[highlight]THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST. THIS LASER IS NOW SOLD[/highlight]

Hello all,

Here's a quick and cheap one. A few weeks ago I offered to take a SenTorch off of someone's hands for the old price of a dilda. He didn't want it, but someone else did. I got the laser, but what do I need with a 160mW red laser? So I decided to see if I could make a blu-ray out of it. It worked wonderfully. The host is used so it has a couple of small cosmetic issues. Of course that means that you can get a great deal out of it. This would make a great working laser or a blu-ray match for someone with a Sentorch.

Allow me to introduce the Blu-Sen laser

The unit has the diode harvested from a PHR-803t sled. It is driven by a flexdrive set at 180mW. It is powered by a single, protected 17670 battery. The battery is included. The charger is not. I use the same charger that I use for my 10440's. It has an Aixiz acrylic lens with the back opened up. It is a fairly efficient diode. It is putting out 170mW. It has been through the same "hell week" that all my lasers go through. The heat sinking on this host is very good. It has the AixiZ module pressed inside of 10 grams of brass, which is pressed inside 30 grams of aluminum! That's more than the massive Jayrob heat sinks that I use in many of my lasers.

I built it to look as much like the original Sentorch as I could. For example, the module is set in such a way that the front of the laser is all black, just like the Sentorch. The lens is free to adjust or to change if needed or if the new owner gets one of IgorT's new lenses.

Because this was simply an experiment for me AND there are a couple of small cosmetic issues, I am offering this laser for only $160, shipped in the US. My normal price for a 170mW 405nm laser is $250.

Here it is;

You can see that there is a very small defect on the end cap here

The business end

You can see a couple of superficial scratches here where the previous owner slipped while adjusting the lens of the SenTorch with a screwdriver. You won't need a screwdriver to adjust this lens.

Here is its output

Yeah, I did this one, "just to see if I could" so I'm not looking to make money off of it. As a "concept" laser, learning (not "bottom line") was my top priority. There's over $120 just in materials/parts/costs on this one! It WAS fun, but when you start with a host that runs $55 all by itself, it effects the profit margin significantly.

Anyway, somebody will get a great deal. I would class this as a "working" laser. It is not pristine, but the cosmetic challenges are very superficial. If I was going to use this host as a "normal" sale item, I would be much more picky about the host I bought . . . . and the price would go up considerably.

Peace,
dave

Hey, Dave --

Screw the cosmetic issues. If it's still available, I want it.
