So, I've ordered a UltraFire KF-T60, and it will take some time to get here and fully design the build. So...what to do? Immediately order a MXDL host from Mrcrouse!

Update 01/03/2013: It's done! It's done!
I finally got all of my parts in and my daughter and I build this bad bamma jamma over dinner!!
I just have a video for now. I will post pics of the build when I get a chance. In the mean time, enjoy this clip!
Edit: I can see that I am going to want to perform DTR's 18650 mod for this host. I just cannot get enough battery run time @ 2500mAh!
Host; Mrcrouse: MXDL host w/ heat sink.
Driver: 1.25A Benboost; Daguin
Diode/Module: 445nm M-140; DTR
Total spent so far: Host/Sink/Focus Ring: $42
Diode/Module/Lens : $60 M-140 DTR!
Driver : $ 7.50 Mrcrouse!
Charger : $9 Thanks Larry!
Battery : $16 3400mAh Panasonic 18650
The Host will be plenty big for the wattage I want.
Many big thanks to DTR for his diodes, deals, and tutelage, and to Mrcrouse for the beautiful and awesome host, to Flaminpyro for tutoring and wire, and to Daguin for the awesome driver. I am only too impressed with the burning power of this laser. I was considering going up to 2W, but now I'm not so sure I will bother.
Thanks for viewing!
