Excellent, just the page I've been looking for!

the diagram above explains very clearly. Many thanks to the poster as this will help considerably

I'm a novice in this area but in my opinion the heatsink is probably a very crutial part. especially on a high powered laser. SOmething I'll have to remember when I start my first build in a few months.

yeah that would great if you could. Other peoples work always inspires me to create a thing of beauty (or uber coolness) of my own mullarice

Thanks mike. I've done some research on it already over the past few hours, but i think its going to take a few weeks for me to get a full grasp of how a laser works. Rushing it is probably the biggest mistake so i'll take my time

This is quite embaressing but I'm a complete noob at laser builds, but I want to build one. What components should be on my shopping list? What pitfalls should I be aware of during my build? I discovered this website totally by accident, and what a find it was! thanks for any help in advance

totally understand where you're coming from, but accidental breakage is part of learning. Experience doesnt come cheap. And I'm a noob :(

Re: FS: >50mW Blu-Rays, two models... Any interest An excellent selection of builds my friend. Didnt know there was such a big community for lasers. I see my hours disappearing on this site! :)

Buying Pre made lasers is easy, but building one is alot more fun. Sure its tricky but it makes yours unique. I haven't tackled it just yet but I definately will be. got all the tools just need the guidance and a steady hand.
