I stumbled across a video on Youtube of a gentleman with a portable 50 Watt Co2 laser breaking glass, igniting cardboard and plastic, and all without using any type of laser safety glasses or goggles! Surely the glass would throw some type of back reflection right?
Here is the video...
Hi, I searched the forums, and did not entirely find the answers to my question. So, here we go. I just recently purchased a G2 lens from Aixiz for my 445nm A140 build, and I can't seem to get it to focus at all. What I mean by that is my standard focusing ring is not able to be screwed onto the...
Hello, I am currently working on a project that requires me to add glass lenses to Cheap Ebay pens. That being said, I am looking for glass lenses that will work in the 405-445nm range, preferably already in a lens holder. I'd like to buy some Aixiz glass lenses if at all possible. I know I...
I just wanted to publicly thank Mr. Ed and Mike Crouse for always coming through when I am in need of odd or specialty laser parts! You guys never fail to bring a smile to my face when I open my packages and assemble my lasers! Your attention to detail and exacting tolerances on every part...
Hello, I am currently running a a140 diode on a 1.25a fixed current driver, using 2 3.7v 16340's. My question is, would running 3 3.7v 16340's instead of 2 cause any issues? Would the driver produce more heat, mA output, or possibly damage the driver? The reason I ask is the host I am in the...
Can you guys recommend me places, if possible links to purchase your favorite drivers? possibly both fixed and adjustable currents? If you could it would be greatly appreciated.
Ok guys, I am currently looking for a 405nm pointer with >5mw. I currently own a 1+ watt 445nm, and it's nice but rather frustrating worrying about burning everything in it's path. Frankly, it's not as enjoyable as a class 3 pointer. I have narrowed down my options to 3 lasers, and would like to...
Hello, My name is Nute and I've been actively stalking the forums for a while now. I just recently finished my first ~1.25w 445nm build, and would like to share it with you guys. Here are the build specifics:
Diode: A140 (rachaelocke2006 Ebay)
Module: Copper (DTR)
Lens: Three Element Glass...
I just wanted to say that I ordered a copper module with 3 element glass lens for a 5.6mm diode on Saturday night and received it on Monday morning. I know it was late when I ordered my module Saturday, but I still managed to receive it on Monday!. This guy has amazing customer service, and...

What would be the most simple host/heat sink kit for me to use with dual 16340 3.7v 1200mah batteries? I don't know what all I need, or where to solder the + and - wires coming off of the...
Hello, my name is Harrell. I am a new member, but I have been browsing here for a while. I would like to start off by saying I love lasers, but know very little about them. I am here wanting to learn, so please teach me. My first somewhat decent laser was the cheap Laser 301 via Ebay. I know...
