Looks like Sanwu just released a new X5 Beam Expander. Same threads and adapters as the X3. I will be getting these added to my inventory ASAP!

X3 - X5 Beam Expander

X3 Beam Expander The X3 beam expander is explicitly made for our handheld lasers. A beam expander is a set of lenses which reduces the beam size over long distances by expanding the beam at aperture since laser beams do expand over long distances and loses its brightness as far as the beam...

Awesome, I grabbed a couple and expect I will want more, maybe Sanwu will make a big 10X next ? I would buy several 10X as well.
 
I have 20 coming to start with. I can sell them for a little cheaper than they have them listed for if anyone is interested.

Have you heard anything about a shipping date yet ? I sent Sanwu a message asking if the expanders have been shipped yet, however I have not heard anything back.

I have not yet received any tracking info and I just asked for it. I have some other orders coming from China from other vendors that haven't shipped yet either. I wonder if it was another holiday week there.
 
Sanwu got back to me last night and said there's a 15 day lead time......

Also, they said the M9 x .5 Adapters have been discontinued. They were made from poor quality metal (Chinesium?) so maybe they'll come back with a better version? If not, I'll have to have my own made.
 
That's no problem for me, I have threaded plates/disc made for my builds, really should contact Regal and order a custom tap like Rich had made.

I may just do that. I do have an M11 x .5 tap. Any chance that would work?
 
Nope ! Not unless you want the BE falling out loose and there are only a few turns of threads, so they need to grab.

I found that some of the nuts on these rocker switches seem to be a good fit, but might as well buy the custom tap, can't be more than what.... 65-85 dollars ??

I think it was BowtieGuy who sent me two taps just like that. Can't actually be certain as it was years ago. Still have them around here in one of my many boxes of laser stuff that I have accumulated over the past dozen or so years.
