I am working on a Liquid sky fog affect using a 10mw green laser and a Laser printer laser unit (using the mirror)
Using a fog machine I should be able to create a cool effect like this
So here is where I am at
I have an old HP Laserjet printer and I pulled the Laser unit, I knew the motor was bad (thats why the printer was broken)
I took an old PC Heatsink and drilled a hole in it to receive the Laser unit base to cool it down ( I plan on over driving it a bit.)
I am using a cooling fan in place of the motor to drive the hexagon Mirror. it's the right height to the laser and it's bright.
I will keep you posted on my progress.
