So I bought a cheap chinese laser and cooked the power supply.
To be exact I fried the "flyback transformer for 40W laser power Magnetic core with slanting" Pulled it and get a resistance reading from power in but not power out. That's cooked right? :violin:

Amazingly enough I found one for sale on the web here:

aliexpress com/fm-store/209152/211231799-555144438/flyback-transforme-for-40W-laser-power-Magnetic-core-with-slanting html
removed the dots to try and get it to post. . . cause it's not spam if you need one

But sadly do to legal issues aliexpress does not offer escrow services in Washington State, where I live. :violin:

Does anyone know of another source for this or a better transformer. . . one I might not cook so quickly. I do plan to increase ventilation in the case.

Thanks for any leads.
