Hey all.
I've set out to create a 2W 445nm laser using only a single 18650!
I know it's possible and I'm almost certain someone has done it before, but I like building things so there.
Host: TR-801 (eBay)
Diode: H1600 from DTR
Driver: 2x BenBoost (830mA+955mA) from cilegray
Still need: Custom heatsink
Where can I get a copper heat sink made? I know some members on here do it! PM me if you can!
This is not my first laser. I built a 1W 445 last year, but never finished it. My diode decided to take a crap.
And yes, I have eye protection!
