Hey LPF,
This is just a thread for my recent build. I finished building this awesome little build on the 21st. So I've
been getting used to it for the past few days and having fun
Some of the photos are a little superfluous and not exactly needed but I just thought I'd put them in
anyway to look at.
Also, if anyone is building one of these and has questions :thinking:, don't hesitate to ask!
It's not a relatively powerful laser, but I'm very happy with it. It has a great duty cycle since it's set at a conservative
amperage. Which also means long life! and good battery life!
That being said, this does burn just as well as any other PHR build you'll find. It lights matches instantly and
pops balloons like nothing! But that's expected as I think everyone is so desensitized to these tricks on here!
I've always wanted to build a pen-style laser and was always discouraged since I thought aligning the button for the
switch would be a pain. But these Leadlight hosts are a breeze! I epoxyed the switch assembly to the correct position
and the button has glue already on it which holds it in place real nice!
Here's a parts list for the build, as well as some photos to go along with it!
Diode: PHR-805t 405nm
Driver: Groove2
Host: Black Leadlight (When you order it from CajunLasers it comes with the switch board assembly,
but its an optional accessory if you buy from Jayrob)
It's worth noting I used the now famous silicon wire. It's so nice and flexible but makes a sturdy connection!
Definitely my new laser building wire!
(^That's the PHR recessed in the AixiZ Module)
All of these components can be found at CajunLasers.com
(This is how the Driver looks when the wires on soldered on :tinfoil
Jayrob also offers the same exact host so be sure to also check out his thread on it! (P.S Special thanks to Jay for
clearing up some questions I had!)
Clif, the guy who runs it, ships quick! He's definitely going to be my new supplier!
Anyway here are some more shots of the laser!
(Just the uncollimated light)
(This is the diodes uncollimated dot. It has something on the glass window of the diode, but I don't want
to try to remove it because I'm sure I'd mess it up. Besides, its so low powered I don't think it'll
cause a problem
)
(Here's a size comparison of the Leadlight and my NewWish Pen)
(...And another)
Specs
Amperage: 130mA
Estimated Output: 100-110mW
Power Supply: 2x 3.7V 10440 Li-ion Cells
BEAMSHOTS!
