It could be done easily, (except for the lens) but for <$5, why go to all that trouble? The lens itself would probably cost that much.

If they made their own, it wouldn't be from Aixiz, now would it?

You of course need a lathe and some tooling to do this work. It can easily be done, but why duplicate the aixiz housing? Machine a laser head that has threads for a lens nut (you can make the lens nut, too) and a pocket to press the diode into. Then, machine a battery compartment to fit and you have an entire custom host. The lenses you have hanging around, are they from other lasers? To be useful as a collimating lens, it will need to be of very short focal length.

If you let us know where you live we may be able to suggest a supplier?
