You need the same stuff I believe for IR or Red or BluRay.
Diode
Lens/housing (usually aixiz for both)
Housing for all of it (MXDL or flashlight or custom box)
Driver (home build DDL or bought)
Batteries, solder, soldering iron
Electrical tape
Possibly
Hot Glue or heat shrink tubing
Anyone want any parts? The diodes are obviously mine but I will sell anything out of here, case, motors, lens, mirrors, dichro lens'
Someone said they wanted the disc motor for R/C plane, someone please let me know who that was.
I got the lens and driver from pyrotronic on ebay but he is also on the forums here.

The laser module is a open can 115d. You focus the beam by pulling the inner slide tube out, I'll take more pics of it. It is WAY WAY BETTER THAN AIXIZ for burning, but not as...
That's right you're the one that told me rechargeable, I should edit and give you full credit. It doesn't heat up much but you can feel it get warm but after a couple seconds it feels like it goes back to room temp. I don't think passive cooling like a heat sink will help much, I think a peltier...
Before I put the diode in I put a 1 ohm resistor in and measured the voltage to get the mA. I took the resistor out and measured the volts, then I put the LD in and measured the volts again in parallel with the laser.
With 3 AA's the circuits already 4v for some reason? But 3v when the laser is hooked up. I dunno, I think he wired something wrong but everything checks out and the mA is what it should be.
I have a 17yr old brother, I ordered a pioneer 115d diode pressed into an aixiz laser housing with a glass lens for my brother. I then went to radio shack and bought all the parts needed for a DDL driver. I taught my brother some electronics stuff and instructed him on what to do (he already had...
