this LD

and ill use a Assembled fixed-output Driver at 100mA from here(once he takes orders again)

i plan to use this battery

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.6390


instead of using a flashlight as a host i plan to fabricate my own with my welder.  im gonna use some 16 gauge mild steel and a bit of pipe.

i already have an aixiz module so ill use that with it.


this will be the greatest laser ever and it will only cost ~$47

i will post pictures of this soon

Or he posted it in the wrong section, I mean, you can't make much of a red laser with 100mA. :p I think he's building a 405nm. :-/

Re: My plan for my diy laser

oh yea
sorry about posting in red section

anyways here is a mockup of the custom host that i made in AutoCAD 2009. Im still learning how to use it so i did my best. i still have to wait for my steel to arrive before i can start but i was bored so i made this.

it is about 80mm long*30mm wide*21mm tall

obviously when i actually make it i will smooth the edges and round corners and put a top on it
i just left it open cus it looks better

Looks pretty much like a labby, but a different, cool one. :)

It will be exciting to see what you will do with this, very creatively. :D

Heh, looks like you'll need some skill with that welder. :p
Not sure how much the battery will last though, it may be better if you used 2 3.7V lithiums. :p

might be a better idea to just use aluminum and get it milled.

using steel isnt the best idea.
