This is my absolute first attempt at building my own laser. I plan on doing a lot more :3
:lasergun:​
 





Does it work? If so congrats! Thats an accomplishment in itself. I am sure you will move to flashlight housings in no time.
 
It does work! It works verrry well. Its all mounted in a snus can haha. Thank you ^^ I'm proud of myself xD
 
Excellent first build! Only 13$ too! Gratz! :)

Jeff helped, I'm sure :)

Welcome to the forum.

You did all the wiring yourself? If not, ask Jeff to show you some soldering tricks, it's a very useful skill to have no matter if you like lasers or not. Sooner or later you will need it.

I did everything except soldering the contact points on the driver. Jeff was afraid i was going to break it :/.

Nice. What driver & current are you using?
You might want to grab some heat shrink from dx or ebay as its more secure.

I'm using a rayfoss driver, and the currents running about 110mA.
 
Nice first build!

I like how the battery holder seems to have been cut from some random object ;)
