Hi there! I just recently purchased myself a Rifle 1.2W 445nm laser from Lazerer and while it is quite brilliant and effective for most purposes, it simply cannot run for very long. Because of course its 1min - 1min duty cycle and mediocre battery life. I was wondering if anyone on the forum would be able to build me a laser around 1W (less is alright as well assuming when focused it can still pop balloons, light matches/paper, and tear through the night sky). I of course will take care of eye protection but yes. I was wondering how difficult that would be to build/have built. I have a lot of experience with electronics but I have to admit, laser building is a bit more tricky (because of casing really never been good at that). Another nice feature would be a saftey mechanism of sorts. Anyway, how much would that cost to build or have built here? Thanks! :D

P.S. Decent battery performance would also be a good pro. :)

Very glad to see you're safety concious! A refresher to say the least! :)
I'd recommend seeing if rhd has anything for sale or lazeerer. Both have a reputation for amazing build quality!
