great! I'll do that =)

perfect! your amazing man, I appreciate all the input ;)

Sounds good! And when you say drlava boost drivers, do you mean the micro flexdrive??? And what mA should I preset it at? Remember I want some real power, enough to light some cigars and burn things at a distance. http://hacylon.case.edu/ebay/laser_diode/Micro_FlexDrive.php P.s What kind of...

Hello guys I've been enjoying my dorcy jr blu ray laser for quite some time now, but I've grown a little tired of it :D... I want a new project to work on. I've decided I want to build a red version of the dorcy jr.. Heres what I've got so far 1. one dorcy jr old style flashlight 2. one dark...

lol I guess a portable c02 laser wouldn't be possible??? :D

Yes mines is a PHR 405nm PHR-803T Blu Ray Laser Diode [PHR-803T] - $17.28 : High Tech DealZ, Simplifying the LASER Hobby! Actually when focused it does sting my hand and does smoke when I point it at dark objects. I was looking at some of the diodes hightechdeals sells and I found the one that...

Thank you Cenobite9! I'm very proud of it actually. I since then have built two dorcy lasers. I'm still not completely satisfied with the power... Right now it is running at 120ma, not bad for the burning power, I was told the 6x that hightechdealz sells are quite an improvement doubled with a...

Thanks for the info. I was looking at the sled on this website http://www.*****************.com/shop/product.php?id_product=7 The price isn't to bad, do you know where I could find just the diodes? Right now my laser looks great, but really doesn't burn as the ones I've seen in the videos...

lol that is funny :D. So what kind of driver do you have, is a flexdrive like the one I bought? And this diode, I don't think hightechdealz sells it right? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm wanting something really powerful for myself in the future.

Jesus! That thing has got to be really powerful. I bet it melts away things at a distance.

It sure will :D Hey Id love to see pictures of yours, what settings do you have yours? P.s What do you mean about duty cycles? Is that the amount of time I should use it then leave it off for it to cool down?

Thank you so much for all the info ;) really appreciate it. Guess I'll pick up one of those lens kits as soon as my drivers arrive.

I think it was mainly the heat, the soldering iron I was using was old, but like you said its all a learning experience, kind of a pricey experience :D whatever its just money. Can't wait to try them out at that mA... Will that dramatically improve the power on the unit? Maybe 10-15%??? Do you...

went and placed an order for two more diodes with the housing and two Micro FlexDrive's at 120mA... :bowdown:

you wouldn't guess what happened. I went to re-solder the joints and i accidentally broke the driver :( guess I'm off to buy another. Previously I had them powered at 115mA should I go a bit higher? I just don't want to worry about it dieing on my so fast.
