My 'Little' 532 projector project is now finished

[smogthemog]

Thanks for the comments

I measured the output with the beam passing through a 45 degree bounce red dichro so as to get rid of any stray IR. I got 247mW then.
I get 245mW the other side of the scanset. It really is a nice module, am very happy with it.


The Box is made by Fibox www.fibox.com and is an ATEX explosion proof junction box. Model number FEX PC-7

We had some water jet cut round pieces of 10mm Ally that where scrap off of the water jet cutter so I nabbed one of those before they went into the scrap bin and cut off 4 edges to fit the box.

There is a fan already on the back of the LD module but I may have to add another as the module does run fairly warm. I may even heat sink compound it to the base plate.

I also intend on getting rid of the flying mains lead and having an IEC socket in the side to make it a little more presentable

I thought I had made some tight projectors, but this takes the biscwit!

How the hell did you get your pudgy fingers in there Jim?

NICE!! Small size laser projector.

I love the white box.

The box is lovely. The lid nuts are big enough to tighten down with your fingers which makes it nice and easy to work with

I have now fitted and on/off switch and a flying IEC lead socket from the original cable gland as I didn't have a small enough IEC socket to fit into the plastic box side (too long at the back being the filtered type from PC PSU's) I also have got the 67>58mm stepper ring and AR filter now so will be fitting that tonight - Pic's to follow - and of it working

Little but good organisation.

Final photo's with the AR glass fitted and a few of it actually producing beams


(I wish you could select 'single colour projector' with a tick in a box in Mamba like you can in Moncha & NLS )

Hmmmm - Interesting 'bent' beam in the forth phoggy

I didn't see that until I put it on here

[Insanity]

Very nice Jim,

It's not every day you see an electrical junction box that can do that...

Having said that, it's not every day you see a laser that produces bent beams, especially when the don't eminate from the scanners..

Nice job...

Thanks Mark.

Yeah, I am having a bit of a job working out how that came to be Mark - certainly strange isn't it!
