I feel your pain. My diode was connected to the drive with a 2 pin female fan connector. My friend accidentally tugged on it and it came unplugged, however he accidentally plugged it back in wrong. So the polarity got reversed. Now my diode is on its last leg, only putting out 260 mW and...

Alright that is good to know! Thank you!

I had a quick question and I didnt feel like it was worth starting a new post: So i recently purchased an A130 and I am using a LM317 driver running at about 900 ma. So my question is if the diode can share the same heat sink as the LM317t. I know according to the data sheet the tab of the...

How do you like your IR laser? I had one out of a old CD-RW and I loved this little thing, it was greater than 100mW and I found it burned like almost no other laser because of the absorption of the stuff I was burning. My build: I ran it off the drive from a DX green 50mW module at 250mA...

Any laser can hurt your eye even a 5mW. I recommend buying a pair of safety goggles if you are going to be doing lots of burning but if you are just using it for star pointing than you should be fine. Also search on youtube how to make laser safety goggles sometimes for lower power lasers you...

First Off Welcome to the forums! Well ps3 diodes are 2 in 1 they are red and blue which makes for a cool pointer but they don't burn i think the max output is around 20mw which would still be a nice pointer. You will need a drive and you will need to search for the pin-out for the red and...

UPDATE: Laser burnt out!! It wasn't from over drive but from the reflection of the crystal i had in front of it. I think it wasn't hot or anything

the ones i borrowed from my freind are like deep red to near IR 700nm to 850nm i think

hello everybody, I was kinda bored the other day when i found my old burnt out DX 50 green module. The strange thing is it happened to be laying next to a very old CD-RW drive (not a burner.) So i got the idea to take apart the drive and hook it up to the modules driver. I started at about 100...

I just bought one of those red switches they are so bad ass!!!!!!!!!!

Well i have heard some bad reviews about dark-lasers but they seem to have some good deals PHR-803T Diode In Aixiz Focusing Module [PHR-803T in module] - $14.99 : Dark Lasers, The one-stop shop for all your DIY laser needs! O yeah and they are always sold out lol so this is useless

Hey Guys, Just wanted to do a review on the DX 50mW module. Heres link:DealExtreme: $16.43 50mW 532nm Green Laser Module (3V 11.9mm) So first impressions. Pros The lasers is super bright actually a little scary how bright it is with out safety goggles. The beam about (1-2 feet coming...

Well its depends how strong your red laser is.

I would go with 2 BR's with a PBS cube to get lots of burning power.

Yeah ok thanks

Sweet build man

They probably will not ship to US, but I hope o-like drops their prices too

well the problem is the edges of the plastic lens are breaking off every time i try to unscrew it its really jammed in there

Hey whats up, So my little bro got mad at me so of course he goes for what I loves most and he gets my laser and threw it out the door literally. It landed on the focusing ring. It bet the plastic aixiz lens down on the side it hit and compacted it it seems into the head of the module. I have...
