Show off your Laser projector !

**Laser Zone** · 08-14-2009, 23:17

Well I must say to all you guys , Great projectors , Very nice high quality builds !!! I wish i was apart of this form before I started construction of my laserscope project. This project was originally suppose to be a test fixture for the repair of laserscope ktp components . Hvps , lvps , q drivers ex . I never did turn it into a projector.

My bodgy little scanner

I've since added a 90mm fan to it, but it's only green. I need to save up for a 500mw> 640nm laser.

Well THINGS if you lived here in Florida I would gladly connect 40 watts of just green to your bodgy little scanner ! Nice compact projector you have there sir !! Well now that you can get a lasercope for penny's , You may never worry about unlimited green !!!

LaserZone: One word, Awesome.

Too bad you never finished it. It is so close.
I especially like the "school projector cart" frame. How much weight do you think you saved?

Thanks Chad !!!! A laserscope system weighs , I believe 640 lbs. The laserscope components where a total of 240 lbs. So Add the video cart and thats your total . There was allot more I wanted to do with it like a nice digital controller . side iodized black panels , As you can see the head was cut in half to save wight . The head was to be closed in a nice enclosure , but none of this never happened . Anyway, glad you enjoyed it !!!

Hello guys

The progress of my projector is going slow but it,s coming together now.
The text on the plate is getting engraved next week.
In the right corner you see the tiny 22 amps/5v powersupply and next to that the 2 24/2amps powersupply for the scanset.
The scanset is a raytrack with scansafety so if the scanner fails the laser shut off simultanisly. The red module is a 600mw from kvant and the green a 500mw from laserwave.
The design of the case is my own.
Hopefully you like the pics!

**chad** · 08-29-2009, 05:50

Looking great! What is the board in the center, bottom half?

chad

**edison** · 08-29-2009, 06:01

Hello chad. The board in the middle is the kvant driverboard.
I have some minor problems to get it analog but i will get it sorted within a few weeks

As you can see there is room for one more driver. Everything is prewired so adding the blue is easy

**FourDee** · 08-29-2009, 06:02

The Kvant driver

**chad** · 08-29-2009, 09:35

Aah ok.

Thanks.

Hi guys i got to tell you that i was inspired by some really good DYI laser projectors in this forum. I seen some that are way better than the ones u buy, thats why i decide to try to build one. Well this is my first build i am a noob so wish me luck and please grade me, give me ideas and suggestions of making it better thank you...
Here what i got so far Picture are below i know that im going to have a hard time tunning my galvos remember im a noob.

inside a plastic case is not a good idea

**carlos3621** · 09-15-2009, 08:12

yeah,, that plastic case might start looking like swiss cheese

**Kiwi Tinker** · 09-15-2009, 08:53

Heya Frito

I'm lovin the case, very 007'ish.

I had all kinds of 'outlandish' idea, including a flyscorcer thing made out of 5mm ally checker plate or just using my mailbox to mount it in, then after every gig i'd just put the mail box back and it would get used for it's intended perpose between gigs.

But i just ended up with a rectangle that was 3 by 2 by 1 deep. Still i like it even if it's shape demonstrates a total lack of artistic imagination.

The components you have there i think are the bones of a very good laser.

My advice is to just keep playing, i learn when i play.

cheers

our exhibition projector, we don't had smoking, sorry for no show pictures.

**ElektroFreak** · 09-15-2009, 11:44

^That's pretty sweet! Love the plexi case..

thats a pelican case, they are very strong...

personally i would have put all the connectors on the aluminum panel and not made any holes in the case to retain the waterproof/airtight feature of the pelican case

**Misebeam** · 09-15-2009, 14:22

Well here are all of the tid-bits of my laser build, some pictures are blury, and on ftp but fun to see the progresion of my build.

**ElektroFreak** · 09-15-2009, 15:06

^That's a pretty insane setup!

**300EVIL** · 09-15-2009, 15:26

Here's my little projector. I built this enclosure around it one day before heading to SELEM. Unfortunately it was a rush job and it's not finished. Note the lack of exhaust fans.

I was able to transport my projector on the plane in one piece though, that was nice. The whole box is 12X12X6 and can fit in a carry on bag.

Here are the specs:

75mW of 532
200mW of 660
270mW of 473
LW-50K Scanners tuned to 30K

Soon I'll upgrade my red and green to some decent LaserWave modules. Probobly gonna need more space though.

**hobbybob** · 09-15-2009, 15:48

Wow, nice compact box, how are the sides that are standing up, connected to the baseplate, i can't see how that is done. I like the 2 level design, but with the possibility of taking it apart.

**Misebeam** · 09-15-2009, 15:50

oh Yeah, forgot the finished product pictures:

Thanks! Yes, two if the sides, rear and right are held in place with four allen screws on the top and bottom base plates. As for the other two side panels, just the bottom plate has two screws at the bottom as the top baseplate is smaller than 12X12. I could have machined some studs for them but it seems plenty rigid enough when assembled. The baseplates are held together with some tapped and drilled legs I made on a lathe. The whole top seperates with 4 allen screws and has a long umbillical cord with quick disconnects. It makes taking the projector apart a fairly quick job for emergency repairs. Though, I did build the thing like a tank so I wouldn't have to make repairs often.

Frito,

I see some resemblance to my projector in your design. I like it. I have the same Pelican case, but got it after I finished my projector, or I would have used it. You are on the right track, keep up the good work.
