Looks awesome. Somebody NEEDS to pack 3 of the 6W diodes in this. A realistic 15W handheld laser would be killer....on your batteries and wallet lol. Still, would be awesome. And the simple fact that it is possible means someone must do it.
Thinking about doing 1 standard 9mm, and 1 - 6 Watter to keep costs down. Not sure how that would work. I'm also not sold on the 6 watters bad divergence. I have lots, and lots of options, and may start a poll looking for suggestions. The third hole will probably be filled with a red targeting lazer due to the difficulty of merging 3 beams of the same wavelength, which would requires knife edging. I'd rather have 2 overlapping beams, than 3 stacked, and I don't think this design will lend itself to easy knife edging?
