Maybe selling.. RGB laser.. offers?

Chinese import that was almost ready for the garbage. I had to do a LOT of work to get this up and running.
Basically reworked the entire thing.. new power supplies.. new diode drivers.. only thing I didn't mess with
was the actual lasers up top. It has 40k galvos. ILDA works fine. DMX is there, but not hooked up. Same with
the mic input for music sync. There, but not hooked up. I didn't have any need for them, so didn't bother.
There's also an SD card that you can apparently put files onto and play from, but no clue how it works.

The red beam is a little fatter than the green and blue, but the color mix is very nice. The white is *very*
white and doesn't have that blue-ish tint like a lot of RGB projectors.

This was a real labor of love putting this together. Total investment in this project was $3,500. Not sure if
I actually want to sell it or not. Maybe if the price is right. Throw me some offers..

I'm a disabled veteran on a super low income and kind of need money more than I need a laser right now. =(

Also, I really (really, really) don't want to ship this. It would be very difficult for me to package this up and
get it to UPS or FedEx. I would much prefer you come and pick it up. I live in the Savannah, Georgia area (USA).

Measured outputs:

Red (638 nm) = 1.826 watts
Green (532 nm) = 1.654 watts
Blue (465 nm) = 1.214 watts

Total = 4.694 watts

What are the outside dimensions of the box?

Also, can you put up an ILDA test pattern at 30k or 40k?

[lloyd33]

It's a 12" x 12" x 12" cube.. well, ever-so-slightly larger than that.. maybe 12 1/4".

Yes. I can do that. Give me a few hours. I'll take some more pictures of the unit also.

So, a couple things worth noting:

These pictures were taken on a white wall about 10 feet away from the projector. It was the best I could do on short notice.
The dichros were adjusted for beam alignment at a slightly further far-field distance (about 30 feet). So at the closer distance,
the R-G-B beams appear to not be aligned correctly. The dichros are fully adjustable, so you could set them for whatever throw
distance you want.

As you can see in the pictures of the unit itself, there is no front 'glass' at the galvo output. This means the galvo mirrors are
dusty, the dichros are dusty, and the lenses on the lasers themselves are probably dusty as well. These will all need a good
cleaning for maximum power output and clarity.

My DSLR photo taking skills are somewhat out of practice. If a picture looks blurry, it's because of my (lack of) photography skills.

Anyway, here are the full-size, unedited photos straight off my Nikon D80. Enjoy:

Thank you for all the pics, looks great.

But I think I'll pass -- 1 cu. foot is too big for my living room shelf. Wish I had more space.

Hopefully someone else will be interested.

No worries. Thanks for getting back to me at least.
