OK guys so I have been holding on to one of the NDB7242E diodes for a wile now and decides I would build a labby out of it.

My problem was I did not have a lab host for it so I improvised :D

I put the diode in an aixiz module and that inside a C6 host.
Then at the local maker-space I 3-D printed 2 brackets and hooked everything together.

So now I present my new labby

at 80mW the heat sink is nothing more than just a base :tinfoil:

This was with the S1 lens still installed

and this was with a 3 element

I have always wanted a low powered 445! I love the color but they are kinda scary powered on average.
Great job!!

LOoking good I want one

Yea I'm not big on power either I prefer wavelength beam profile over power.
personally color and beam spec wise I prefer 473nm over 445nm. :na:

I have in this build an S1 lens but I get better divergence with a 3 element so I may switch it back.

With the 3 element I get ~20mW less output power but like I said I prefer bean spec over power.

Nice, I still need to start building the laser pointer that I want to put the diode a got from you in. I'll probably make it 5mw so I can have a 5mW laser pointer for each of the main wavelengths.

When did you buy a diode from me ?

Yea I want this diode in a pen as well. I want to build one into the White LP pen host from laser BTB.

the spot these diodes make is almost identical to that from my 515nm diode.

Thanks kilter
Just added some beam shots for you guys.

Edit: WHAHOOOO post 800
