I'm still in the process of assembling my first projector and I'm using 30K ebay scanners, using a 445, one of jayrob's lens that I originally used for a 405 pointer mounted into an axis module and into a modwerx aluminum heatsinc, and dichros and mounts from LSP. The two problems I'm running...

Thank you, I'll finally be able to get this beast up and running. I'll be posting pictures of my build as soon as I get it running.

I'm in the process of building an RGB show and so far I've picked up selective reflecting mirrors from olike along with lens holders however I'm not thrilled with the size and the complete lack of adjustment. I'd really appreciate anyone who could point me towards a good reliable source for a...

Fantastic, now I know. And knowing is half the battle. Thanks everyone.

bob, I could kiss you (but I won't), I never even thought about something so mundane as a blown fuse in the dmm. The dmm cost me $1.50 and the fuse cost me $2.99 :crackup: Now I'm up and running, thanks much! Only question is now that I'm actually getting readings and they are pretty much in...

I do have mine set for DCA, however it seems I have alot more modes available than yours. There is 200um 2000um 20m 200m then a separate switch setting for 10A. I've tried all of these settings but without any good accurate readings. For example, my bench power supply says the draw is .04A...

Ok, to be fair, I did search, unfortunately, I'm not finding an answer in language I'm understanding or I'm missing some key piece of information I need to process the answers. I just got 3 Flexmod P3's in from drlava, I'm in the process of setting up the first one, I'll be using all 3 in an...

I totally do not disagree with you which is why I abandoned my line of inquiry, got some high quality glasses and resumed my newbie experiments on small IR cans. I'm coming to grasps with how difficult invisible light is to work with and if I had ended up getting the coherant module I'd...

Well not from a scientific (axis) viewpoint, but they remind me of c-mount since the lasing diode is not protected at all via a can or lens, they simply lay on top of a metal plate similar to C mount. although unlike c mount, they have pins for each anode and cathode, where most c-mount the...

Thought I'd report my findings on attempting to kill it. I'm guessing mine is indestructable. I have it at 3.1V and as high as 375ma, I really wish i had an LP meter, but according to the bench supply, the draw on it was almost a full watt. So I pumped it up to 400ma and the laser went dim...

Larry, Just an FYI, I did manage to extract one of those and I'm testing with it now, I only have one left so I'm not sure what the safe voltage and amperage is. So far I have it at 2.8 and 500ma for a duty cycle of 30 seconds. I'm afraid to ramp it any higher since I only have this one left...

I haven't picked drivers yet, but I'm liking the one I've seen posted somewhere around here that was 1 circuit board and individual power controls, i think it was originally designed to be used with your sled mount. Although, I think that one had programs built into it rather than using a dac to...

In my case, I've been using LG sleds and claiming they're "BDR203" cause I got it mixed up in my head where "BDR" was blue ray disc? (don't ask) but either way, I've only ever dismantled 8x LG drives and the red/IR diode is indeed flat. it has no photo sensor, so the center is common - the...

I know this isn't the complaint thread, but I hate ordering things from china.... olike looks like it'll take close to 3 weeks. My IR goggles still aren't here.

I just removed the red diode from another BDR 203 and set it for 2.2V at 100ma, the power that came out of it was phenomenal. I don't know what the max would be and I don't want to kill this one, but I did remove the heatsinc off it completely, what it appears to be is almost like a C mount...
