A quick plea to all those attending,

I have a shitload of gear but it's occurred to me that I don't have a feasible way to mount my ATOF (PCAOM to you) and galvos in a adjustable fashion.

Probably all pointless as I suspect the xtal in the atof is hosed, f'ing ebay dodgy laserists (I know you lurk here) anyway.

If you have a look at the picture in my avatar there, that's sir stanwaxes setup, I need to do a similar thing and mount my galvos and the xtal within the optical path - I have two sets of optics posts which hopefully will do the trick but if anyone has spare posts or mounts or good ideas please let me know and bring them along.

I'm also short two long runs of cat5 (forgot to bring any) so if anyone has some spare, I can crimp ends on it and use it.. otherwise I'll buy some more ! sod it.

Tah all.

Nige, I'll bring a few post holders 'n' whatnot.
Anything to screw them down to? Or want a mini-breadboard as well to bolt clat too?

I have a small thorlabs bb (decided against bringing the Newport table) but more the merrier

I think my biggest challenge (apart from getting it running) will be mounting the galvos. Single post into single hole on the block will be interesting.

My other issue is I won't be able to see it over everyones multiwatt diode based filth! I request everyone switches theirs off for 20 mins every hour.

I have some of the "proper" kit you're referring to, only problem is everytime I go to put it together I'm sick all over it.

I've brought some of it with me, so you can help me wipe the chunks off.
