I got one for mine as something to play with, and hope to set it up soon

Just wondering if anyone in the group had one. If so, do you have any hints/advice on using it or setting it up?

thx

I hate to be "that" guy, but.. Be very careful with lasers! Even a 2W laser can cause serious damage to your eyes VERY quickly. Not trying to discourage anyone, but pleeeeease be scared, be terrified, be respectful and be safe :)
