I set my system up in an old barn for a friend's private house party.. The bass from his system was knocking crap off the ceiling so much that my mirrors were filthy even before I started the laser up. I use a completely open-front case ATM with a small computer style squirrel-cage fan in the rear drawing air in the front and across the laser head and galvo block. I usually don't mind this arrangement since I don't mind the idea of cleaning the mirrors and optics after each gig (which I would do anyway even with a sealed case since I'm OCD about it..). I haven't had any problems in my house with a fog machine. I can run the system for hours without any significant buildup, but you get it into a dirty old building and you'll have a nicely diffuse beam before long. If I were in a similar situation again, I wouldn't even plug the projector in until a few minutes before it was time to start it up. That way the fans wouldn't be running the entire night..

Nice case
Filtered intakes only = positive pressure & clean projector.

I worked on this all week-end and I managed to squeeze everything in. Now I have to disassemble everything again to give the parts a nice black color
No pictures yet, sorry. My camera is not with me at the moment.
I do have a question though. I managed to get the 6200's running nicely, but I do noticed that when scanning very intensely, the Y galvo get's hotter than the X galvo.
Any possible causes? I have them running the ILDA and LM test patterns very nicely though.

Inertia due to the larger mirror?Originally Posted by FourDee

I used equally sized mirrors. And it does get quite a bit hotter. Only when scanning 'difficult frames' (ie. ILDA at full angle ...)
Needs moar photons
how many kpps are you getting out of the 6200s? are those the ones that were on ebay?
Senior Member
I can tune them to 30K, but I'm using different drivers than the ones on ebay ...
I bought the galvo's without drivers

how are you driving them? I was thinking about picking up a pair in case my scanpros decide to go south and melt-down again lol
