Upgrade laser

#1

What is the largest wattage laser that has been able to be upgraded on this machine. I have been running the 500mw and would like to goto 1 or 1.5-1.6 watt.

I am in the USA and where could I get them inexpensively?

Check out “El cheapo” lase. 2 watts. Robots-everywhere.com
Also clips on you tube under el cheapo laser

I have contacted them and will be upgrading to a 3.5 watt and will let you know how it goes, they have to modify the board for the increased power and such…

jtechphotonics.com or dtr laser on eBay. (3.8W and 6W)

my 3.5 watt laser upgrade setup will be here tomorrow
