    Please keep us posted as you build this machine. I think there is a lack of information in this area and many of us would be interested in your progress so we can follow and build our own laser.

    Hi hkxy,

    Do you have something cheap similar to parallax where mirror and laser gas can be replaced.

    I see most china laser tube are throw away versions and is also very fragile.

    WOW! hkxy have quoted the tube and power supply prices which is fair compare to one of the major supplier on the net.

    Anyway i think hkxy misunderstood my english

    Actually what i meant was, if the tube is not good anymore it is for the rubbish bin and cannot be recondition.

    and is also very fragile.
    Any glass all is,Looks like your wine CUP class,But,We are deliver you the family,Installs,Reorganizes,OK,And will have the good service in the future,

    I hope what you want to say is -> ..... once is it delivered to you and after installation it works, it will last for a long time.

    Maybe i will charge hkxy translation fees......Ha ..Ha

    coleong :
    ok!

    My too bad English,Affects my language expression indication.
    He is the disposable use,Because price low and glass stave easy,Therefore I,If the luck is good,The weather is good, 1 year - 1.5 years replace one time,
    If the luck too bad,Thunderstorm weather,Electric current too bad…In June - 1 year replaces one time.

    I sell product,DHL FEDXIN YOU HOME,Reorganizes (assembly and adjustment) in yours family,Then I repair his 3- in May,Insurance.
    I provide the good service for mine member,But regarding outsider,At that time 200% price,For to member's fair.
    Purchases my machine visitor,Becomes the member automatically,I provide a password,So long as uses this password,May obtain 50% price to be cheap,As well as complete service.

    Increase power

    You can increase power:

    The power is proportional to the tube's length (not diameter)

    The faster the gas flows, you can get more power

    You can find all the information about CO2 laser here
    http://repairfaq.cis.upenn.edu/sam/laserco2.htm#co2typ2

    ------------------------------------------------------------
    About the High Cost of Sealed CO2 Laser Refills

    They have a right to their trade secrets. A figure like $800 to reprocess a CO2 laser tube is cheap, especially when you consider a sealed CO2 has a very tricky gas mix, often containing Xe, CO, NO2, H20 and half the rest of the chemical alphabet. A sealed CO2 laser needs a complex mix in order to recatalyze the CO2, which breaks down into CO and C during the discharge. If it's a few tenths of a percent off, the laser quickly dies. Often when refilling a tube, they also pop on a new front optic, something not easy to do when you need new indium seals.

    You didn't pay literally millions of dollars to develop those lasers, therefore you are only entitled to learn from published documents, patents, talking to others and whatever reverse engineering you can do, and even then possibly only for your own use. The high cost is because a company needs to make a profit to exist and improve, and people need to eat and pay bills.
