    Default 445 and telescopics

    i built a new 445 module over the past few days and thought i would test the beam with telescopics.

    not great results to be honest






    apeture without telescopics -




    apeture with telescopics as you can see there is a big difference -




    18 metres without telescopics -



    18 metres with telescopics, as you can see a big difference again -

    What power lenses did you use?

    been playing a bit more with some telescopics and this is the best ive managed to get

    without telescopics -






    with telescopics, you get about half the beam size at apeture which is great for fitting on the scanner mirrors but not amazing at distance

    lol no probs

    ive built myself a test rig, two diode holders and a nice big plate to put prism pair and telescopics on. i can compare two of the same diodes side by side or two different diodes at once

    Hahaha, i think you can stop calling Simon the only master dude.
    If you really managed to get the blue to 3x2mm and only 30mm at 18m i think you can call yourself a master Andy !
    Well done, i am so curious how you pulled it off man !
    I didn't fail !
    I just found out 10,000 ways that didn't work.
