For Sale: 475 mW 635nm Build - "The Slim Silver"
Amazingly for such a tiny host, this guy runs at a full 1A of current, using a single AAA-sized 10440 lithium ion cell, and outputs an LPM-tested 475mW through the included red-coated 3-element glass lens. I wanted this to be compact, so I actually left the Aixiz focus knob off of the lens - but you can certainly have it included if you want it. I'm so OCD about everything matching, that I actually sanded the external metal surfaces on the 3-element lens casing so that it would look metalic, instead of black. That's why the lens looks like it matches the body of the laser. It really DOES look cooler no-focus-knob (but again, I'll send you the knob if you want it).
This build uses the same host as my "Ribbed Silver" 445s, but with some substantially revisions in terms of the internal workings. My biggest complaint with the "Ribbed Silver" 445 builds, was needing to use someone else's driver in them. So for these 635s, I designed a custom driver PCB specifically for this host. There's a thread about the driver here: http://laserpointerforums.com/f67/iron-4d-driver-ultra-low-profile-1a-red-driver-71034.html
It's a circular triple-AMC driver, that slips directly on top of the diode leads and gets soldered directly to it. At only a few mm thick, the driver is so compact that you can still fit a protected 10440 cell in, without ever feeling like you're compressing the host back together! This driver took a few revisions to get perfect, but now that it is, it has really unlocked some high-powered but tiny 635 building. Here's a shot of what these diode+driver setups look like:

$225 with FREE fully-insured, and trackable shipping.
You MUST own laser protection goggles appropriate for this wavelength, and
You MUST be over 20 years of age, and
You MUST be familiar and experienced with the appropriate safety precautions to take with lasers of this power.
You MUST NOT be a resident of Canada
Interested buyers shoot me a PM or post in the thread.
This is not a laser pointing. At all times, protective laser safety glasses appropriate for this wavelength must be worn by the operator. This laser should not be used around 3rd parties (non-operators) pets, or for any recreational purpose.
This laser's purpose is use as a laser light source for LPM (laser power meter) sensors and meter system calibration. In order to ensure the most reliable calibration for your system, it is prudent to use multiple calibration lasers, representing multiple wavelengths, as well as multiple output powers, spanning the range of an LPM sensor's working detection range.
