I built this thing to accompany a module I made a while ago based on the O-like/aixiz/whatever driver. (those long blue boards).


I originally made it just for testing, but found that the spring on it will come in handy for a simple build, that will be layed out "pen style", but nessasarly in a pen host.

So I decided to put it in a host and have something that I can actually fit into my pocket, as my last 445nm build was too bulky.

This host is not quite done, it needs these things done before I can call it ready, such things are:

- A focus adapter instead of that brass stub of a lens.
- A thorough polishing to get rid of the imprints/scratches from machining.

But out of excitment, I couldn't help slapping the module in it for a little test:

Cheers! :D

Here is the old build next to the new one:

A bit closer:


And a little beam time is always good:

Thats all for now, I will work on it tomorow.

I got ahead with the build a little, and I think its almost done..

I just gotta re-do the tailcap as Im still not quite satisfied with how it looks.
(Other then that, I guess Im done...maybe needs a bit more polishing...)


Comparison to 532nm 40mW

Yep, a mill was also involved to great those flat areas on the fins. :beer:


This was the unfinished head in the background lazeerer pointed out, while it was bieng made (and still is unfinished as I didn't have time for it :tsk: )

I still need to get around to boring it out.
