Hey guys, I've been away for some time now. I went to lighthound and they're gone! Where are the hip kids in the know getting their electrons?
But seriously, I am building a small robot and weight and size are both a factor, I have a tiny one that could work but i need 12v so one isn't even...
Up front is our PLE-473 in a custom leather holster.
Next is the Pman special in 532. I can't believe I never made the build thread for this. I still have the pictures in photo bucket though so if there's any interest I'll write it up.

The smallest laser gun in the world...
Before I start here's the deal. my buddy is a huge. HUGE doctor who fan. I told him about one of the builds here with the $400 sonic screwdriver host a few years back. Well, that was out of his price range But he loved the idea of the laser in it! He said that of the reboot seires the 11th was...
Hey everyone, I used to install car entertainment professionally. This however was the better part of a decade ago. I'm so out of the loop that I have to put my ego aside and ask for help.
My girlfriend and I just bought an 07 Ford Focus. The biggest concern we have right now is the radio. She...
A few nights ago I decided to try my hand at making a beam expander. I have a handful of different lenses laying about so I figured I would try my luck. I didn't get any pictures of my first attempts but based on the math I made a 2X expander Friday night. It was vey impressive but since a 532...

Last night my girlfriend came to me with a slight problem. The plaques she is painting for her family were a little too big for the stencil she had bought. But it font was "perfect" so she didn't want to buy another. She asked if I knew of any way to make the letters bigger.
My initial thought...
So last Friday I was sitting at my desk minding my own, when an officer came in asking for a laser pointer. Pretending like I didn't hear him the first time he sat down at his desk and was telling a coworker about how he needed a pointer in a brief for a higher ranking officer. And that he...
Hey all,
I found this article on foxnews.com:
Japanese firm proposes building solar panel ring around moon | Fox News
Sounds like an interesting idea. They want to beam the energy collected to Earth using lasers or microwaves. Though I couldn't imagine that it would be terribly efficient and...
I was helping a newer member out when I though of a little project. After talking to another member we thought it'd be fun to throw this out on the forum for everyone to see.
I have a few extra Fasttech 5V red modules and wanted to know how reliably they could run constantly. I started this...
Okay, I admit, it's not much of a ray gun, but it's close :)
I went to the mall yesterday looking for Christmas gifts for my son when I stumbled on this little guy.
You pull the trigger and a little red LED lights up. My girlfriend looked at it and asked if I could put a laser in it. Honestly...
Hey guys,
I got a Coherent Model 200 Analog LPM and I'm trying to see 1) if it works and 2) if I'm reading it correctly or if it isn't reading my 405 and 450 correctly.
This is the meter Off and in the Battery Test position:
This next one is with the meter set to .3 It's reading the only...
Hey all,
I've searched around and haven't been able to find an IR filter (808-1064) that ships from the US. I know there are plenty of places around the web that will ship from China, but I'd like to get it in fewer than 2 - 3 weeks.
If anyone knows of a place or has one they can part with...
I finally got my girlfriend's laser done! It started life as an MP3 player.
I took out the speaker on the bottom and the lever on the top that housed the switch.
Then I added jump wires to connect the left and right twist functions to the push button leads. Now the laser can be operated...
I have been kicking around the idea of this build for a few months now I finally got it done tonight! I'm pleased to present "Frag Out!"
I didn't take very many build pictures but I'll do the best I can. I started out with this:
There was a nasty seam down the length and it was completely...
I decided to make a holster for the PLE Pro. This was just my Proof of Concept (POC) It's 100% genuine leather and 100% hand made. The black is cow hide and the blue is VERY soft sheep skin.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own a multimeter or an LPM so this is just proof of concept.
I have an LPC-826 but no driver. Well, not exactly... I bought a bunch of New Wish pens off ebay.:whistle:
I wanted to use two of the drivers from the New Wish pens to run a single diode.
As I said, I can't take...
