you need dichros and something to mount the lasers and dichros to so they don't move, then you just need to allign the beams through the dichros so they all overlap

red + green + blue/bluray = white (although it's not truly white)

it appears slightly pink due to my camera (looked better in person) but i did not use dichros, i just pointed the 3 lasers at one spot

you'd probably want to get like a 10mW green and turn the pot down a bit, i was using 10mW of bluray, 5mW of green, and around 70mW of red to make a nice white but i needed more green

Nobody is gonna have shipping <$20 or so unless you pay a portion in the regular price.

yes you would have a 55mW laser minus losses but you'd need more red and a bit more green to achieve a good white
