Hi, I am new to the laser hobby but so far I am enjoying it and can see myself sticking with it and learning a bit. I also have little experience with forums in general (have spent countless hours reading them but have only joined a couple), so if I missed any rules please bear with me.
I am 28 and live in the US in PA. I have 2 lasers; a cheap green 532 I guess to be about 30 mw that works very well. and a POS high power blue 445 claimed to be 2w (I guess closer to 1w?) It is very powerful when it works, but it gets hot rapidly and has a carbon fouling problem thus must be cleaned after every use.
I am expecting a high quality laser to arrive very soon, and may do a semi review on it (if I ever get it):banghead:. More about later?
I am into all sorts of things (I know a little bout alot, but a lot bout a little).
Hoping to make my first build after I see how much I like this new laser (it will help determine what type of build to go with) maybe I will get to know the people on this forum and learn a bit then be able to give back down the line.
