it is not exactly that it is UV light that make you not see the laser , it is the glasses so for example i have 445nm laser (so it is blue) so i have laser glasses that cuts the 445nm color , so i cant see the beam but i still can see the point just a little through the glasses. nice find for...

hey Waste , my twin brother from Germany :) i have ordered only the 445 nm (from DTRshop). i don t know yet if i will go for the 405 nm , because the 445 is already quite good for cutting but i havn t done many test yet , as i really don t have the time right now i have just focused my laser...

hi HaloBlu thank you for theses info , as i have now (quickly) tested my first laser , i can see that multi mode laser is already precise enough for cutting (i don t know if it is because of the quality of my lens or if it is just always that precise) i wont be ordering IR or the right IR...

hi ok so after a few problems i have been able to start my laser , i haven t done so many test yet , but i did try thin cardboard cut , i now understand better about the physicals values of cutting with laser diodes you have to go slowly with a 1W and you need the best focus you can get i...

THANKS GUYS i ll post more pics , when i get how to make good pictures of something that is filtered out because of your glasses . it is quite difficult actually and also i understood i need to have a black background to be able to take pictures of the beam , i thought it would be easy at 1W...

ok thanks you 123splat and Cyparagon , i turned the pot down until i had 100mA then plugged the ground (that i soldered just before) and it went all the way up to 700mA , Amazing , i ll be able to start my laser tonight !!!! HUGE THANKS so everybody confirm that to get 1W (445nm 1W) out i...

so turning the screw on my setup is equal to 1turn (360degree) 100mA here are some pics of my setup

no i don t have a test load (didnt ordered one when buying my driver) (is there something else in common electronic that could be use as a load , such as a diode extracted from a power supply , a high power led ...) i will make more tests tomorrow but the gain pot seems not to react the same...

yes i have seen the guide , but i am giving 5v to the "MOD" pin from my microcontroler because the idea is to control the laser from the microcontroler (arduino) and yes the red led is off the all time i am making the test i dont think it is the case but i ll have to verify if it is not me...

hi there it is my first time working with laser , laser drivers etc... i have a flexMod , so i am trying to set it up for my diode (1000mW 445nm) , so DTR wrote to feed 1A to my diode , but when i turn my gain pot to get 1A , it wont go over 310mA (the screw will but my reading stop growing) i...

Re: 12X S06J Diodes $54 Shipped US hi thank for your answer , but then i really don t get it , because my driver is a flexmod and its specs says that it will adapt its voltage to the needs of the load , but then what is the voltage specs of a A140 because if it drives 5V then 1A would set it to...

Re: 12X S06J Diodes $54 Shipped US Hi DTR , i wanted to start and experiment with my 445nm 1W laser before buying a 12X S06J for this i need to find the specs of the A140 (to know what intensity i need to set my driver at ,for a 1w output) , do you have these specs , or know where i can find...

Re: 12X S06J Diodes $54 Shipped US great , i ll take a 12X S06J in module , as for the lens i ll take a simple glass because i already received a G-2 from last order (with a 445nm) , so i ll be able to compare cutting abilities with both wave length and lenses , as for the driver flex do you...

yes , i ll check in my power supplies to see what i have for over 6volts and over 1A the question here is more , what should i set my driver intensity output at ? is 222mA the good setup? as for the lens it is ok , now i can compare lenses as i am going to buy a 405nm and a simple glass, and...

i just realized i might have made a mistake when i bought the "405-G-2 Glass Lens W/Focus Ring $45" isn t it a collimating lens ? i would more need converging lens , am i right ? where should i buy one ?
