a bit on the big side but it was my first attempt and since made them a lot smaller

so they do exist

That's a sweet little build! Very clean construction..

simon does not broadcast his work round, but its second to none.

Here's the first one...in a projector at work.

So nobody has a completed laserman532 quad kit lasing???

In Simon's setup, are there springs in the mirror mounts ?
Or is it just 3 screws and an allen key bolt for the pressure ?
Those mounts look nice and would love more info.

@ hobbybob
there no springs, there are three allen bolts for pulling and two grub screws inbetween for pushing
i will try to take you a pic when i get home from work

they are very good mounts and stable when used correctly

In fairness, Pat only released the quad kit a few months ago. Thus, he's sold a few of them so far. Apparently those early adopters are working on other projects at the moment. Give it some time...

As far as them being "a joke", nothing could be further from the truth. Several people have built quads, even before Pat released his version. I have a quad red sitting on my workbench right now, waiting to be installed in a new projector. (Thanks to MechEng3!) As to when that projector will be finished, however, I have no idea. I've got lots of other projects in the works that are competing for my time.

You can see some pictures of my working setup here too... Working very nice, very tight beam and low divergence! 1.2W 660nm on double TEC (yeah I know, that's pushing the diodes a little).

The TEC driver wasn't finished and was a prototype, I am building now an external TEC + diode driver...

I have another one on the shelf if you are up to the challenge. They will work fine, The mechanics are all there to get r done, It is a kit so you do not have to reinvent the entire the wheel, you just have to install a tire and tube
