I pot modded my core and it has lasted about a week so far. If i adjust the focus it will pop balloons very easy and make electrical tape and rubber smoke.
I want to get a 5mw laser to pot mod, is the Leadlight 110 or 105 better for pot modding? These will be more powerful than a core is when it is pot modded, right? Thanks.
Does anybody know the wavelength or power of the laser in an HP laser printer? I just took one out of our printer that died. It had some interesting lenses in it.
I was playing around with a fiber optic cable and my X-85, but had no luck focusing a beam out of the cable. When held close to it, I could pop a balloon and make electrical tape smoke.
I have had my X-85 for about three months and I love it. It lights matches, pops balloons, cuts electrical tape, lights fireworks, and much more. For $160 w/out extras or $180 with extras I thought that it was a good deal.
I am pretty sure that I will try do build one myself, but I would still like to know how much someone would charge to build one for me if I sent my diode and a flashlight (if I can find one) to them
I want my next laser to be able to do some burning tricks but not be over $200.
Is there any difference in how good a red laser would do at this compared to a green laser?
