Hi guys, this is the first laser I've built. The unit dates around six months back, yet i never took pics cause no camera :cryyy:.
Finally I snapped and bought myself a camera on a shopping spree with my financial aid money... heh so i thought I'd share with you guys this little pointer since i believe its cute.
The unit is an Aixiz mini 405 whith lolidk output at 6V
As the title states, inside a Maglite Solitaire.
I was going to leave the plastic window of the flashlight to protect it against dust, but i found the material reflects violet light quite well and owns the brightness of an already dim diode... so i removed it
I removed the switch assembly and used a burr to expand the diameter in order to fit the module. Also, to remove the non-conductive anodization to make it case negative.
Luckily, this dremel burr has the exact same diameter as the module so i got a tight fit and the module has a good connection.
As battery souce i am using half of a 12v battery xD
The ones that have a bunch of 1.5v button cells inside them.
All that yields us this. I soldered a 5cent momentary microswitch for the luls. The button is made from a broken 1/8 tap.
Woot it lases.
I know many of you guys like to see the utmost detail in things, so i took two can shots.

Congratulations if you've red this far lolololo.
I guess i still have the new camera rush to take pics of everything. The laser has a very short battery life obviously, since they're primary button cells.
I could not find a small lithium or similar that outputs anywhere near six volts. Does anyone know of any? like a 10440 in half or so.
Next up, i will upload my PHR photos. Thanks for reading ;o
