SOLD
The host contains a copper and brass module, an M-140 diode, a high-efficiency Blitz-buck driver, either the 405-G-1 lens or a 3-element lens (your choice), and a fiber optic activation indicator.
Output power is about 1.3W with 3-element glass lens, and exceeds 1.5W with 405-G-1 lens.
Divergence with the G-1 is greater but the beam has much less splash.
For those who have doubts about duty cycle, the host is quite substantial and 2 minutes continuous is no problem, though a momentary laser like this will likely never need to be on for much longer than a few seconds at a time.
Here is the thread that contains detailed info, additional images, and a video on the construction of this laser:

What you get:
There is one quirk that I should mention. For some reason, during construction of the laser I noticed that after the switch was installed, the laser has a half-second delay from pressing the button and activation. This effect remained with all 3 switches that I tested so there must be some interaction between the driver and switch that is causing this. A video is attached below. I do think it is a very minor inconvenience and after some use, it's easy to forget about it.
