I was cleaning out my drawer and saw this. I offered it up for sale before I went on vacation. It didn't sell then. We'll give it one more try here before I go to auction with it.

This is a 6X based laser. It has the GGW-H20L diode. It has a flexdrive. It comes with an aiXiz acrylic lens. It will take a Jayrob and/or a LarryDFW low loss lens. It is built into a Galileo host. The Galileo host has a tail clicky switch. It uses a single CR123 size battery. You can use a 3V primary battery or a 3.6V rechargeable battery. It comes with a storage/carrying case.

It is putting out 190mW with the aiXiz acrylic lens. If you get a Jayrob or LarryDFW lens for it, it will put out 250mW (tested). This laser is built for good burning AND long life.

It can be yours for only $160 (shipped in the US)

Would it be fair to itemize the components then add a build fee to it, or is a flat fee the way to go? Im looking to get an 8x but if the price is right, this may be powerful enough.

I'm not quite sure what you are asking here. Are you trying to figure out how much "profit" I am making? LOL!

I have nothing to hide. I've been doing this for some time.


Host = 40
Diode = 60
Driver = 25
module = 4
Battery = 1
case = 7
shipping = 9
materials = 2

Total parts, materials, and costs = $148

Did you want to add a competitive (I think Dark charges $20) building fee on top of that or is the $160 OK? ;)

Peace,
dave
 
It's a great price for a build like that! An 8X diode alone is over $200 bucks.

But you can always put an 8X in there later...

Also, with an 8X, you will need a 405-G-1 glass lens. Also recommended for this 6X at that power.

Not at all. I am trying to see if it is worth it for me to buy your laser or hold off and add more for an 8x.

No Problem. I'm just being a smart a$$. I do this for fun, to keep learning, and to help pay for other laser parts. I charge very little over cost as a service to this community. I usually ask a bit more for my labor/expertise, but this one has set around awhile in the drawer so I thought I would give the folk here in the community a chance at a low cost 6X before I offered it up to the public at a higher price.

Everything in it is new (except for the host). The host was originally a 5mW green pointer. Originally the Galileo laser is about $80, but I bought the host after the original owner had burned out the green laser in it for less.

190mW of violet light will burn most anything you could want. If you get a Jayrob low loss lens for it, 250mW is more than most people need. The 8X's are "cool" and "new", but most people never use the potential of one.

I built an 8X that puts out >500mW. Do you know how often it gets taken out of its case now? . . . . only about once every two weeks. Usually that is to show somebody else the laser. >500mW of light is too much to just use in the house ;)

Sorry if my first response sounded short. It was not intended to be. For some reason it just struck me as funny.

Peace,

No offense taken.
im just trying to get a good money to performace ratio on one.

The only thing i had not taken into account was the lens and from your calculations it seems to be quite a hot item.

Plus it was owned by Dave, so it's worth more just saying that. I have a 6x on the way, but I'm saving for an 8x as well. The 8x drives are just too expensive right now IMO. Buy this 6x!

Hi Bryce , I'm sorry , but im trying to be serious when purchasing these things.
 
With Dave comes quality, and top notch service. You really cant loose. Soon 12X will be out. So if it was me, I'd buy this to play with and save your pennies for the 12X when it hits the market. And Jays lenses can be swapped on any build with an AixiZ module. 200mW+ is more than enough for a first laser. Plus the whole build is cheaper than the 8X diode alone. The cost is only around $60 to replace the 6X diode compared to $200 with the 8X.

That's what I meant. Sorry if it didn't sound serious. Also, you know you are getting accurate power measurements. Some others will rate lasers solely by their peak power.
 
I am interested but have a few questions? Is there an email address I can send them to?
Or does this forum allow private messages?
