445nm - 10440 - Direct Drive Laser

Nice one Dave...

The smaller the build, the sweeter it is!

Not a bad idea to make a super tiny build with a half way decent supply.

For a 10440 build, I will have to mention that I have re-designed my SS 10440 kit to house a custom press fit module. (aluminum or copper)

Of course it is set up for a driver instead of direct drive...

Out of curiosity could you do a direct drive with the CR2 build you have in your picture Dave? I have the same kit from Jayrob and its just sitting on my bench just wondering it would be a cool build also

I tried direct drive too, but I didn't like how fast the diode drops in power. (with smaller batteries anyway)

If you have room, a driver is the way to go...

Love my 445nm Laser, excellent wavelength.

Hey Daguin,

Do you by any chance sell 445nm lasers (custom built). I'd like to see some other designs.

Thanks
