If you use high-powered lasers it is not necessarily enough to use safety goggles. Especially Class IV lasers need some extra attention: a beam dump to stop the beam and the reflections from the laser dot.
In this video I show you how to make one and I test it using lasers up to 1500 mW. An easy and inexpensive build that will be a major safety upgrade for your laser collection.

Hi all! Happy New Year - will read comments later. The beam dump turned out well, but let's make it even better. Does anyone have a good, easy solution for a metal end cap in stead of plastic? I can't weld aluminium - or any metal for that matter... And how do I fix the iris diaphragm to the front of the beam dump in a lighttight way without obstructing its function? Any input is appreciated!

for your purposes (since its not going to have heavy use, need to be load bearing, etc), I hink super glue or something similar will work. There are metal glues that ive seen that should also handle high heat. you could also try proper sealant, resin, etc. You can make a metal cap and just glue it down using one of those things! I think that should work for your purposes!

Not necessarily, if the laser doesn't hit the tip it will spread out somewhat but it will still focus on a smallish area, however that area is only at the back and you would be able to use black 3.0 forward of the furthest forward a reflection from the cone will reach the wall to catch tertiary reflections

I have done A LOT of spray painting in my life, and one thing that makes the biggest difference in the end result is the cap. You can buy different caps with different spray patterns from graffiti and art supply stores. Some spray larger spots, some spray tiny spots, some spray straight lines (calligraphy cap). You can buy adapters to use them on male spray cans (the cap goes on a stem) to adapt it to the standard caps (the stem is part of the cap). Bombing Science is a good site if you're in Canada, or Art Primo in the US. Small, detailed jobs like spraying the inside of that pipe, would be a LOT easier if you used a fine cap.

Hello from the UK from a fellow science fan & laser builder. Great project Brainiac75, i built you project to your method & specification & made 2 small modifications, i extracted the variable aperture assembly from an old film camera & mounted it to the front of the beam trap using a piece of 5mm black ABS plastic with a circle cut out of it to fit the aperture mechanism into snugly,i then used some fast cure resin to fix permanently in place, i found some small adjustable height rubber bottom feet on screws with plates on the top that had self adhesive pads on ebay that gave me a professional quality beam trap i could use at any distance & beam divergence combination that was an adjustable height. Keep up the great videos.

Since the innards are basically enclosed and won't ever be touched. Once you figure out an all metal design Instead of painting the innards with black paint, try exposing them to a poorly burning kerosene flame. The flame will deposit a VERY black layer of soot that will be perfectly matt. It probably isn't as black as vanta black (though since it is basically the same material it is probably close) but it is blacker than any paint can be, it's super cheap and should be fairly heat resistant. Also, thought this would be hard to do with stock parts, having the aperture be a steep cone leading into the hole in the center will reduce the risk of the beam reflecting back at you (as opposed to the aperture being a flat wall with a hole in the center) as you are lining up your beam with the hole.

Try to paint the inside and out side with muso black. With muso black absorbs aprox 90-99% of light, the beam dump will be super effective and with the addon of a cone in place of the eyeris no light will bounce. You can also and some texture on the inside to trap some more light
