anyone willing to discount me =]
$77? I doubt it... You can probably manage ~$100. Consider this, the diode itself is $45, a good driver is about $20 ($65 total), you'll need a host kit $20 ($85), and non-acrylic lens (acrylic will ruin the diode!) and module $13 ($97), plus shipping costs ($?). Some members buy parts in mass and are able to sell it for $100 in the end, but going any lower would be a waste of money and time on the builder's part.
Actually no, the lens itself will melt with Class IV powers with lower wavelenghts. You really do need glass lens with any blue laser, plastic will melt.Nah. You just need to remove that black thing on the lens. The kryton groove I got off mariomaster was outputting 700-800 mw with an acrylic lens when I got it. I even mentioned "Arent these supposed to melt at over 400mW?"

Though the poster was also incorrect, it won't ruin any diodes. It'll just ruin the beam and cost you money for new lens, and waiting time for it to arrive.
Huh. My guessing seems to prove opposite...
At least know that acrylic is still a bad plan. I should pull out my 445 and some acrylic blocks to see if I can do any damage
