Hey guys. I'm new to the forum, and new to lasers in general. Been interested for a while and finally picked one up. I got one of these in 30mw. So far it's fun. But of course, I would love it to be more. Is there any way to boost the output? If not...what would be an easy, affordable first build? Thanks in advance.

You can turn the pot a little up but that will give the diode a lifetime of maybe 10 hours.
So just buy a high power diode and driver.
