PK's Lumia Project

[PKlaze]

Hello. My name is Patrick and I am fairly new to the forum. I have been a inactive member for about a year now and I am ready to start building.

For my first project I have decided to go with a Lumia laser.

My roomate has been building for a while so I have access to and information on the lasers, diodes, mounts, optics, etc.. but, he has not built a Lumia.

If anyone has information on the best rout (not neccssiarily the cheapest) to building or buying the wheel and motor assyembly, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
PK

Hi Patrick,

I do a lot of lumia. See: http://www.photonlexicon.com/forums/...mi+makes+lumia

I'm happy to provide assistance. Lumias are fun projects with a large reward for a small effort.

Thanks swamidog.

I will contact dslijon about the motor and wheel to see where that takes me....

Thanks again,

jon is a good guy. you can't go wrong working with him.

if he's out of motors, you can get some here: https://sdp-si.com/eStore/

for decent lumia, even the .5rpm of these motors is a little fast. i recommend building a little speed controller circuit.

I'm going to make another batch of glass lumia wheels. These are 4", make a great lumia and come with a new Hankscraft motor (.5 rpm @ 3VDC).

If you or anyone else on the forum is interested, PM me.

Awesome!

Displacer's lumia wheel/motor kits are excellent. I strongly recommend them. Here's some footage of a projector I made with one of his kits:

Gregs motors and wheels are SUPER-- great for the price too.
1/2 rpm is perfect. You will not be dissapointed.
