my first green projector

[halen]

it's still "in progress", but it works. becouse i dont like writing -> photos tell much more

i hate D25 connectors so i use XLR7 instead (fuck about standards ), projector is still missing some connectors but it's working... power connector is powercon, XLR3 for external safety switch, 22mm hole for keylock switch, XLR7 for ilda (X, Y , blanking, common ground)

case is from thomann.de (http://www.thomann.de/fi/adam_hall_87409v.htm) with custom made front and backpanels.

laser and galvos are from ebay, laserworld stuff...

Very very cool. Congrats.

What are the specs on the laser?

XLR's are cool. I use them for a solar powered 12V system (modified, with fuse links, keyed so normal ones won't plug to power boards). Good for 16A each. But DB25's are ok, if you want them to be strong, mounting two of them parallel to each other, and binding the cables of the two plugs firmly about 2" back from their entry points, will do it. With them screwed tight, they are very strong then, no flex, except in the flex, if you follow...

Laserworld green-250E, TTL only, so i hope that i can change / modify it to analog in near future

dont forget some kind of filter for that fan, so that you can keep all that dust & whatever out of and off your components

[halen]

that fan was only for component layout, it's 12vdc model from computer and i need 230vac model...

i hope that i can get missing parts after christmas, 22mm keylock - ordered from some random seller from ebay, 72mm UV0 filter - local camerashop and that AC fan...

[LaserGuy216]

I have the 230vac fans if you need them

Looks nice!!

Although, you do realize that since you opted to "fuck about standards ", you'll have to rewire or build an adapter cable for virtually any commercially-available controller you might want to use.

They're called "standards" for a reason.

i already have adapters, but generally DB25 is poor connector when used in gigs/parties/etc. its mechanically poor, 1 color projector uses only 7 pins of 25, needs screwdriver to lock them....

also i plan make some XLR7 <-> RJ45 adapters, becouse cat5 is cheap

this projector is mainly for my personal use. legislation for lasers is in finland like training the G-mans hobby....

That's cool - sturdy, reusable adapter cables can definitely make life easier!

I think some of our fellow members from "down under" also use adapters and CAT5 cable in some of their gigs - you might want to give "Dave" or "Aijii" a shout for tips.

VERY professional metal-work and labeling on your case - looks great!
