Hey y'all, I finished my first laser build a few months ago and I was originally happy that my build worked with no problems. This is the link to the cheap diode I purchased: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1. (this was before I knew about this forum, I should've bought from DTR(?))
The only thing is, I would like my beam to circular and hopefully smaller. Im wondering if it is just my laser diodes divergence (why it was so cheap) or maybe the lens is the problem? here is a photo of the beam when I adjust the lens all the way down: Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet
I just want a laser that is relatively bright, but I don't necessarily need it to burn (although that would be a nice addition). Sorry if I messed anything up, this is my first post ;)
