    help, laser no longer focusing after re-assembly, just a big blob now

    ok, i sort of fixed it. the set screw was actually to hold the diode piece. the lens screws on to that but is meant to be adjusted. however, its diverging so much (seems like more now than before) and its very difficult to get an "infinity" focus. It is very high power, so it burns easily...

    help, laser no longer focusing after re-assembly, just a big blob now

    i managed to pry the board open, but inside it looked to be epoxied. and the fine thread, i think they aren't threads but just machining marks. its very very fine. and i am pretty sure its one piece. however, the "this may also be a union" is probably a union that's epoxied too. as for...

    help, laser no longer focusing after re-assembly, just a big blob now

    Yes that's exactly the set screw to hold the focus. it's loose over time and due to dropping. I didn't know the focus fixed and tried to turn it and made it looser over time. hence my sharpie spot. now the diode is also loose. not sure how to open the whole thing to fix. Sorry I really...

    help, laser no longer focusing after re-assembly, just a big blob now

    ok, i think i found the issue. when i shake the "head" something is loose... not sure how to disassemble it further to fix it. but i am guessing the diode is moving around therefore not aligned

    help, laser no longer focusing after re-assembly, just a big blob now

    I bought a big pointer from fb back in the day. the parts had start coming loose, so I took it apart (just trying to figure out what was loose) and after putting things back, it no longer focus. I don't think i lose any lens. it is just a diode, a collimating lens in a fixed position? but...

    how to focus a beam?

    I am always a geek, and was into laser earlier but life got in the way I guess :D I will report back once i am able to fit it with the new g2 lens that's coming (hopefully it is true g2 since I am buying off ebay, one never knows for sure) I did notice some very light (soft?), and very wide...

    how to focus a beam?

    The issue was that after I received it, the beam and focus was terrible, no matter how I adjust it (out of focus and terrible splash). That's why I had to take it apart and started cleaning the lens hoping to get rid of the splash, no matter what i tried, I can't get rid of the splash, then I...

    how to focus a beam?

    thought i would post an update after I "played" around with it and read a lot more from here. The pointer I bought here actually appears to have a poor lens setting, there's no thread on the lens holder, so it was loose, but after me messing with it a few times, its totally loose now I might...

    Sale thread/ Hosts/Heat Sinks/Focus adapters/lasers

    I am looking for a green or violet/blue to add to my collection. I want a solid, decent, fun piece, without going over $70. Was hoping for a used one. Something that can pop latex balloon not just black ones. And maybe easy to add some light saber add on. I am learning that mass produced...

    how to focus a beam?

    Should I also paint the inside black? is the aluminum color causing the glare / flair effect, or am I completely wrong? How do you guys combat glare? I see the link has the focus ring unpainted.

    how to focus a beam?

    Thanks guys, I think I figured it out. The head piece is constructed of a tube that hold the lens, and when I disassembled it and put it back several times the tube thread got moved just a tiny bit up and down. So the lens is now not focused. Just a few fractions of a mm result in poor focus...

    how to focus a beam?

    The more I play with it the worse focus it seem to have, I must had the lens at an angle before to get “good” aim at 10feet because I think I finally have it now the burn focus is about 4 inches from the pointer. At 10 feet I get a huge circle showing all the dust on lens and glare ring :(. I...
