my new compact rgb build

Very cool design. Indeed like the RGB style big heat sink and mount it all.
Have a very powerhungry Red myself and this seems the only way to go.

Do you have a schematic of that nifty little colorbox ?
It looks cool !

Did you machine those fins into the alu block?

Lots if chips!

Looks good.

Maplin are online.

Best way is to find the parts online, note the parts numbers then go into your local store and request them by spec. That way the assistant does the running around looking not you.

Yeah I usually do that if I'm getting regulators,ICs or resistors, things like that. never thought to do it for anything else though

Looks like a great build! Very well done!

Very nice build

Do you like the knive mirror to combine the beams?
I like the idea because when you shoot trough a PBS you always loose some power, and I hate to loose power

Hello!
Nice red build! Will be waiting for the RGB result!
I hope you like the red diodes.
Greets,

another small update , got the first photons out of it

but had to take the green out and send it away for adjustment ,think the tec cooling in it needs a little tweek, ordered mamba black as well cant wait to get it finished and play

but time is tight at the moment

had a quick play with zoofscope ,and he laserscan more pics to follow when i get the green back,pics are from a crap camera phone
