HI guys, I have finished building my 445nm laser set at 1A yesterday. Everything concerning the laser itself is fine but I found that it sometimes wouldn't work when the switch at the back was fully screwed in. I can turn it on only when the switch is screwed halfway in or using any other metal...

What if my dmm only has a 10 amps socket? I guess it's just better...:D

Thank you all for your great answers!

Thanks but what do you mean by "monitor the current"? I used a dummy load made out of 4 diodes and a 1 ohm resistor(which I measured using a multimeter and it ended up being a 2 ohms resistor..)

Hey! A month ago I built my first red laser. I saw somewhere I should adjust mym driver to 380mA and it worked fine but now I feel I want more power, and set it to 410-430mA. I feel like I'll break the diode if unsolder it a 2nd time! I'm wondering if I could just adjust the current while the...

!!!! I got that since the begining!:wtf:

lolololol I know what you guys mean! no need to repeat it again and again! I understood from the start!It's just really funny seeing everyone raging at nothing

Actually, I asked this because one of my friends wants to make a 1W green laser. I don't really like green lasers so I don't know much about them yet!!! I thought you would simply give me an answer instead of laughing at my ignorance! This is getting really complicated!!!

lol Why are you guys so mean!?!?! I'm only asking questions and you all reply thinking I'M being mean or something... Did I say anything wrong!?

oh lol what about this : http://www.wickedlasers.com/lasers/S3_Krypton_Series-113-63.html

lol....thanks...:horse: I meant where can I find a 1W green diode(link please!) Sorry for the confusion!

hey hey hey!!!!! I want to make a 1w 532nm green laser and all I need to know is if you know where I can find a 1w green diode and provide me the information on the working current and voltage. Thank you.

What are good goggles then? I'm not gonna pay 60$ for that! (I wish they were free!:bowdown:!) :thanks:

Are 445nm lasers that much more dangerous than others?! Anyways, I'm planning to buy: 1W 445nm diode 445nm aixiz glass lens aixiz module Jayrob's 18650 "cree" kit with drill out the pill option flexdrive driver set to maybe 1A (depending on how dangerous it is) 18650 batteries and charger and...

Hey guys! I would like to buy a 300mW 445nm diode but i can't find one.XD At first, I wanted to build a 1W 445nm laser but I found it way too dangerous and I couldn't even show it to friends. :tsk: I'll buy a Jayrob 18650 kit and now all I need is the diode. 300mW or 400mW is what I'm looking...
