Sweet!! Nice work.

Now show us some beam shots.....

Very nice work! I like compact.

Wow nice work how do you align those dichros? thats the tightest setup I have seen
Also whats up with the Prisms I have a 445 myself and its in a Axzis housing with a glass collimator came that way. I have yet to fire it the projector is currently in use RGY as part of my Christmas display modifications have been made for RGB just no time to install it and align it. I was going to run it at about 300mw to blend with the rest of my lasers. I could put prisms in there is real estate for it just need to know what they do to the beam and where to get them if I really need them.

Merry Christmas
Michael

Hi all

Problems with compact.
I have to do some kind of hinge, to adjust the dichros.So I can lift that side and adjust.
So just two bolts fix and one just to adjust height.
And is stable after all
No more adjust so far.
And the prisms, (I learn here) they help to correct the shape of the beam.
GB is here to buy the prisms.PM Dave.

Thanks for comments and cheers,
Ed
PS Beam shoots coming soon.
I'm close to put all together.

Yesterday I finish adjusting and balance the pallet for nice white.
And guess what?
Today no more green, is dead.

[megaton]

Ok new green 100mW this time.
Install, adjust and ready.
Today another dead green.
I'm adjusting the current accordingly and 20mA less.
So Cheap=Crap.
And the temp is good(I think) never get warm.

So any source of good 12mm greenies . And no to expensive?
Today I gone to try the last 100mW with 60mA less. (same source).540mA.

Cheers,
The green killer

Is that green a CNI baby OEM?

For some reason it *still* looks huge compared to the tiny red and blue diode lasers.
