The build cost around $200. Huge shoutout to @Lifetime17 for the host and assistance throughout the build.
Of course the first thing I got were some laser goggles from survival lasers.
This is using the NUBM06 diode powered by a 4A buck driver so it should be around 5W.

I used some thermal adhesive to secure the driver to the heatsink.
