SOLD: Custom 1.1W 445nm "Indian Larry" -- Gold Plated Copper HS -- Flame Design

SOLD

I have the "Indian Larry" (it reminds me of some old school Indian Larry bike)

445nm running at 1.1w (from survival)
MicroBoost driver set at 1.1 amps, heat sinked.
3 element glass, coated for "blue" (from survival)
Custom polished aluminum host , with etched flame design that wraps around the body.
REAL 24K Gold Plated Copper Heat Sink Head ( lots of gold on here, plated for a full 5 minutes)
Key Switch on end (2 keys included)
Side Clicky Switch modified for high current use.
Custom Aluminum "PILL" for max thermal transfer for driver.

It measures 22mm x 131mm

It weighs in at 149 grams.

Uses an 18650 battery. I will include a "cheaper" common "blue" 1600mah 18650. I would suggest a better battery though. Battery is inserted negative side first.

Diode and driver have max of 10 minutes total time on them.

It is an efficient diode, producing 1.1+ watts at 1.1A with a 3 element glass.

Duty cycle is around one minute on, one minute off. It will run longer, but one minute should be plenty to get done what you would with a handheld.

It is focusable if you remove the gold head. An Aixiz focusing ring is attached to the lens for focusing. However, a shorter duty cycle is required when not using the head. I recommend screwing the head back on after you have focused it to your needs.

This was custom built by myself, additional machining, polishing, etching, plating etc. A lot of time and care went in to this build.

The flames actually have a "satin-y" sparkly look in real life, the cam does not pick it up well.

I am asking $200 shipped Priority Mail to USA. Canadian buyer will be an additional $10 USD shipping. I will not ship to any other country, no exceptions.

I will guarantee the gold plating on the head for the life of the laser. If it starts to wear, send it to me and I will re-plate it for you!!! It shouldnt, there is a lot on there!!!!

Also, NO Paypal. SORRY!! I can only accept Google Checkout -- or a trade!! Google Checkout requires a credit/debit card, which help with preventing minors from obtaining such lasers.

Trades are welcome!! I.E , I am looking for a set of 30Kpps+ galvo scanners and amps.

Thanks for looking!!

Thumbs up for gold plating!
It would be cool to have gold flames too but I don't think that is possible lol. Unless maybe the rest of the host is covered with something can gold can't be bonded to?

Yes, gold flames would be difficult. Its possible, if the aluminum is zincated, then copper plated first. However, then the whole body would need to be nickel plated as well. It would be a challenge, with potential for ruining the host.

From what I can see in these pictures I would say this laser is worth more than
what he is asking for it even if shipping and PP has to be payed.

If it was mine I would be asking 250 for this laser easily !

What a Beautiful laser you have created something to be proud of for sure :gj: +2

You have touched on it all with machining, polishing, etching and plating not to
mention electronics, a tip O the hat to you sir on a fine job and a beautiful laser.

A one of a kind laser that any one would be proud to have in there collection C:cool::cool:L

Yes, thats $200 shipped anywhere in the USA via Priority Mail, tracked and insured.


Thanks Pyro!!! I need to move it kind of quickly as I need parts for another project, or else it would be more $$.

Bump for a beautiful build! I'm getting ready to build a few of these myself or I would take it off your hands myself.

:bumpit:

This host is a work of art. That it is not sold yet is a crime. If I had the money, or needed another 445... this laser would be spoken for.

Maybe after payday it will be.

UPDATE/BUMP

Wanted to let everyone know that if you would prefer the head be nickel plated as opposed to gold, if you would rather not have the two tone look, I will re-plate the head in nickel at no extra cost.

i really think you could sell this for much more if you didn't cut so many potential buyers out

Yeah... I almost bought it but I didn't notice the "NO PayPal"
So I didn't take it... I don't do Google Checkout...:cryyy:

It would have been long gone... So I bought another RC
plane instead...:D

I'm sure someone will pick this great looking Laser up....
