So I've built and sold a 445 Dilda, Coleman Max, Kryton Groove, and a custom Ehgemus so far. Lasers are a great hobby, but also very expensive. I dont have enough time or money to keep doing it. So i figured I would end it with a challenging build. This WL E2 was the hardest build yet.

It has a AR coated 445 lens with a 1.25A driver from jib that runs off of 2 14500's.

overall i think this came out great.

UPDATE...its focusable now :)

So here are the pics ;)

Thats so cool hahaha. How much did it cost to build it ?

It's priceless with the amount of struggle and time that went into making it.

You have to unscrew the lens, then find a way to force out the module inside without ruining the plastic switch thing...i accomplished it with a socket...i forget which size. then i had to find a better switch that could handle the current and modify it to fit...its too much to explain....

Thanks everyone :)

That's probably a 1.2W, which is 400mW more powerful than the Arctic. This is hilarious and awesome all at that same time.
