I was making a list of the parts I would need to make a laser. DTR's Laser Shop has a 4W 465nm Diode in 12mm Module for $65. The No-Diode Host bundle at Survival Laser, capable of driving this diode, costs $240. Jayrob's NUBM07E 465 DMag Shorty costs $307. Total cost is $305 - $372. The Sanwu Chalenger II 470nm 4.5W from Laser Pointer Store Costs $360. I had incorrectly assumed that DIY would be less expensive.
Other than the fun of the project, what is the advantage of a DIY laser?
