Looking for a host for my first build!

Hi!

This will be my first tryout in building a handheld laser.

This is what i had in mind:

Nichia NDB7875 445nm 9mm Copper 445nm Blue Laser Module w x Drive 405 G 2 | eBay


So now I`m looking for a suitable host/kit for this module!

Maybe some of you can give me a hint what hosts/kits will fit and where I can buy one.

Thanks for your help!

Here's a list that was from the "Host Kits/Heatsinks" link on the Ebay page you posted

I got a C11 host from Mrcrous, large heat sink and side clicky.

If you're looking for a quick and easy to put together build, try going for the C6 Aurora build (search around a little). It's quite popular here, and you can get the heatsinks from Mohrenberg. He was pre-selling an entire C6 kit but people have already bought it up. Who knows though... it sounds like he'll be allowing the entire kit to be available on his site soon.

Otherwise, just see what you might fancy, and try to make a heatsink for it. There are some people around who do custom heatsinks for you if you require.

Thanks for your quick answers!

I ordered a simple looking and compact host from survival-lasers!
