I have seen an application online in which a 405nm laser was able to successfully cure a 385nm resin, it was a resin from Bucktown Polymers. I like the idea of driving the LD with a closed loop power supply, but from what I have seen few of the cheaper diodes out there have a PD in the can. Has...

I was hoping to see if it had a photodiode and if it did what its charactaristics are for use in a driver circuit. I also just like to have datasheets on file for my projects for reference, habits from work.

Is there a datasheet for the PHR-805T Laser Diode? I have looked around but I cannot find one to save my life, even a manufacturer would be helpful. You'd think that with how prevalent they are it wouldn't be this difficult.

Wow, that is pretty intense, and one day I might try to build one myself but for now I don't want to bite off more than I can chew and end up with another half finished project. I've been looking around for the best place to start and I suppose I need to actually get a laser and start messing...

@Bionic_Badger: Thanks for the advice on the goggles, I knew I would need something but wasn't sure where to start looking. I think I see what you are getting at by using the laser as a supplement to sharpen the image made by the DLP but I would rather do one or the other and lasers seem like...

Okay, the embeded video did not work, link.

I see what you are saying, with this type of system though I wouldn't need to necesarily display the entire image at once per layer. I could probably get away with 'printing' out the image one line at a time similar to a 2d printer. The image I have in my head is similar to what I have seen on...

Since this is my first posting on these forums I would like to start out with a big hello and introduce myself! I am an all-around tinkerer and electronics enthusiast by night/weekends, and Electrical Engineer by day. I have a pretty strong background in robotics and volunteer my services for a...
