The 12 Days of (Laser) Christmas
So I'm working on a couple fun builds and although I'm not ready to share any information about them, I did want to share some early pictures because the volume of stuff is greater than I'm used to working with as an amateur / hobbyist builder. We are about 40 days before Christmas, so here are 40 modules just begging to be lit:
As always, my diode mounts come from Dave at Lasershowparts, colimation lenses and diodes come from DTR along with a few from Ebay and Aixiz, and my Lasorbs (specific for 405nm, 450nm, 520nm, and 638nm/650nm) come directly from the fine folks at Pangolin. It may not look like much, but the cost of these parts alone is US$3K and several days of soldering.
Now I'm sure the fine folks at X-Laser, Kvant or any of the real manufacturers probably have pics of something similar representing $300K+, but this is still the most I've ever assembled at one time.
Do you have other pics along the 12 Days of Christmas theme? Please post here!
