Hi ppl! Sorry for dropping out of the thread. Cancer and what not happened in between, but back at it now. I’m still considering this idea, but feel a bit stuck. What parts would you order to create a laser that you can regulate the temperature output (this equates to power input to the...

Thanks Immo! Will have a look at Multimode Diodes. Any brand or manufacturer you'd recommend?

----- Alrighty then, thank for that @Immo1282 will read up on buck, boost, buck/boost and SEPIC to see what it entails. Never even heard those until I got onto the forum. Just proves how little one actually knows haha. Might you have some good quality tips on where to read up on these or maybe a...

----- I do belive that a single laser will be able to burn, but it will only burn a single point and will always burn on the same location of the thing you´d like to burn. My thought process was that with more laser you´ll be able to burn a bigger area. Maybe this is inecessary? My thought...

----- Okay lets skip the mystery since it isnt helping at all. I´d like to heat up dry herbs and concentrates :geek: I´m having a hard time beliving that a traditional resitance heating will be more efficient if you design the laser encapsulation to be optimal for the usage or am I still off...

----- I was suspecting that, I´ll probably have to bump up everything in the list I set up to support more power. I made the list for a single laser diode but after realizing that one laser wouldn't be enough to burn and produce enough smoke I decided to add more lasers. Will have to bump up...

-------- Thanks for the input and advice Immo! Really appreciate it. Heatsink will be thought of and will probably have one made for the project since i dont think there are any out there that will fit the use.. :( What are you using your lasers for? :)

Thanks for the warm welcome @BowtieGuy @Hap @RedCowboy @PhaserBoy @paul1598419 @Immo1282 :) Feeling like home already! @RedCowboy quick reply to your point, I´m assuming that with a laser you can in a confined space more rapidly heat a single point thus produce more "fumes" in a less amount of...

Hey, Got the great tip from Immo1282 to post an introduction of myself, posted in the help section of the forum first. Excuse my manners, I was raised by wolves and baboons and they´re not much for maners. Jokes aside, I´m a 27 year old guy with roots in South America that was born and raised...

Hey, Just found the forum a couple of days ago and it has helped me quite a lot. I must admit that this is my first build ever. I´d like to build an laser with multiple laser diodes where you can control the power output to be able to decide temperature on the decided object to be...
