Well I guess that's that. I'm not concerned anymore. I just wish I could focus that rectangle into the dot I guess.

My old diode I had on this build didn't have this issue. I am.using the same lens. That's why im confused. So, maybe a different lens?

Firstly, I do know that the spot won't actually be a spot but it'll be a small line or dash, however, I'm getting a large rectangle of light that is sapping power from the actual spot. I have no idea where it comes from or how to fix it. I would like to avoid buying a new diode at all costs but...

Hey, I ordered a 445 diode from you and had forgotten to change my address in paypal and it got sent to my old house and is currently being returned to you according to USPS tracking it's on its way back to you.<edited out address info. Use Private messaging for this type of info>. Sorry about...

So I've searched the forum and google and haven't found anything really with a clear answer. Is there a lens make for 445nm that produces a dot as opposed to a short line? Is there an easy way to get a dot? Thanks peeps Waffles

Hey all, I'm looking to buy a red laser of any red wavelength for around $60. Let's say pricing like this, 200mw-$40 and 250mw-$50 and 300mw-$60. Thanks for looking, I'm working on a laser of each color. :) Waffles

A double sided laser would RAWK. The effect he gets in that video is hella cool IMHO. And who doesn't want to have a Darth Maul laser pointer? I'm sure I'm not the only one who imitates a lightsaber duel with mine...I was Luke Skywalker for Halloween with my 1.6 watt 445nm. I won 4 best costume...

Re: $19 - 2 pens - Violet and Green (405, 532) - and Safety Glasses Sold.

No wonder the 532nm are hella expensive, for good quality.

ohhhh, my heatsink is backwards! lol! works like a charm now guys!!

I just did it flush with the module. The lens is so far screwed in to the module to focus the ez focus adapter won't reach it. I do have it focused to infinity though and man, what a cannon. :)

Got it to focus but the 405 g1 is so far screwed in to the module neither the ez focus adapter nor the AixiZ nut will work

so i just got mine today and built it and it works but it wont focus. halp?
