4W blue laser diode on kapton tape. High surface area, most traces ~500 ohms / cm (freehand first test, with appropriate safety goggles). I suspect doing this in a more controlled way (3D printer mount + control soon), plus adding other materials e.g. layered on top or incorporated in, would make for a very cool way to construct self-heating catalyst sheets that can heat to hundreds of degrees and be used for various catalysis stuff! Some experiments planned. Also, lots of other fun stuff in store for this laser
