Re: Direct Entry - Laser Rig
Careful with that green laser Squelch. If it can light a match, I doubt it's eye-safe. But then again, I'm no expert.

I say this because I see you've clamped it in the middle of the handle in all the pictures of this thread. And you've attached the spring towards the end of the handle.
Even if you amplify the indication with mirrors and laser, it will work even better if the starting indication is bigger.
So put the rig at the end of the handle and the spring towards the center.

or possible a simple target painted with "projection screen paint"
(These prices are very high, I think a shopper can do better )

(the Rear surfaced ones add refraction distortion and some losses)

I don't have mine handy (just moved to a new home)
Is the line generating portion (reticle) removable from the laser?
I don't remember it being easily removeable?
klynch212 wrote:But bottom line, does it really need to be Line ?
to note displacement in a single direction why not just the standard dot?
