Laser Bit

While experimenting with a PL530 , I felt a bug stinging me on my belly. It wasn't a bug - it was the laser. Be careful!

Re: Anybody still here?

yeah, I know fans cause vibrations. I'll do the same as I do with the fans on my C315M - turn them off while I'm doing a shot.

Re: Anybody still here?

Mine gets real hot. I stuck some fans on the heat sink and controller with some masking tape - runs nice and cool, beautiful beam. I'll try to attach some muffin fans in a nicer way.

Re: Osram PL530 530nm laser diodes tested @75mw SLM

I have not had good success with Dave's driver or using a buck boost. The last try with a buck boost I got a lot of power out but near nothing after turning off and starting the next day. I am in the process of getting components to put together soda"s circuit steampunking with a perfboard.

Re: Drying silver halides emulsion with alcool ?

Be careful, agitating with the emulsion down is a good way to wear a hole in the emulsion.
