Starting a New Build!

[SaltyRobot]

Time to get active. Been collecting parts and pieces for too long. It's time to make them do something.

Let's see how far I get this weekend.

Weekend One. Not quite as far as I would have liked but at least the major stuff is mounted.

Some old school 506's! I mounted those mirrors!

Looking good... Looks like you sourced many parts from the same people I have. What drivers are you using with the 506s, X-laser I think?

Dupe...

[SaltyRobot]

Yes X-laser.

Diode drivers are in transit from Dave at Lasershowparts.

*never-mind I see it is a fuse holder* What is the rail supply for?

[SaltyRobot]

Yeah not the most compact fuse holder, but I bought 5 of them way back when so figured better use them. CC style fuses fit in them.

I had been using DIN rail mount power supplies before you showed us these other ones. Now that I only have one thing on the Din rail it kind of looks silly.

Weekend 2. It's a box! Didn't have a ton of time but at least got the case made. Should have this thing firing photons by end of next weekend.
