New projector build

DIY look? Looks pretty damn good to me!

Interesting that you built a red-blue laser, seeing as green is the most common and cheapest. I guess you'll add one soon enough.

Yes I am fitting a 1 watt green from Rob + the red unit is temporary, I am going to fit one of Rob's 640nm Laserwave modules.

Looking good buddy

funny i used to have blue laser just like that one

you are going to have to wind the green way down to get a good white ballance .... what power 640 are you getting .... im eagerly waiting for the next installment

all the best .... Karl

Hi Karl, hows Sweden?

You can't have too much green! Seriously; I know it will have to be throttled back for the white balance, but plenty of green will be handy for other effects, and I do plan on upping the blue power later in the year. As for the red; I will have to discus that with Rob, but I will be purchasing the largest that funds will allow.

Cheers

Karl, have you figured out where you are yet?

[ionlaser555]

It's just a pair of Sony long open cans in Aixiz housings in New Wish heatsinks (from DX). I have replaced the lenses with coated glass jobs, removed the springs and used nitrile O rings to stabilize the lens adjusters (you can just see the purple showing in the closeup pics) which stops them wobbling like a nodding dogs!

Hi
cool build
What size diode was in the DX heatsink befor you put the aixizs in there could i put a TO-9 (9mm) diode in one one.

thanks

They where 5.6mm diodes in a brass module, exactly the same size as an Aixis only better (they use a screw down collar to retain the diode and are brass throughout) only thing is; I'd already installed the long cans in the Aixis modules

One watt of green added tonight.

That looks nice! Have you turned that green down? Looks a bit weak to be a watt and mix that well with those two diodes...
