Yes, of course
you're replacing the laser, so you have to
re-focus/colimate the beam.
I have to refocus / re-collimate it anyway... I'm ripping a laser diode
out of a PlayStation3 laser sled and will probably be installing it in
an Aixiz heatsink. Should be a good bit of fun. Polymorph should be good
for making up the mounting bracket. Fortunately when I was assembly the CX
scanner, I on;y had to make sure the beak was going in the right places...
Indeed. The laser assembly on the SX and CX seems to be a 'blob' sitting
on one side of the scanner, with a fixed focus lens tied in. When I have a
chance I;ll dig out what schematics I have of the CX and SX
engines and get copies to you...
No hurry. I've got a weekend of finishing assignment work ahead of me...
