Was just testing one of the 40W Chinese tubes in my workshop: Burns pretty nice. It's going into a cnc build.

I had some spare time and a trashed computer case to scavenge so I figured a spiro would be a quick project. This was done as a really half-assed quick project.  The two motors were scavenged from the CD player of the PC and my plan was just to epoxy everything down. That being said, it looks...

Here is another project I've been working on.  The host was machined out of rather thick aluminium with a copper heatsink.  The entire thing is held together by only set-screws and press fits, there is no glue whatsoever. I find that while having a super high powered laser is nice, sometimes I...

Update2: The second part of the project can be found in post 16: http://www.laserpointerforums.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1233639271/16#16 Contains TTL and microcontroller + 16 color beamshot. My next project is to build a yellow laser by combining red and green like rog demonstrated, however in a...

For my second attempt at a lab laser I stepped it up a notch.  This lab style heatsink is huge and looks the part.  Every surface has been machined and the centerpiece is a 3/4" copper block which fits the aixiz module and provides extra cooling. Some basic progress pictures: Surfaces all...

I've read people talking about high efficiency diodes and the wavelength variation among diodes but this is almost ridiculous. Right from the start it was clear that this diode was brighter than the other one, when both were running at ~100mA this one had a visible beam while the other was very...

I received a few sleds from Jake on Friday, but I don't generally keep aluminum tubing around so there isn't much I can do until I get time to pick some material up.  Was itching for a project though, so I grabbed a scrap block of aluminum and a sample of derlin I had laying around. I don't do...

Hi, I am looking for a few ps3 sleds to build a RGB laser like what ROG did. I only need the beamsplitters mounted in a ps3 sled, so sleds that have been harvested are ok. Does anyone have some laying around?
