Mr-Protocol Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 BlueRay burner lasers burn better ;) Also there is a site that was selling a high powered laser diode in a lightsabre case for a good price. I think about $200-400 or so. Also the diodes are REALLY hard to get out of the curcuit. You will also need to build a driver circuit to give it good power and you will need a laser enclosure for the lens so the diode is more directional and not diffused.

okiwan Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 $200-400 ya thats why im building my own. i just picked up this real nice LED flash light that kinda resembles a lightsaber. im going to use a Aixis laser module for the enclosure of the diode. the driver i will get from a website or ebay. i also asked for a dvd burner cause i didnt think any one would have a broken blue-ray burner yet.

Mr-Protocol Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I was looking into buying just diodes. But they are EXPENSIVE to get a high power one. Plus you may want to invest in laser eye protection and some laser safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okiwan Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 yes they are very expensive. especially for a little project like i want to do, that i dont care to much about. its just for fun so i want to spend as little as possible. so far im at $5.99 with the LED flash light.
