I recieved my laser yesterady. Everything seems to be in good working order. Thanks for doing the legwork getting these lasers yob. I guess either my joke or karma didn't work out so well for me, I ended up with an 80mw :) (btw, Thanks for metering the lasers that is a plus for me). I am going...

Sounds awesome. I know because this is the first laser that I bought from the forum here that is it sure be be super awesome and way above the listed spec right? wink wink, nudge nudge. Lol, anyway glad to hear they have already arrived.

If there is still one open, pm me and I will give you my address and paypal you the money.

Re: For Sale, Scratch Built 445 1.3W (lots of pics) I really like this host. Would you happen to have any similar ones maybe lacking the safety features and indicator led, but in all aluminum? If so, what kind of pricing would you want, if not then what kind of pricing on making me something...

You are probably right it isn't the greatest idea for a higher powered laser. I would still love to do it even if it was only on a 5mw. EDIT: oh yeah, last night before I fell asleep I was reading exactly what you are saying about the capacitive touch sensors. Actually i found several different...

have not been around these forums for at least a couple of years. Anyway, I remember reading about a project this college student did where he basically built a touch sensor onto his laser so that there were not moving parts on it. It used some really low voltage jfet or something like that. The...

rofl mike i wanted to make the same statement but i figured i would just leave it alone ...

rocket either of those should work the laser (i believe) is 650nm. maybe other lasers you plan on getting would influence your buy if you are going to deal with something closer to IR the get the second pair.. or if you are going to get a 635(orangish) then you would probably want the first

sorry to hear that ... you should make them replace it

... that sucks i was just contemplating a new laser from dx ... i already had it on my wish list. as far as diachi's comment i am with pullbangdead.. should not be doing any false advertisements about safety..

... washers for a heatsink? i hope they were a very snug fit on the module

no one seems to be mentioning the dealextreme 200mw red laser... anyway i think it would be a better experience for you to build your own anyway. however, with a 200mw laser i would suggest you buy a pair of safety glasses so you don't hurt your eyes looking at the dot. the goggles alone will...

Awesome... someone took my advice, that is a first i think...
