DT40 Wide Shots

[mccarrot]

unless you get 650nm large mirrors fitted

LOL!!!

a typical 650nm laser got a 5mm beam.

To not spill over the mirror at a 90deg scan angle you need a minimum mirror width of.... rofl.........

13,4mm!

I seriously doubt if 14mm wide mirrors will fit these galvos.

You can see in the pictures gottaluvlaser posted some of the red is missing at one side of the fan.

i know they wont be perfect

but im going to use dt40 wides with larger mirrors on for my red project

So using 635nm or 650nm flashlight laser are a waste of money with these scanners.

lol, why is that? because at some extreme angles a color get cut off slightly? Reds get cut off on *all scanners* so, these are no different. yes, they get cut off more at extremes. But damn man, lol...you could find a negative in a pile of $1M dollar bills couldnt you?

these scanners are the best scan systems in *many* peoples opinions that have hit the scanner market. For the price of these, (what, $550-$600?? ) for a system like this with the angles available, and this good of a quality system, who in their right mind would say, "they arent worth it?"

I run cambridge scanners, i run DT systems and I have had Scan pro systems. Cambridge is 4 times the cost of these. are they 4X the quality? nope.

If we all really want to unbunch our panties, keep the scan angles at jeez, even 50-60% and the angles *still* are stupid huge!!!

Mccarot, i love ya man, i'll buy you a beer anytime but damn man, you could find a negative in a cure for cancer and world hunger! lol...

Hey sorry that I sound negative.

Those galvo look awesome, I only wanted to point out you better use 642nm red or 655nm red lasers with a tight beam with ANY wide angle, else you will loose allot of power. Its a nobrainer for most of us, but not everyone understands the bigger scanangle the smaller the beam you need.

all good.
