So its been about 12 years since I was last on here....seems the laser world has changed a bit...
I pulled my homemade projector out of storage and blew off the dust and fired up the FB3 just to see if it still worked....it kinda sorta does...everything is dirty and out of alignment but there are three colors showing.
I have decided to rebuild and upgrade the homemade blue to something a bit more powerful. My question would be " where to start?, I'm a bit overwhelmed on what's available from across the pond".
Should I buy a ready made 405 and or 450? Or should I revamp my original? I would like to buy one but the flood of products makes it almost impossible to know for sure if I would get one thats worth anything.
Does anybody have any suggestions on who might sell a decent quality blue? Im thinking I would enjoy mixing two 400 somethings and see what I can get. I might also get crazy and upgrade the reds and the green as well.
This is just for hobby use and there are no desire to show anybody the end results but at the same time I want something that shows decent beams. Im going to keep my budget for now under 500 and focus on the blue (s).
Anyway, its good to see some of the ol' timers are still here, the help I received on my build was paramount from these guys.
Thanks, Chuck
