Yeah, mine has the line through it as well. The focus seems to stay consistent even at a far distance though. I tried to pop a black baloon at several distances but it would not pop. I pulled out my DIY red and it popped instanly without focusing it down. I'm pretty disappointed with mine as I...

Re:  Violet laser modules $27 ***CLOSED*** I got mine today. Thanks Dr. Lava!

I just got mine today SenKat. Thanks for the fast shipping. However, this thing is not as bright as the dvd burner reds I have been making, second it won't even pop a black baloon or light a sharpied match at any distance. My DIY red pops black baloons instantly and unsharpied matches very...

Awesome SenKat! Thanks for the update man! A little bummed they didn't test out over 200mW like the manufacturer promised but after the wait I'll be tickled pink (or red as it were) to get 180-190mW! Thanks for all the hard work on getting these to us!

Hows the testing coming along SenKat? The suspense is killing me ;)

Thanks for all the cool comments guys! If anyone wants to build this I can give details. It's really not hard at all. The powder coating was the easiest part of it all. I've never been very good with spray cans at all, and I thought for sure I would screw up the powder coat but it was easy and I...

Alright... no more talking about the sentorch until mine comes in ;) Seriously... the wait is killing me here!

IgorT: Yes, it can be made to fit rechargeables as long as they have a slightly smaller diameter than Cr123a's. The CR123 cells actually fit slightly snug in the tube until the threads are cut in. Once the tube is threaded the top of the 123's catch on the threads pretty tightly. I have some...

Here is my completed aluminum housing for my DIY GB red diode I just received from SenKat. It is standard aluminum tubing from Lowes and has standard plumbing fixtures for end cap and front aperture. It uses 2 CR2 lithium cells and also uses the standard DDL driver circuit found on the forum. I...

You want to remove the diode from this module? There is no sure way to do this (that I know of) without risking damage to the diode. I have only removed 2 diodes from the 5mW modules that still worked after the extraction and both cans were dented pretty badly. I removed the 5mWs to use the...

SenKat, I've sent you a couple of PM's but I don't think there getting thru for some reason. I bought 2 GB diodes from you a few weeks ago and I saw in the GB Diode thread that all were in route to us. I have not got mine in North Carolina yet and was wondering if I should have them by now...

My son loves lasers just as mush as I do 8-) Sometimes I will let him play with the low powered pointers I have. I have taught him to be safe with the lasers though and he does very well. Here he is playing with a 5mW 635nm Atlasnova pointer and the fog machine. He loves the fog machine as much...

Here is the tailcap.

I tried to find some parts to make a housing for CR123a batteries and almost had it! No go though...for now. Here's what I got to offer right now... How about an aluminum housing for two 3 volt CR2s? If there is interest in this setup I will continue on with the build. Here is a picture of what...

Thanks for all of the comments guys! Getting ready to go to Lowes to do some more parts fishing! I'm going to head right to the checkout and pick up a Cr123 battery and open it up and go right back in to the store to see what fits. I found some CR2s I had for my digital camera and I'll take...

Hey thanks SenKat! I appreciate that! Maybe if there is enough interest, we can come together and find even better pieces to this puzzle and get it looking even better. Here is the picture of the tailcap. Again this is an iron plumbing piece rom Lowes. I took a AA battery and an Aixiz module...
