i just ended up soldering the diode directly to the driver outputs, and attatching the wires to the inputs for the driver. wrapped the whole thing in squashed copper pipe with some thermal grease to contact, for heatsinking and structural support. it works great. the only annoying thing is the...

Re: X-Boost V7 Mini (10mmx12mm) 1.8A Laser Driver nope. im pretty new to this, finished my first build about a week ago, used an 8$ driver for an A-140 diode (the soldering was a bitch), works great but its 15mil wide so wont fit in the back end of an aixiz, just waiting on the torches i...

i got some of the TO-18 sockets for my A-140s, and one of the bloody pins on it broke, so ill probably do this, with some kind of glue to make a solid joint for the socket pins that cant bend/break. thanks davo though i must say, breaking a pin on a 5$ socket is a hell of alot better than...

Re: X-Boost V7 Mini (10mmx12mm) 1.8A Laser Driver lazeerer, this driver looks awesome. :bowdown: and im specifically looking for drivers which fit in the back of an aixiz module are you willing to sell two for maybe 20-25$ each? if not, do you know anyone else making/selling drivers under...

maybe my views on the subject are a little skewed because i live in australia, where lasers are already considered weapons and we have no second ammendment to allow citizens to have weapons for self defence all it takes is one idiot blinding a cop, and lasers become public enemy number one, and...

from the sounds of it, your friend is a fucking idiot. the kind who points lasers at planes if i was you i'd be finding new friends.

he could probably pass some form of restriction, licensing requirements or somesuch but it shouldnt be possible for any kind of laser to be banned, anywhere the second ammendment gives citizens the right to bear arms, and high powered laser pointers can validly be considered as "arms"...

true. a single person with a laser would have been no more, or less effective than a single person with a gun, especially considering the body armour holmes was wearing but in other situations, like when someone pulls a knife on you, with the obvious exception of having a gun, having a laser...

you're missing the point if you cant take a little hostility, how are you going to react when you blow your first 50$ diode? if some idiot blinds themselves using a laser they built with information from here, it creates a risk for the forum, it risks a tightening of laser restrictions in the...

why cant we just make our own "LPF" DIY variable driver? there has to be someone here who knows enough about them, to either make and sell them, or to make a tutorial and post it. to me it seems like a pretty good thing to have a variable driver for the M-140 diodes, so you can drop the power...

i searched the forum and found nothing, so i figured i'd post has anyone ever had any experience working with a frazier lens? panavision makes them for cameras. they supposedly give perfect depth of field, all the way from point blank to infinity. which means you could give a laser diode...

it would not have completely stopped him, but all it would take is one shot to the eyes, its much harder to shoot someone when you're blind and the muzzle flash from a gun would make you stand out just as much, if not more than the shot from a laser would. if they were resourceful, they could...

gentlemen, we're forgetting the obvious lasers can be used to blind people. they are weapons. if someone in the aurora theatre had a 2W 445 laser, they could have used it to stop the gunman. it is a situation where the laser is superior to the firearm (and best of all, they're non lethal) and...

damn... im glad i checked before buying them lol :thanks:

really only useful for burning things they're kinda like guns, or a pocket flamethrower
