Proven to work diodes

It would be interesting to see actual results from people who bought laser diodes and drivers and actual photos with materials that they managed to cut with those diodes. Something like: diode/driver/lens buying source and photos with various cuts with those specific diodes.

"Something like: diode/driver source"

Could you add that info Cozmic? I'm very curious

... I'm cutting all sorts of cardboard and thin plastic sheets with a common 2W@445nm-diode ... but my driver is not OS

Specs I can show:

Focus distance 20 to 60mm - ye shorter the FL, the smaller the focus -- from 0.04mm at 20mm FL to 0.1mm at 60mm FL
PS is 12V @2A
Engraving speed 30 to 80mm/s
cutting speed 5 to 50mm/s
