While I was building over the weekend, I built a little something for me. I had a Jayrob Key Chain host here.

Also, I wanted a lower output 445nm laser. With the Jayrob Key chain host taking only a single CR2 battery, this seemed like just the ticket.
I set the driver at only 275mA. It is putting out 50mW with the stock AixiZ acrylic lens. I'm not too worried about the survival of the lens at 50mW
Without further ado, here's the pics
There is some smoke in the air here
At 50mW (after lens) there are still multiple lines in the raw output. I'm going to try making an actual lecture pointer at even lower current. We'll see if it will go down to a single line at lower current
This was a fun one.
Peace,
dave
