Y'all just don't know how much it sucks to know that one person in the world that just gets ya, is mad at you. I was starting to think I lost my favoritest person in the whole...

    Finally getting to do what I envisioned.

    Just a little, only 12kg and some tritium, deuterium, little uranium 235, you know the usual . I mean God no!! I'm not constructing a nuclear space rocket in my basement. It's all for a clock, yes a clock!!! lol

    Finally getting to do what I envisioned.

    That's a little out of my league lol. If it were up to me, I'd invent a ton of green single mode high powered diodes, with awesome divergence, extreme efficient, super amazing heat conduction properties and low cost. Especially minty green ones. I'd be pumping out laser diodes that converted...

    Finally getting to do what I envisioned.

    When I first got my laser engraver, I had envisioned using it to engrave my logo on to items I custom make for my other hobby. I have been in destructive testing the last 3 years. testing everything I can so one day, my custom object would fill the world. Every man woman and child far and wide...

    Help? Laser went dim then died in seconds after installing recharged batteries

    Not all diodes are made equally. The cheaper diodes will go poop, or some run forever. It's why most the good diodes cost as much or more as a whole 10MW nuclear fusion latest greatest handheld laser of the day. The handheld kit I grew to like is sold from ebay. It's 2w, and it puts out about...

    Help? Laser went dim then died in seconds after installing recharged batteries

    It's got to be the flux capacitor, I talked to Doc and Marty, and they definitely said it was the flux capacitor.

    Should I even get a laser?

    Techhood on ebay will sell you a real nice handheld for a good price. I believe they sell what they call a 2w kit, you have to put the case on the module and add batteries. So technically it is not selling a high powered laser, but rather a kit you assemble. I have a few of them and I know a...

    Focussing Nichia diodes with ball-lens?

    I have an anycube omega pro 3. Works really really well!!! This is before I got the settings right, and while I was sleeping my cat was attacking my printer. lol. The final version is really nice looking, but it is boxes and gift wrapped already.

    Focussing Nichia diodes with ball-lens?

    If you like being silly, buy some different sized clear glass balls. I won't tell you what to do with them, you'll figure it out soon enough. Just make sure you are in a room with no windows and wear your goggles. It's a lot of fun though. lol

    Focussing Nichia diodes with ball-lens?

    I'm usually to in the moment to think about a camera. I'm cackling like a mad scientist as I screw around. I love puffing my smoke machine out the window and watching my neighbors get all weird when the cloud comes around the front of the house. No smell, WHERES THE FIRE!!! lol

    Focussing Nichia diodes with ball-lens?

    I bought a nubm044 and smashed it as hard as I could. I ran it on an active digitally controlled cooling system. Darn diode cost me $150 bucks, was a brand new recan. I had some science I wanted to do with it. Instead, I build a crazy lens with glass globes. Made a huge beam. I put some huge...

    a try to repair a driver.

    Get better tips and a better station. Re- solder flux is super clean and requires no clean up, but really only works on pre-soldered stuff, like when repairing and replacing parts. I use a needle point and set my iron pretty hot, pre-tin my pins very very lightly, just want enough so the board...

    POLL for The Laser Man 2

    When I was 21 I was a maint. man for a hotel. I had an assistant hired for me. No way vetted by me. Why I trusted the man I have no idea. I've never trusted anyone like that again. He had said he de-energized the system. I went behind this industrial drier. Mere inches of space, this thing was...

    Laserdelic, a generative landscapes synthesizer...

    Looks kind of like when I fire up my electro-magnetic wave generating devices and fire them at the aluminized Mylar targets while adding random oscillations. I get more lines and randomness though. Translation: I aim my lasers at shiny stick on squares, and watch it create patterns on the...

    POLL for The Laser Man 2

    At the ripe old age of 8, I found electricity. An why yes I had almost killed myself numerous times by the time I reached 18. I also had a lot of fun and built a lot of cool things. An it all started because the socket came out of the wall, and I seen wires attached. Taught myself how to read a...

    Need Laser Building / Parts Buying Advice

    Ebay is your friend. Can buy a whole bag of diodes, of any color made for the most part if your heart wishes. So many drivers to pick from, cases, lens, you name it. Even find old Russian yag vessels now and then.

    a try to repair a driver.

    I use resolder flux when changing stuff out. Takes almost no solder to do, just the tiniest amount. I slather the resolder flux on like no tomorrow. Helps to keep everything a little cooler, while keeping most of the heat on the tip where I want it. I buy it in needled bottles, so nice for...
