... shouldn't be a problem -- I'm trying to "stack" different materials (or multiple slices of same and/or different materials) not only in homogenous layers, but too in specific patterns and geometries ... the results will give something like "3D-Nano-printing" with various materials and with any...

Could be deposited a model of photoresist on chrome-coated glass plates?

... I'm doing "LIFT" with my fiberlaser or even with a 10W-laserdiode without need for vacuum :cool: Attached some Images with tests for coating thicknes with copper (the raster image, thickness from single nanometers to roghly 50nm) or creating conducting tracks on any sort of surface (paper,...

Very interesting. I had heard something about the process. Now I have researched a bit on the internet. Do you have the equipment needed for manufacturing? I make optical coatings using the Physcal Vapor Deposition (PVD) method. I have a Leybold Heraeus optical coating machine with an electron...

... if you're interested in some of my methodes. then you can read into LIFT (Laser Induced Forward Transfer) -- it's essentially precoating a transparent sheet or glass plate with a material (cuould be LIFT-coated too), then evaporate it with a laser through this sheet/plate and let it "coat" a...

Hi Viktor, I am located in Europe too, but a little further East (Bucharest - Romania)

Hi Adrian, ... where are you located? I'm from Germany and actively testing/investigating all sorts of "surface coating" for different applications :cool: Viktor

How's the project going? Any significant breakthroughs? ____________________ Marius

Thank you buffo for the very detailed response! Even though my setup is not legit, I have been taking as many reasonable precautions as I can. I truly do not want to make a dangerous situation for anybody. I have ordered the ClubMAX 3000 from Pangolin (with Saturn scanners!) and they are going...

Thanks for the reply, Adam. I might just go the knife-edging route. The "scan speed" of the transducer driven mirror is slow enough that a slightly off-axis beam wouldn't be noticeable. As for the guts, the halogen and focusing lens have all been removed. There is very little left of the...

Yeah! What he said! 😉

Hi Adam, thanks for that neat suggestion. I could do the engraving on my CNC machine myself. I'll bet your 12" clock platter looks awesome. Surprisingly these 3.75" dia. platters make descent laser bounce mirrors and did not noticeable deform the beam shape, at least on the tests I did.

Thank you for sharing and debunking my 'be there or be square' theory. I understand that doing the show is a higher priority than recording video. I've scoured YT for my own 10 years' worth of works, only to find one grainy '87 VHS recording of a Carrie stage production dress rehearsal. Such is...

To clarify Adam's point, the reason the commerce clause applies is because you have to *purchase* the laser projector. That purchase is the commerce that gives the CDRH the teeth to go after the seller's records, and from those records they can find the people who bought from them. You are...

We've been bad about recording video, I admit it. A few people have put together some videos from past SELEMs, however. Here are some links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VupBooxluBw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSxR2TVxVbU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPJzctwHmLo...

Honestly, Edmunds was going to be my suggestion, but yeah - they're prices have gone up quite a bit post-covid. You might want to do some experimenting with the dichros you already have, though, to see if you can make it work. So long as the cut-off wavelength is far enough from whatever...

If you still have the platters from that drive, you can make a cool (and very nerdy) clock with one: take it to an engraver and have them etch the standard clock face numbers around the outer edge. Then install a battery-powered clock mechanism on the back (Amazon sells these for less than 10...

Thanks for sharing, Steve.

Thank you for the wrap up, Adam. It provides great insight into the organizational efforts of you guys to continue pulling it off with every year getting bigger and better. Would love to see some videos, but I get it. Gotta be there to enjoy & contribute to the experience. Nothing about SELEM is...

Let's try this one more time! (I've tried to reply to this thread twice, but both times the forum swallowed my reply and returned a database error rather than posting. I know Spec has been hard at work trying to harden V-bulletin against the bots hammering the server, but it's a tough job, and...

'suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp.' Think again! Perhaps you should invest in a Geiger counter.*nyancat

Thank You. Steve

It’s was great seeing everyone at SELEM this year, sorry I could only attend for 2 days but I had a blast! I wanted to share a pic I took of one of the posters the band gave away, signed by the band and the laserists!

I have a copy of it. I’ll send you a PM.
