Prism Pair NOT a good choice

The prisms mounting template is from Lasertack (just like Zoof template)
Prisms are from Rob for 520 nm
Hate to tell you....but your 25% and 38% optical power loss is typical when using a Prism Pair !!!
To reduce the beam astigmatism.... Drop the PP and go with a 6X set of Cylindrical Lenses....and suffer about 2~4% loss.
VERY nice build !!!!
