Looking for project to start

I am looking to start some very basic small projects as I am new to the technical side of lasers.

I do have access to a fair bit of kit however when it comes to materials and electronics (far more kit than knowledge). I want to try to make an air cooled handheld laser using a micro computer fan which will induce flow through filters across the heat sink. I have some very small temp sensors with LCD readout which I am planning to fit around the heat sink of some cheaper lasers which generate low levels of heat and incorporate the display into the housing. From there I will be able to monitor performance.

I want to use this to experiment with different designs to see how to remove heat effectively. The lasers I will be experimenting with do not really require cooling but still generate heat. This will be academic, then I may think of trying things with a higher powered build.

If anyone knows of any similar builds on this board or have tried similar, please let me know!

Thanks

Rich
