Re: Yellow pointer *updated*

I've always had fume fog problems with super glue

I ended up using just a drip of superglue here and there for tacking, the majority of it is 5 minute epoxy for that very reason.... and you can build the epoxy up much more easily.

Next project on it's way...... I just need to work out how to build op-amps :......

Aw shucks...... :

Another last one with camera and pointer 2 ft from target, I was trying to pick out the pulsed green that gives a yellow red dotted line when combined.

Fail....

Looks beautiful. I'm definitely going to be making one of these. Sigh. More ideas than time

rog, you are AWESOME!

cant get any better than this.

+1rep for sure




finally somebody did the hack we were all especulating when that laser came to dx!

awesome job.



can i get a rough estimate on the building price? (laser + cubes + filters used later + other stuff such as glue & wires)






PS: the glue work you did there was AMAZING, 100% clean.

do you think it's outputting 2-3mW?

Co sign on cost details! This is deffinately in mind for a future project...

You can kind of see little notches on the side of the beam showing where the green flashed on.

Host laser $30.07 http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12338
Glue $1.00
The filters are in effect free as they were a by-product of blueray builds.
The rest is from the scrap box (the front shroud was an air rifle muzzle).
You will eat batteries when setting up @ $2.50 a pair.

Use of a lathe will be the biggest stumbling block for most people.

Assuming you have built 2 bluerays and have a lathe total cost $35.00

You can kind of see little notches on the side of the beam showing where the green flashed on.

So you can! well spotted

+1rep for sure

Thank you

WOW , that's way better aligned than I thought. How does it work at distances? Is the divergence of the red the same as the green?What about the starting diameter?

It is a good yellow from around 2ft out to 20ft..maybe. You can then see it as a tricolour with the beams overlapping. I have set it to use for presentations on a screen within that distance.

The beams are pretty well matched for diameter which is 3 to 4mm exiting the cap.

That sounds good Rog.

Now go and make a RGV-pointer! [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]

 

[tone1132]

Holy sh!t!!! That is amazing!! I wonder who will start making these and when these will be made instead of spending so much on the regular yellow?
