great! I'll do that =)

perfect! your amazing man, I appreciate all the input ;)

Sounds good! And when you say drlava boost drivers, do you mean the micro flexdrive??? And what mA should I preset it at? Remember I want some real power, enough to light some cigars and burn things at a distance. http://hacylon.case.edu/ebay/laser_diode/Micro_FlexDrive.php P.s What kind of...

Hello guys I've been enjoying my dorcy jr blu ray laser for quite some time now, but I've grown a little tired of it :D... I want a new project to work on. I've decided I want to build a red version of the dorcy jr.. Heres what I've got so far 1. one dorcy jr old style flashlight 2. one dark...

lol I guess a portable c02 laser wouldn't be possible??? :D

Yes mines is a PHR 405nm PHR-803T Blu Ray Laser Diode [PHR-803T] - $17.28 : High Tech DealZ, Simplifying the LASER Hobby! Actually when focused it does sting my hand and does smoke when I point it at dark objects. I was looking at some of the diodes hightechdeals sells and I found the one that...

Thank you Cenobite9! I'm very proud of it actually. I since then have built two dorcy lasers. I'm still not completely satisfied with the power... Right now it is running at 120ma, not bad for the burning power, I was told the 6x that hightechdealz sells are quite an improvement doubled with a...

Thanks for the info. I was looking at the sled on this website http://www.*****************.com/shop/product.php?id_product=7 The price isn't to bad, do you know where I could find just the diodes? Right now my laser looks great, but really doesn't burn as the ones I've seen in the videos...

lol that is funny :D. So what kind of driver do you have, is a flexdrive like the one I bought? And this diode, I don't think hightechdealz sells it right? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm wanting something really powerful for myself in the future.

Jesus! That thing has got to be really powerful. I bet it melts away things at a distance.

It sure will :D Hey Id love to see pictures of yours, what settings do you have yours? P.s What do you mean about duty cycles? Is that the amount of time I should use it then leave it off for it to cool down?

Thank you so much for all the info ;) really appreciate it. Guess I'll pick up one of those lens kits as soon as my drivers arrive.

I think it was mainly the heat, the soldering iron I was using was old, but like you said its all a learning experience, kind of a pricey experience :D whatever its just money. Can't wait to try them out at that mA... Will that dramatically improve the power on the unit? Maybe 10-15%??? Do you...

went and placed an order for two more diodes with the housing and two Micro FlexDrive's at 120mA... :bowdown:

you wouldn't guess what happened. I went to re-solder the joints and i accidentally broke the driver :( guess I'm off to buy another. Previously I had them powered at 115mA should I go a bit higher? I just don't want to worry about it dieing on my so fast.

lol yes it does sting quite a bit, and slightly burns things :D. That's a hell of allot of power for just the lens :) wow! Kind of pricey though... Maybe I'll wait until I have the cash to build another one. Actually I was thinking of building a red laser this time, I heard there much more...

lol yeah I was thinking the same thing about the solder joints, I will re do them. This is what I'm currently using Aixiz Laser Module Housing - Blank [Aixiz] - $3.39 : High Tech DealZ, Simplifying the LASER Hobby! 405nm PHR-803T Blu Ray Laser Diode [PHR-803T] - $17.28 : High Tech DealZ...

Just to double check, could anyone confirm my soldering is correct? ;) P.s Is there a way to boost the power? In other words increase its burning capability? Possibly changing the lens or doing something to the driver.

messed around with the focus and its right on ;) silly me.
