    My First build

    Ever since watching AnselmoFanZero lazer glove videos on youtube I knew I had to design one of my own. And so with a bit time and hard work I ended up building one to suit my unique design. Thanks to DTR for providing the laser. I have uploaded a video of the device in action. Check it out at...

    blowing up a inflatable mannequin? using a laser

    I just bought one of these.. HauntedProps.com | Haunted House Props | Halloween Animatronics | Haunted House Animatronics I will make a video of it. Im thinking of possible adding some form of flammable substance on the mannequin before i fire at it or ..... maybe not

    Question about running laser at 2.2A

    ok interesting. I came across this video in which lazereer did a murder test for the 9mm diodes: 9mm 445nm diode Murder Test (MAX Currant POP.!!!) - YouTube it looks like the diode die at around 2.8-3A while being chilled as shown in the video. it also begins to dim at 2.43A.

    Question about running laser at 2.2A

    well it will be driven at 2.2A. not sure how often i will use it. haven't decided on the host but it will have a good heat sink. I suppose i just wanted to know from other forums members if their diode has died at 2.2A over a short period of time.

    Question about running laser at 2.2A

    Hi I am in the process of building my first build and I have a question about running a 9mm laser at 2.2A. According to a experiment performed by lazereer on the first thread of the 9mm lasers , he found that the lasers begin to dim out in the 2.2-2.3A region. I was intending on running my...

    laser not turning on

    yes i am currently driving it at 1.5A but i would like to go higher:evil: I came across these drivers what do you think? DIY 445nm 2.2A Driver & Pill Module http://lazerer.com/power-buck-2a-switching-driver-for-445nm-405nm-laser-diode...

    laser not turning on

    ok so the LM317's arrived today and set everything up . Then I turned on my power supply and YES! the laser is fine. woooo!. I set the resistor to draw a current of 600mA and it was burning through cardboard. However I intead to run it at 2000mA. so i need to buy another driver! I looked at...

    laser not turning on

    yes i did try measuring the voltage of the driver with no load connected on its output. yes it is a switching driver, which i say switch i mean a buck regulator. I ran several buck regulators on their own with no load attached in the past to measure the ripple voltage at the output. I see no...

    ok i might try to draw 1 amp out of it and see what happens. Thanks

    laser not turning on

    yep completely sure it is soldered on correctly. with regards to heatsinking, i actually have a blue heat sink that is placed behind the box as shown in the image. i will definitely put it on. To me to sounds like a shame that the new driver is not operational. I just got it today and was so...

    laser not turning on

    Hi guys so i was in the process of my first build and then i ran into a problem. my laser wouldn't turn on!. Here's the stuff i have: 9mm laser from dtr with a G2 lens in a module 1.8A lazeerer X-drive V6 driver 2x panasonic 18650's 3.7V each and a switch. so here is how everything is...
