of buying a cheap one and replacing the module with a much more powerful one, as my first laser projector Though, for my RGB projector I want to make I'll have to DIY that. A 3 colour projector would be very expensive, better to make it yourself. But single colour it seems it's better to just buy a premade one

Well, including shipping, it's just over $300 for the 4 lasers, cooling equipment, mirrors, optics, motors etc. I would definatly buy it for a DIY project of mine...

lol! yeah.

not my style i would much rather go with some better scanners and build my own. may cost a little more but i really do believe you would enjoy it more

 

[Murudai]

Well, just to get a feel for projectors a premade one would be good. You can see how it all fits together, how they work, and get ideas for how to put together your own

I mean, seeing how the professionals put them together can only help when you want to put your own together

holy crap, that's an incredible deal

But I'd rather make my own RGB scanner Plus, only a 30mW blue in that. I want a 80mW blue minimum

 

[thesk8nmidget]

30 mw of blue seems a little low. i sorta have a feeling those pictures were not produced from that projector
