I have installed the lens both ways and took photos. One side gives me a nice-ish beam when screwn all the way out, and a line when screwn all the way. The other side gives me a focused point for burning when screwn all the way out, and a line again when all the way in.
I am selling a laser using the Mitsubishi ML501P73 diode ran at 1A, which gives me ~800mw.
The laser was built by me recently, but I am now selling it because the laser is too powerful for me, and I am too irresposible and scared I'll hurt myself or someone else.
Here are some photos of the...
I have a 800-ish mw 638nm laser.
I would like to sell it but I have no one to sell it to.
If there is someone on this forum who might be interested, I would gladly provide more info.

I have checked out the datasheet which says this is a "hologram laser diode".
I still don't understand anything about it and what it does.
I was wondering, are there any low-ish power (5-50mw) 450, 405, 447 etc. nm laser diodes?
All of the blue diodes DTR has are 500-7000mw (excluding the Sharp 488 diode).
Is this a good lens to buy for the mitsubishi 638nm 500mw laser diode?

Ok, educate me on dummy loads, please.
For instance, if I have a 1A driver, and my laser diode is supposed to work on 2.2v, how many diodes do I need in a dummy load?
How do I calculate these things, and what do I even need to calculate?
I know I should probably know these things, but I don't...
I tried putting it into a pill to see if it will fit, but then I couldn't get it out anymore, so I tried pulling it with pliers and squashed it...
But it doesn't matter, I put some wire where the ring goes as seen here:
Which holds the driver where it should be and isolates it.
Also, later...
I did recieve a new brass ring, along with two driver pills for free just today...
But I, ashamed to admit it, kinda broke it...
I am very clumsy and, uh, unskilled.
Well that sucks. I was thinking to wrap some electrical tape around the driver and then just solder it to the top of the pill -as it would normally sit. If I want a new ring it's gonna cost me $17, and that's a bit ridiculous. The component that was touching the ring is a diode, but I think it's...
So I have a survival lasers c6 host and a fixed current driver. My question is can I put the driver into the pill WITHOUT a brass ring? Also, some components on the board are touching the the pill, is that supposed to happen?
