so, i am a big fan of making things out of altoids tins and i decided to make this 2 in 1 green laser with red laser, it will run on 2 sets of AAA batteries, and the lasers can be run 1 at a time or simultaneously

(the bottom view is the closed view and the top is the closed, oh and the green things are the batteries)
(if anyone has any other good ideas, please say so)

So you're planning on getting two laser modules, 1 green and 1 red, right?

ya, i was gonna get them from dx, and i was thinking about putting a 100 mw dvd writer diode in the red diodes casing and the green module is only 5 mw, unless there is a stronger one that i can buy somewhere else

If you're going to be putting a dvd diode in there you're going to need a driver for it, which means you'll need more than 2 AAs to power the diode, or if you can't fit more batteries you can always put a capacitor and a resistor, it won't be as good as a driver but it'll be better than connecting the diode straight to the batteries.

i would take apart a DX laser like a DX30 and take out the module from it and that would be sweet

Why would you want to stick with a 5mW one, where's the fun in that? :-?
