I contacted him and mentioned your name :yh:. Thanks for the help! if all else fails, I think I may just get the S4 host and deal with the shorter duty cycle. Also, do you recommend quoting the person you are replying to when you post? I should start that habit if so

I feel like an idiot, so please don't laugh at me... I looked at the hosts he posted and I can pick out a host and PM him?? Im just worried that I will not be able to assemble my laser as easy as my first build because every one of these special hosts is different. My C6 host was super easy to...

What do you think about the NUBM07E diode a year later? I was planning on getting one of those for my second build.

Can someone recommend me a good host for my second laser? Its going to be running about 3.5 a if that helps at all. I was thinking the S4X host from survival laser (S4? Host Assembly), but Im wondering if there are other options, maybe cooler looking/still relatively cheap/ still easy to build...

Thanks Paul! Sounds like I need to get some G-2's for all my laser builds now! I don't think the NUBM07E has a poor divergence so I should be good. Another question, can I purchase any old host assembly because most(?) LD modules have the same shape. I have a cheap survival laser host, C6 i...

omg you are a GOD!!!!!!!! I can't believe it, but I did need to remove the focus ring! now in focus at the same distance, the spread is suuuuuper small. I'm so happy, how can I thank you lmao. One last thing, for normal laser purposes (i mean lasers in visible light spectrum, especially blue...

Ok so I used my safety goggles and got some measurements (I could not take a photo of it because my phone's camera is low-key broken), but here is everything I gathered ~1.8 inches for length ~.7-.8 inches for the width making like an ice hockey rink shape lol laser was 28 inches off the floor...

Hey y'all, I finished my first laser build a few months ago and I was originally happy that my build worked with no problems. This is the link to the cheap diode I purchased: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HFHMIFG/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1. (this was before I knew about...
