Hi guys.
So im planning on building my own CNC maching using arduino(hopefully) motors and such but first would like to organise all the laser business first. Ive been looking at these sealed laser tubes on ebay for around £120 that are used in CNC machines and see that they also sell power...
Well I have an m140 diode at 1.4Watts and it burns like a monster when focused and can go ~10km at night. 100mw is roughly enough to light a match and pop balloons, but over watt will do much more so if you do get this laser be extremely careful. There are other diodes which are single mode...
Okay so If your looking for better beam specs you will need to choose a diode with better beam specs, an M140 diode which is one of the cheapest high power blue diode is a multi mode diode which generally have a wider more rectangular beam, when i'm back from holiday next week I can show you...
Hi There, This was the first video i saw which got me interested in lasers too! First of all you should get some laser goggles because these things are powerful. Here: Eagle Pair® 190-540nm Slip Over Laser Safety Goggles
Also you can use the Diode from survival lasers or from DTR with a g-2...
okay, so just to finalise.
I buy the module, c6 and heatsink + batteries.
Cut of the wires and attach a spring.
de-anodise the inside of the c6.
Short the switch
and then assemble?
Thanks
Tonka
okay, thank you, so if i get the original module and the C6, an unanodized heatsink and if i cut a spring so its slightly shorter it will all fit hopefully.
Will i need to remove any anodizing on the inside of the c6?
Tonka
i don't have a dremel but i'm sure i can find a wire brush from somewhere, if i was to do it in an Aurora SH-032 Host is there a heatsink i can find that will fit or will i have to get it custom made, if so I will probably try with the C6 or are there any other hosts more suitable for this...
