    Default Starting a New Build!

    Time to get active. Been collecting parts and pieces for too long. It's time to make them do something.

    Let's see how far I get this weekend.

    Looking good... Looks like you sourced many parts from the same people I have. What drivers are you using with the 506s, X-laser I think?

    Dupe...

    Yes X-laser.

    Diode drivers are in transit from Dave at Lasershowparts.

    Yeah not the most compact fuse holder, but I bought 5 of them way back when so figured better use them. CC style fuses fit in them.

    I had been using DIN rail mount power supplies before you showed us these other ones. Now that I only have one thing on the Din rail it kind of looks silly.

    Weekend 2. It's a box! Didn't have a ton of time but at least got the case made. Should have this thing firing photons by end of next weekend.
