I think mine would have to be the 5W 465nm Photino, both because of the host and the crazy power to size ratio, but also the rarity of the diode (I don't think it has been used in other builds yet).
Good looking laser Ldb, Gadget did a great job on that host! :beer:
As long as you have something unique, you can post here anytime. This thread needed a bump anyway!
:gj:
I thought I'd post a few pics of a project that I've been working on for Len (Hakzaw); it was originally a black painted, solid brass unit that used a really small battery (14250ish?).
Len sent me a couple of these hosts to try and make a laser that could accomodate a larger, more usable cell.
I ended up combining parts from two hosts, and modifying most of the other parts to build this one laser.
Note: I will be making a more detailed build thread on this later this week, but for now, here are a few photos of it.
As originally received.
Almost done! I'm using an Opnext/Oclaro 120mW single mode 638nm diode/module from DTR for this build.
I'm trying to think of anything I could add to it myself because I forgot about it too and I made the thread.
