So I accidentally ordered a 405nm diode instead of the 450nm I was looking for. I'm not the biggest fan of this wavelength just by personal preference, and would like to recover some of the money.
The diode is a Sharp GH04W10A2GC diode with an ACS1500SE driver set to draw 700mA. I don't have a...
It's the same length as the chrome host. I just used the black one for demonstration because the focus ring was already loose. But as you can see with this chrome host, the ring is pushed a little farther down inside, and because of that, the battery door has about half the threads handing out...
This is how much of the focus lens sticks out of the top without the threaded ring. If I were to push it down any further, it wouldn't leave any space for the batteries/closing the battery door, as is the problem on my chrome model. I can't fathom a way to make room other than using a half-sized...
Thank you! I have more silver hosts on the way, and still plan to compare my builds to yours, especially since I can't make enough room to install the cap :/ you're a wizard for that lol
Thought someone might get a kick out of the fact that I found all of these brand new online recently (except the bottom. Bought it used and broken). But I couldn't resist as a fan of laser pointers.
I would love to take them apart and upgrade the diode but they seem tough to take apart without...
Just finished my first 2 laser builds. I used a 488nm (55mW) and a 520nm (80mW) and both are powered with AAA batteries. They are perfect for general pointing and relatively eye safe (assuming you don't catch a direct reflection) and I think these pens are hands-down the coolest host for a laser...
They look awesome! And it would be great if you filled out the info for me! Also can I ask where you get those chrome pen hosts? That style of laser pointer is my absolute favorite and I cannot find them anywhere! Could I buy one from you? (A host or completed laser). Thank you for your reply!
I'd love to grab some! I was hoping to find the pre-specified kind if anyone still has a source, but I am happy to take some of those off your hand and I appreciate the offer! The "official" kind are near impossible to come across. Do you mind to upload some pictures for everyone? I will dm you...
Hello, I was just wondering if anyone knows where you can buy the silver "Danger" Stickers that you see on laser pointers. I have many with no labels and many with incorrect labels. Honestly I like the look of them, especially on smaller pens. If anyone has a source, please let me know! Thanks...
Hello,
First of all, I know you guys aren't medical professionals, but I'm looking for some insight until Monday when eye doctors are open.
I recently purchased a 1.5W laser using the NDB7875 module. I ordered glasses at the same time, but they did not show up before the laser did. I didn't...
