Even though the big one has died.

I still got the small one to go. However, I need a replacement for this part on the small one:

Collimator/focusing lens?

Base size 9mm

Can anyone suggest me the part for it?

Actually it is fine but quite loose. I just wondering if there is better one out there that can make focusing to tighten the beam.

Well you could try putting some teflon tape on the threads...:beer:
Or maybe a spring could work depending on the module.... :thinking:

Hmmm, can you take a picture of the "focused" dot.... :thinking:
Maybe the lens has cracked or it's dirty....

It just can't focus to smallest dot, the diversion is getting bigger n bigger.
At 6ft it's already 1inche wide dot.

You can just buy another green cheapie from eBay, they pretty much all have these! Or else, you can always buy a lens with a focus adapter, but this would obviously cost you way more. Like he said, try adding flexible tape to it!

Well sinner gave me this idea so I can't take credit but you can cut the bottom tread portion off and then where the top glass piece is you can put an acrylic aixiz lens in and that should fix your problem. In my sig under the guidesman/532nm laser you can see us talking about it.
