I don't know the diameter of the laser diode holders, so there's that, but if everything worked out size-wise, I could see a little power supply box on the top of the head stock, with the laser mounted in the taper.

I have DVD writers because they came in various computers I've bought. (And I've used them to record data, backups, or the latest TAILS distribution). <br /><br />Chances are I'd get one of that guy's ~2W blue laser diodes. <br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-88655654868363152752016-03-26T10:22:18.143-04:002016-03-26T10:22:18.143-04:00The only thing missing would be the smell of smoke...The only thing missing would be the smell of smoked salmon on the cedar!
