Yes the shipment arrived. In the order I bought one of their ~$50US 5mW 405nm in that same host. With a single 18650 cell the output power was about 115mW with the supplied plastic lens and about 200mW with the head assy removed. With a pair of 16340 cells the output was about 185mW with the...

I forgot to mention, that eBay seller I linked above sells both the same host with included module mount, and modules that fit them. Free shipping with tracking. Case Housing Host for Focusable Waterproof Laser Pointer Torch GD 350 Type | eBay Check out their store. My order from them only...

There are a lot of suppliers of green modules. Many sellers in china and other countries on eBay, sellers on here, and online stores. Many of those offer free shipping. Once you have module in hand, there are several ppl here that offer machining services. Any one of those can make you a...

See below Faisalbasha, as Eudaimonium stated, DO NOT file down the brass heatsink to make it fit looser in the host. You will ruin the ability of that heatsink to effectively couple heat into the aluminum host barrel for dissipation. That host relies upon the tight interference fit between the...

They arrived on friday, the 11th Thank you Bob

The presses arrived yesterday, they look good. I tried using the extraction press last night but I encountered some minor difficulties so I stopped. The threaded hole through the brass part is a bit of a loose fit for the threaded part. But even with that there is still some minor binding of the...

Brings back some fond memories. It's been decades since I built one of those. I suggest you shop around. There are surplus vendors with online stores that sometimes have ruby laser components at fair prices. You might want to look into some more modern surplus options as well. I picked up a...

Two years ago I had a shipment of 10 "true 5mw" greenies from DX get confiscated by San Francisco customs. No explanation why and they were never sent on to me. On my recent return from China last month I brought back a couple of dismantled handhelds, a 1W 445nm and a 500mW 405nm. I was...

Hey there Jeff Your tools certainly look well made. I can hardly wait for the presses I ordered to arrive so I can try them out. Bob

Hey there DTR Tried responding by PM to thank you for your very fast response to my request for the copper modules. PM send kept failing. Lousy dialup internet here. I had to drive to a broadband wifi hotspot in order to send payment to you. Thank you Bob

Re: Need help with identifying host and more I finally found the power cord for my custom Kenometer. I tested both with no lens at all, holding each heatsink about 1/2" away from the sensor face. I zeroed the meter prior to powering up each laser, and verified it returned to zero again after...

Reading through all of these posts took a while, made even longer by the addition of a bunch of unrelated pictures that took forever to load on my slow dialup internet. I serioulsy doubt that the OP is trying to troll, unlike a majority of the responses. There were some that offered helpful...

Re: Need help with identifying host and more Merry Christmas to all Sorry I didn't respond sooner, was battling food poisoning and been pretty much sleeping around the clock for the past couple of days. My fever finally broke about an hour ago. A friend made some ground turkey taco fixins and...

Re: Need help with identifying host and more Yea, back home here in my shop I have all the tools I need, could have pressed the modules out in a few minutes. At the time, I had limited light and even more limited tools at my disposal. I didn't want to risk trying to remove them wrong and ruin...

Re: Need help with identifying host and more One and the same. I stopped posting and removed most of my content after that TOS change that I could not agree to. Some of that I now wish that I had left up, as it was good info that I had no intent on using for a marketed product anyways. I guess...

Re: Need help with identifying host and more Here are the photos of the disassembled hendhelds. I marked each head assy and matching heatsink assy with matching color tape since the lenses are glued in at different focal points...

Re: Need help with identifying host and more Well, that didn't pan out either. My boring biz partner had our agenda all planned out, so never got to see Bob Laser. I suggested it at least half a dozen times while we were enroute ;-) Good news is I'm back in the US now. I divided the bits and...

Re: Need help with identifying host and more I would upload them if I had them. I didn't take any pics of the modules in my rush to get packed, will have to do that in a few days. I have to fly out to Shenzhen in southern China in a few hours. For those unfamiliar, the Shenzhen area is where...

Re: Need help with identifying host and more Thank you! They were in there solid but being patient did the trick. The threaded looking section turned out to be nothing more than tooling lines from them turning that end of the barrel on the inside a bit to better clear the brass heatsink. The...

While here in China on business I picked up a couple of "not so cheap" handhelds. One was advertised as a 405nm/500mW and the other as a 445nm/1000mW. The reason I say "not so cheap" is they were a lot more expensive to buy in-country than you can get them for when having them shipped to the US...
