Me too, I finished my new little monster

[sbk]

After some serious time spent on
- Completely re-designing my old projector on Google Sketchup (that was really challenging to put all these stuff into a so small case, 410x250x180mm!!!)
- Modifying my old case (cutting some new parts with a friend's 4400W CO2 laser, eh )
- Lift up the main base plate from bottom to middle (to finally have a better access to the optical parts)
- Completely re-doing the electrical wiring (it is finally quite clean, and now it follows a strict Central Grounding Point as advised by Pangolin, with no phantom grounds)
- Doing some laser-related shopping around the world
my new projector (revision 7.59b, at least) is finally finished (well, at least for the moment...).

The hardware is :

- 1.2W 658nm, TEC cooled quad diode, from my full own conception
- 1W 532nm from Lasever, measured at 1.3W,
- 1W 445nm from RGB Laser System Int
- Widemove Scanners
- A proper security, interlock and shutter design along with the PASS security board (to come, didn't received it yet)

I use Pangolin FB3 with LivePro to control all that.

For the cooling, there's huge heatsinks all under the plate in the electronics side, which conducts the heat from the optical side and exit through the 4 small but powerful fans...

Oh and, no need to tell you the 1W 445nm is a truly amazing color... I stayed amazed for half an hour doing some mixing with the red and blue

So here's some pictures! (more pictures of the scanned effects will come later)

That is a very nice, very neat build. Bravo!!

Wow! That's super-clean- great work!

WOW! That is SEXY! You got WiFi in that thing? Very nice work!

Verry Nice.

3W+ of power!!

Wow! That, is a very nice build! I really like that little blue laser.

Thanks guys

The Wifi antenna is just for the wireless control of the shutter.

By the way, I forgoted the nice color correction board from you DZ in the hardware list
The 445nm module is very great (I finally prefered this than a Kvant, it's more sexy and has anamorphic correction optics to have a better beam), but it's price is inversely proportionnal to its size

wow ! that is a fantastic top class build !! EXCELLENT

Hello!
The kvant 1W module has also anamorphic prisms for correct the beam, also the size isn´t bigger (65*55*40mm) - only the price of Kvant modules is lower than of RGBLasersystems - with the same beam ( which is ok - but not that perfect)

Very nice build, I look forward to some nice beam shots...
