I wonder how this will affect us here. What patents does China own that have to do with Lasers? Should I bite the bullet and buy a cheap laser cutter/engraver now while I still can? Or will these type of things be unaffected...
Open-Source 3D-Printable Optics Equipment
Including Filter Wheel changer, Lab Jack, filter holders, chopper wheels and more.
Some of these could be very useful in a projector (like the filter wheel) others could be used in a lab setup.
When I first started creating my projector I found these mounts but they cost $25 each. So I decided to make a 3D model and print my own. They may drift over time since they aren't metal. How much probably depends on the material you use to print them.
You'll need to tap the holes for the...
There's a kickstarter happening to make Photo-lithographic printers for $100.
They are also asking for help from laser enthusiast on improving the process.
He made his own Galvos, probably quite a bit slower than 30K though. I wonder if a set of cheap 12-25k galvos would be better?

I know there's at least 2 people working on arduino based DACs who might find this useful. I've looked for something like this before but at the time no one was making them.
Add DMX control to your Arduino based DAC or lumia.

I've been building a projector for sometime now. I using a lasershark DAC and the openlase library. In the tools folder of the openlase source code there's a python script that converts svg (scalable vector graphics) files to ild files. It doesn't use the openlase library for the conversion so...
