I also heard about a super cheap Direct Diode 570nm coming out next year sometime around April from Sharp. supposedly itll be 150mw max at around $50 U.S.
honestly most of the batteries that come with lasers are complete garbage. low quality. you're better off actually buying batteries separately. LG. Tenergy, Sony, Samsung, AW, Efest, and Panasonic are really good cells. as long as you dont pay 1 or 2 dollars per battery than theyre probably good...
oh okay, yeah i was a little confused, apologize for that, sure would like to know what thing thing is, incredibly powerful whatever it is. more than likely a high output laser module and not pointer. looks to be in the several W range. a little off topic but reminds me of that laser rainbow...
you know, thats a good question. I got into this hobby in March 2015. im not sure how much they were before then, it would be kind of cool if someone could make a timeline of how much diodes were dating back 10 years ago versus what they are now. prices have dropped so much over the years and...
did you make a couple solder contacts on the ring to pill? so its connecting the circuit. maybe you mentioned that but not sure. what i mean is that i wonder if the driver is getting power but its not going to the Laser diode? i made that same mistake once. just keep in mind that in this hobby...
good good. I was hoping you were :) youre welcome and thank you for everything, nearly every one of my lasers has something from SL lol. anyways, have a great day ;)
yup, Ive been hearing all about the shortage for the 2020 year, they say thats why car production has slowed way down almost to a stop, because these stupid cars these days have so many computers in them, and they all need one thing, chips. personally i believe thats why cars dont last anymore...
glad to see you Gary, i recently purchased another laser tool accessories box and im gonna need to fill it with some parts so ill probably be ordering a bunch of random stuff you pretty soon with no project in mind, just wanna have some stuff laying around for when I eventually do wanna...
I find it hilarious that i literally use the exact same case for my laser parts, but mine is red. small world for sure :)
so how in the world did you get your hands on that Cmount 650? i remember seeing your video on that a long time ago and was never able to find it.
yeah yeah, Vent hole, usually every IMR/High drain/unprotected Li battery has one. usually split up in 2 or 4. and yes, its always at the + end. I dont usually see them on protected cells, but some protected ones do have them. wasnt sure if i misunderstood your question. lol
ill give you 2.00 for the 1W 445. jk lol. if i had ever gotten my damn stimulus i would have possibly been interested in that 473. but I never got it :mad:
