How hot does your laser projector become?

[borgqueenx]

Well i got a WASER, meaning a laser projector with a wooden enclosure. Although having 1cm thick baseplate.
I would like to know how much the temperatures in your laser become when they are turned on for a long time.

Here is my list. I measured blue(blauw) wich is not connected to the baseplate because i cant find a aluminium custom plate. also measured the baseplate and the fan air temperature.

(17:10 also the time i turned the projector on)

very pleased with my results!

Dear Boaz,

That are very nice temps. The projector i have is not getting warm anywhere at all.
everything is feeling cold after 4 hours of use ! really weird !
Yesterday i have thoughts in mind to rebuild the projector.
I want a new enclosure/casing. and now i will do everything right at the first time.
I have fucked so many things up in this hell of a projector.
Only i have noticed the heatsinks from galvo driver are getting very hot when not mounted at a baseplate or something.
I have mounted the drivers at a powdercoated sidepanel of 4 mm. and still not getting warm at all.
When i feel the outside on that place. i don't feel any heat. same with modules. they never get hot or something.

When i build the new casing i think i don't go using fans this time. i hate all the noise.

You can't find a custom baseplate ??? It's quite simple.. you go to www.aluminiumopmaat.nl

sorry english people i don't know how i need to say everything in English.
en zoekt een stuk alu uit wat je nodig bent en eventueel slijp je er zelf een stuk af ???
Ik heb mijn baseplate zelf aan 2 kanten geslepen.. een plaat van 15mm dik.. ik heb hem wat kleiner gemaakt dan dat ie was.
Heeft het werk wel 3 slijpschijven gekost, maar het is niet zo heel erg moeilijk.. ik heb met lijmtangen een ander recht stuk ijzer
vastgeklemd en daar langsheen geslepen.

btw : i think the projector is as cold as ice, because it has a total weight of plusminus 35kg.
And the complete enclosure is 100% 6082 alu except the screws
