Welcome to the forum. Here, you will find a virtually unlimited amount of knowledge to be learned. Just remember, use your knowledge wisely, and be safe.

Remember, if you can see light at all, then yes, it is reflecting off of whatever surface you see it on. If the light did not reflect off of the match, then you simply would not see it. The match would just be a black shadow; you wouldnt be able to see it. Always wear safety goggles when...

Yep, I posted a comment on that thread a day or 2 ago.

Well, I've already posted a few threads on here. But, I decided I might as well post a thread about myself. I can assure you I am not at all new to the laser world. I am not incredibly experienced like some of the higher-up people on here, but I know my facts. As far as building lasers, ive...

Re: GB: C6 Copper heat sinks & focus adapters I'd definitely be in for 1 copper heatsink and 1 black anodized focus adapter. The LPF logo being milled sounds like a good idea.

That's what I figured. I guess selling JAD kits would be the best option to go with if I actually were to get into the business someday. Thanks -BlackWidow

So, as we all know, non-FDA approved powerful lasers are illegal (at least in the USA). But, say I wanted to start selling completed ready-to-go lasers here on the forum. I dont have the cash to get into the selling business right now, but just say I do. If I sold a laser to someone here on...

Some boss pictures right here

Now that I have the laser focused I cant see the speck, so that no longer matters. But, now that the lens is so far into the module, the focus ring only screws on a little bit. So I guess I'll just have to glue that on there or something. :P Thanks for the help -BlackWidow

Daguin, I believe it is because I used the back-end-of-the-module pressing technique. I took the focus ring off the lens and screwed it in further with my fingers. It was almost all the way in when it reached infinity. but no, the speck does not rotate when I turn the lens. I would take...

I just built myself a violet laser. It is a PHR-805t diode housed in a leadlight host. It is using the standard AixiZ lens that came with the module. When it is focused as close to infinity as it gets, the dot is still huge. When I shine it at the wall from about 5 feet away, the dot is like...

Thanks for the help. I now have a working laser :D But I do have another problem. The focusing. For some reason, although I have it as close to infinity as I can get it, the dot is still huge. When I shine it at the wall from about 5 feet away, the dot is around 3-4 inches wide. Why do you...

So im building a violet laser. A phr-805t diode in a leadlight host from jayrob. Im also using a ghostdrive. The phr-805t is case negative, but how do I get connection to the host? Also, I need to shim the module with something because it doesnt fit perfectly in the host? How can I do that? Thanks

Yeah, that nice sleek look is really what I'm going for. The leadlight was definitely one of my possibilities, and it looks much like that jayrob host. Anyway, thanks for the input :D

So I'm planning on building a violet laser, using the PHR-805t diode. I know I want the host to be chrome. Anyone got any ideas on a host I should use?
