wow, thanks for all the hard work, @lukecyca and @JDMc
so it’s the tube and not the power supply afterall?

Sorry for the rando replies earlier, but thanks for the awesome work!!

In the event anyone wondered what happened to the newish (but broken) laser tube…
It looked like a piece of art so I’m going to mount it on a stand that we can attach to the wall in the Space somewhere…

I’ll also add some led lighting (144 LED WS2811) and an ESP-01 based controller (a PartyCat if they ever become available) so it can be lit up and possibly remote controlled…

I’m working on the base but here is a video of some initial testing:

Nothing I like better than starting another project…
