I sent Maxyz 2 PM's late on 9/12 and still have not heard back yet.

Chuck has recently got out of hospital after a rather serious operation. I guess he is not at his best right now. Give him time to get some recovery and I'm sure he will reply to you.

all gone, crap i was saving for one of those will you be getting any more andy, if not where did you get them from, or do you know of any where i can get somthing close to it 200mw+ or a sourse of reliable dvd diodes that i could use with a die4drive
thanks

There is an auction for 5, 180mW diodes, somewhere on eBay, I cannot find it now. They have a few for more than 5, 20 and 100 I think, but I figure 5 should be enough. Just a thought.

edit, here is the auction... BIN for $50, but they are from S Korea...

i would buy a CNI green and i still may, i agree with a good quality green. espically after my aixiz went for no reason!

again im not saying maxyz arent good, just reds are so cheap now my personal view is its a little over priced.

Sometimes you get what you pay for, Andycon...

By your logic, CNI DPSS lasers are overpriced for green and blue, because there are cheaper lasers out there. But if you look into it, you'll find that people buy CNI lasers because they're built better, they have outstanding beam specs, and they consistently out-perform (and out-last) other lasers. Does that make them overpriced?

Maxyz modules are the CNI of reds... In my opinion, they're the best value for your money. Yes, you can buy a DVD module and a cheap driver, put it all in an Axis housing with a plastic lens, and end up with a red laser for less money. (Potentially $100 less, even) But it's nothing close to what a Maxyz module offers in terms of beam quality, PSU stability, over-voltage protection, linear blanking response, or thermal management, to say nothing of the outstandingly rugged package it comes in. That doesn't make the Maxyz modules over-priced, it makes them cost more than a cheap alternative. (There *is* a difference between those two terms.)

I'm not cracking on you for the lasers you had for sale. I'm sure they were quite nice, and the folks that bought them from you seem pleased with them. But as LaserBen pointed out, you've never done a side-by-side comparison of your laser and a Maxyz module. I think if you had the opportunity to play with one for a while you'd understand why so many people here are converts. (And for the record, when I first saw the Maxyz modules on E-bay a few years ago, I also thought they were overpriced. But after I got my first one, I realized how much better they were than anything else I had used before, and that they really were a better value overall.)

Each to their own. I think they are great value
