Ok, so I have been tooling around on this forum for a few months now but have yet to have any thing post worthy to share until now. Thanks to DTR (who is a f***ing genius by the way) I can't help but show off this beast!
I'm a rookie when it comes to building lasers so when I came across DTR's 510 threaded heat sinks I knew that was the ticket to satisfying that urge for a big power hand held laser. To make sure I had plenty of power I went ahead and dropped a Nichia 9mm 445 diode, the three element glass lens , (told my self the beam quality was the reason but really I was being cheap!) and the X-drive bucking laser driver. All that was left was a host kit that could match the power with a solid look and appeal. I Ended up running a mutation x 18650 battery mod and tossed a few 18350's to get the 7 watts needed to power the monster laser. I couldn't be more happy with the results Thank you again DTR For the help , great suggestions and feedback. I would more than likely be destroying 10 dollar eBay 532nm handhelds lasers trying to find a potentiometer that only existed on you tube video tut titled " how to pot mod " you laser . "
Drum roll please..... j/k (I'm excited ok , don't talk shit )
Any feed back or suggestion fell free to post!. Im trying to decide my next laser snd could you.
Any newbies out there that wants a customer laser but aren't much of a sodder master then you need take a look at DTR's 510 threaded heat sinks.f
