My take on the baby RGV

**dave** · 05-21-2010, 18:41

Managed to get it down to 100mm x 60mm.. Could probably go a little smaller if I really tried, but not this time....

Pretty cute eh.. Now I just gotta try to squash it in a tiny box

Dave, I like your layout better than mine, yours uses one less mounts than mine. I dont have a green laser could you post the dimensions because I would like to make a mount for one. We could make this the RGV thread. I didnt have any optics or cubes so I used my 45 degree things to simulate cube placement.

Both of those look great! I have been planning on doing one also, you guys beat me to it.

Mine is still a ways out. I have to finish another project but I have been collecting parts and will get to it eventually.

I would like to see them fired up!

I thought about the layout a bit, and it occurred to me that the quad red layout would work well with a rgv..

the dimensions of the cni module are just under 12mm in diameter ( fits perfectly in a 12mm sized hole/ clamshell ) and 35mm long.. The case is at positive potential, so it has to be insulated from the base.. Ill post a few pics of it going once I have the drivers tidied up, what I have at the moment was just kludged together to get everything going quickly..

Nice work Dave! Some great machining there!

What kind of power are you expecting from this beast?

Nice work Dave

Smart thinking on the layout

I presume the layout is something like this

Blue, then red, then green..

Apparently it was Adrian's idea..

Does anyone know the CNI model number for the baby green?

Am I correct in thinking this is currently considered the smallest/highest powered module currently available?

**Stoney3K** · 05-27-2010, 12:57

Now the wait is until somebody replaces the 405 with a 500mW 445 diode, and we're ready to set the record for the smallest RGB ever!

Can we get a measure on compactness of a module/projector? How about 'lumens per cubic inch'?
