Well, i live in Brazil, don't want to spend a lot on lasers (i study, still dont work) and equipment takes a lot to arrive here.
So i started researching to build my own laser without buying kits and expensive equipment.
I'll update this post as i advance in construction.
Initial equipment:
- $18 100mw 660nm laser module with driver from ebay
- An old flashlight i had here
- Old cellphone lithium battery
Until now i just removed a piece from the flashlight (cutting it off) and installed the module, tomorrow i'll go out and buy some wires to solder the battery to the butten, then i'll post more photos of the electrical circuit.

What do you think about it? Is it going to work? Is using an old lithium battery from cellphone ok?
