I bought a cheap 301 from rayfoss. Came in broken. Faona gave me a refund, so now I'm here with a shitty host and broken internals. I see this as a gateway into the world of building. I've seen the 301 dissection thread from marco polo and took this thing apart. I haven't gotten the diode out...

Howdy. It's been almost 5 years since I bought my first laser. I'd like to give my hand at making one. Any good instructional vids? Specifically installing modules.

Ordered a 150mw purple from rayfoss and it came in broken. Faona has asked me to ship it back before they send out a replacement. However, the shipping fee to send it back is almost 50 bucks. Any suggestions on what I should do? Also, how do overseas companies make any money on their sales if...

Got my 50mw green FLX, and charged the battery for about 2 hrs, the light was red the whole time. Put the battery in, turned the key to On, opened the shutter and...the led comes on, but the laser doesn't. Whats up?

It's really annoying, because I've gotten around 100 emails all from LPF saying SOMEONE HAS REPLIED TO YOUR THREAD!

Can someone with one of those fancy power measuring gizmos try this out for me? With a 50mw laser, shine the beam onto the little device that measures the power. Then place in front of the beam a pair of sunglasses, ski goggles, and some green laser glasses. Thanks I will be getting a pair...

I bought a 50mw underwater laser. I went through all the normal checkout, Add to cart, continue, name address email, and then it never asked for my credit card number. Are they going to email it to me, or should I just re-do my order since I wont get charged for it? Oh, and whats the normal...

So, if I point my laser at a white wall 5 feet from me, I don't need glasses? They're just for burning because it's real close, and for accidental light bouncing back into you eyes? This is 50mw we're talking about.

Hey guys! I'm still relatively new to this hobby, and I really don't feel like messing up right now. Whats a duty Cycle? Whats it do? Whats a host, and a pot and all that stuff. Whats the LED indicator do Do people get eye damage from looking at the dot on a wall maybe 10 feet away from a...

Heres the Link. Green Blue Laser Eye Protection Safety Glasses Goggles - eBay (item 270627012604 end time Sep-04-10 22:33:31 PDT) It says it's for green and blue, from a laser specific seller, so I would think that they actually work, however with eyes, you can never be too careful...

By legit, I don't mean the companies that aren't fakes. I mean the ones with the IR filters, the FDA approvals, and the Key locks. Nothing like dinodirect or dealextreme, because honestly I don't want the risk, and with those prices, I don't know if I can trust the quality. Can I? If I can'...

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but all I have is greens, so I just thought it'd be appropriate to ask here. Pretty much, what is a duty cycle and a cooldown cycle on a laser? whats it do? And if there isn't one listed on the website, how can I find out the duty cycle? sidenote...

How safe is this? I've seen news stories of people accidentally, or purposefully shining a laser into a planes cockpit and forcing it to land. I love go out on a dark night and look at the stars. It also looks really cool having a big bright green beam traveling into the heavens, but whats the...

Of course, I won't be shining it into anybodies eyes. But i've heard from sources that just looking at the dot of a strong laser with no filter can damage your eyes. So, I'm planning on picking up a 50mw and a 200mw. The guy said they don't have filters, but they're pretty cheap. Should I move...

I've heard about a lot of laser sellers don't put in the IR filter, which is why they're cheap (even though I've seen filters for 2-3 bucks). And Dinos lasers, compared to wickedlasers or dragonlasers are very cheap. Whats up? Are their lasers just cheaply made or are they just wholesale? Edit...

Don't really know what to say. Got into lasers over summer break, bit of a noob with them. Thats it I guess
