Re: Hex DIY Red Laser - The ULTIMATE burner idea! I have considered using six 1 watt 808 nm units in 9mm cases, with a green aiming beam, but don't want to get into active cooling if I don't have to. Maybe next time. =)

Re: Hex DIY Red Laser - The ULTIMATE burner idea!  Yes, and no.  You cannot take _parallel_ beams and combine them with simple lenses, as far as I know.  For that, it seems you need beam splitter cubes or other reflective superimposition tricks.  However, note that if you take away the...

Re: Hex DIY Red Laser - The ULTIMATE burner idea! Hi Guys, thanks very much for the optics bench link.  Here's what I came up with.  The Aixiz module lenses are focused to maybe 2 to 3 inches, and the modules are aimed to a tight spot the same distance away.  This part is like a simple short...

Re: Starting tonight, 13 Sept - new GB for 16xdiod Just ordered 5, and 5 Aixiz mounts.  Thanks for this wonderful service! If these work out I'll probably want ten more with mounts in a couple months - if this situation or similar is still available, that is. BTW, I solved the problem of...
