With the Arctic out and 1W lasers readily available, I figure I'm gonna make a YouTube build tutorial using one of the kits sold here on LPF. I'm looking for a build kit that will have a significant price difference between the DIY build and the Arctic so that there is benefit in building instead of buying. So kit builders, I'm looking for the right kit.
Some other things:
I need the kit seller to readily keep their item in stock, as well as plan on selling these kits for a while. Nothing is more annoying than a YouTube tutorial that has a irreplaceable part that is no longer available. An order page would be nice but not needed.
A built in driver is nice, but if it's gonna cost a lot more I can just as easily link to a flexdrive. I'll also just link to the Aixiz 445nm glass lens, let's hope they will ship fast now.
Again, Price. I have to have it low enough that people will choose to build their laser instead of just buying an Arctic for $200. Factor in the price of goggles and diode in total price.
I would prefer a host with at least decent heatsinking so duty cycles aren't that short, the host doesn't need to be a beast though.
An easier build would be nice, I want my video to be easy to follow.
Do you know of any stores that will constantly stock A140 diodes?
If you think you have the right kit for my video, post here or PM me. I need this video to be really good.
