I made mention, a month or so ago,
r-p-m-c lasers has some HL6750MG diodes for sale. I think they're ~$40 each. Per an email, they have 16 in stock. I thought I'd stop in to see if any of you would be interested in these. OR, any other they list in stock on their sight.
If a few jumped in, it...
Okay, call me weird...
For some reason I’ve been wanting to make a slim pen-pointer, which would use AAAA...yes 4-A, cells. I don’t want to just buy one; that’s no fun.
Are any of you machinist types able to make a thin-wall brass or Al tube with threaded aperture and battery-end caps, and...
I’m not sure if a member on here is selling these or not. Anyway, I found these being sold on eBay, new in box supposedly. I pulled the trigger on one and thought I’d share in case any of you would be interested, too...
Hey, folks. Some of you may know that my favorite wavelength is in the red spectrums. I was thinking of buying this Ushio HL6750MG diode from RPMC lasers.
Ive attached the data sheet on it.
Would I be correct to drive this as a case negative diode and isolated (or use continuous negative...
As you all are aware, nano drivers are nonexistent. I damaged (crushed corner) the inductor on my last nano driver😩😭. She dead.
Do any of you guys know the value of this driver’s inductor? I’d hate to lose this driver over this. Thanks in advance guys.

Hello, Laser Nutz. Here in Okinawa there’s a restaurant called Warren and JJ’s Place. They’re a small place and specialize in Cajun and Okinawan/Japanese cuisine. My wife and I have visited them twice. The food they prepare is out of this world!! They donate tons of meals and generously...
Hello, LPF! I have an Alibaba account and a reliable vendor that carries non typical Li-ion battery sizes. They are:
10180, 10220, 10280, 12300, 14200, 14250, 14300, 14430, 14650, 16280, 22350, 26350
If there was enough interest in these I could make a bid and a mass order and have them all...
This weekend I decided to pull the trigger on another keychain. Oscar’s kitty toy is no longer that.
This was, by far, my hardest build. I punched out all the guys and salvaged the switch only. I used a ML101U29 and FlexdriveV5 set to 300mA. Used two sided sticky as a seat for the switch and...
Hello, LPF!!
I disassembled a 3EG lens today to clean with a disposable lens cloth wipe, which work great. Usually I use canned air but this time they needed wiped.
Out of curiosity I butted the spacer between the two lenses in my hand, and it appeared the spacer provides no spacing or...
I’m selling one of my prized builds. This one wasn’t an easy build due to the tight area. It’s a fun little laser...Quite a novelty.
I haven’t LPM’d it as I don’t own one. But, this little green booger has awesome power for its tiny package. A 520nm 2 element glass lens is mounted. I’m...
Some of you know I’ve had the worst of luck trying to build a Red WL pen. I’ve killed a few open can diodes and even a couple drivers, regrettably. But, tonight it came together successfully :)
This is nothing new or special to most. Only to me:D. Here are some pics along the way and a couple...
My inspiration to build this pen came when I came across RA_pierce’s 505 Chrome pen build. I just had to have one, too:D
Thx, buddy!!

I bought the Sharp GH05030C2LM 35mW diode on techhood...
Today, I completed a long awaited keychain laser. The host is a cheap LED flashlight which used 4 LR44 button cells. The anodized color and size told me I had to build a tiny laser with it:D. Components are DTR PL520 with Nano buck/boost driver at 275mA, Copper heatsink from LPF’s renowned...
Here’s an UltraFire C3 I bought from deal extreme several months ago. It arrived DOA. Waited 5 weeks for it too >(
What better than to turn it into a laser...Duh...
I’ve had a diode from a BDR-208bk for quite a while... Lifetime17’s heatsink was the final touch:)
THIS WAS A HARD BUILD because...
Welp, she won’t make the Obituaries... but I killed a nice diode. I finally got time to sit down and put all of this together. All was going AWESOME!! I was so careful. And then a fatal mistake put this diode’s dick in the dirt:(
Continue below.

Excuse...
Does anyone have a couple new LPC836 or ML101U29-25 diodes and a spare 5.6mm copper Module you can sell to me for fair price?
I know they’re cheaply acquired on techhood/ebay but sending to APO address is an issue for most ebay types.
Thx in advance and
Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hey, guys!! I bought an x-switch from Flaminpyro a couple weeks ago. I want to put a single mode diode red on it for the Leadlight Pen host I have. The current is fixed at 320mA. I was kind of thinking maybe an LPC836... what do you guys think?
Also, after searching a bunch and reading...
I’ve been meaning to build and post this build for a while but been working long hours for days...
I asked Lifetime17 to build me a copper pen 14500x2 version of his 10440 pen.
Observe.
Do any of you have one of these or a viable alternative lying around in your laser sock drawer you can sell me?
The Groove 2, I think, is the driver I'm needing to run low mA diode with 2 li-ion cells (pen).
I emailed Innolasers on those. I also PM'd Flaminpyro on an X-Switch 320mA
(thx...
I've been thinking of building a very slim pen. Something to run on 2 AAAAs. Of course this will require a narrow driver. I saved a driver from a cheap 5mw-ish Alpec pen. But I have higher power ambition. I'd love to use something green like a PL520.
Here's a few pics of this miniature at...
