Thanks for exposing the insides of the LaserCube. Last year, I modified a laser projector into a compact wall-mountable one for my living room, but couldn't get it as small as the Lasercube. Now, I can see that the LaserCube's driver boards and show card are consolidated into a single PCB. Yeah, I ditched the key switch, as well. Now, I'm developing my own MIDI controllable laser synth with a Teensy 4.1 MCU, audio shields, and Cakewalk's DAW. Great times playing cycloids to psy-trance rhythms'!😎

I can remember seeing the original Laser Cube when Robin brought one of the original units to UK LEM; we couldn't believe how compact he'd managed to make it, it's certainly a great little unit for its size and price.

Can you post details about the switch you used? Link would help too.

I reckon a basics of how lasers can be done safely video would be very interesting; pretty much all I know is "don't touch, listen to what the LSO says, and do not look into laser with remaining eye".

Hi. I really enjoy your videos. I'm actually quite interested in getting started with lasers myself. So as an idea for a new video maybe you could talk about how to get started, where to get all the safety informations/courses/certifications etc as well as software, hardware etc :) thanks !

I agree with the sugru. You can sort of DIY your own version by mixing silicone and some cornstarch, and it'll sort of come together like a dough eventually!

Great vid, thank you!!

I am considering rehousing my laser cube pro. More air around the components and a quieter fan.

Sugru is such a handy product, I’ve repaired a tonne of iphone leads with it.

Fun! Shame they discontinued those. I'm running a couple of proper 2W ILDA projectors, but a standalone battery powered one would've been good for outdoor event use.

I didn't know what this machine is _for_ until 7:30

Re: Sugru, do you keep it in the fridge/freezer? The packaging recommends that to extend its shelf life, so I've been keeping mine in a fridge for years now and I pretty much always use packs well past their use-by date (for the same "don't use much" reason you mentioned) without noticing any issues. I believe that's also suggested in the Technical Data Sheet, which I recently discovered via Pimoroni's website :) (Possibly the most marketing/consumer-sounding "technical" data sheet I've ever read, but hey!) Though it might help that I have a fridge in my bedroom/workspace, so I'm not hoarding Sugru with food :) That fridge was originally for cold drinks since my bedroom is 2 floors up from the kitchen - and also traps all the heat - but these days it's also home to a fair amount of Sugru and a few syringes of solder paste! (Is bismuth better than lead for being around food? 🤔)

Thanks for the video... I just bought a used one and it didn't come with a power supply. Can you tell me what voltage & amperage it needs to run ?

Hi Seb, are there any class 2 lasers on the market with similar functionality? Also, what spec XY Galvos are LaserCube using? Thanks!

Do you think you could remove the e-stop bypass plug and hardwire that inside the cube so you don't have that large dongle hanging off? Wonder if that work would work. Also wonder if I could do that on my 2.5W Pro!

Do you even need the batteries? Can you run the cube off the wall adapter

In America we have to have a long cord with a giant stop button and another key set. All you have is the little silver thing. Can you tell me the pin out on that please. I just only use mine at home as well. I don't mind the key set on the cube But the giant stop button and cable are very cumbersome.

That LaserCube looks like a CubeSat... o_O

Do you want to sell it. I'm after an early edition. You can find me on Facebook.

Give me a partnership 😂😂

Lasers Pew Pew Pew ;)
